Cheeky Fly Fishing

Thrash 475 Fly Reel

Designed for saltwater fly fishing, the Cheeky Thrash 475 Fly Reel features a sealed drag system with the stopping power to turn the tide during your next tarpon battle. With a look that's anything but traditional, the Thrash boasts a grip of features any modern angler will appreciate. Most notable is the Max large arbor, which is 4.75-inches in diameter; this allows the reel to pick up to 15 inches of line per revolution. You might think a reel this big and burly might be heavy, but thanks to its lightweight design, the reel weighs just 10.5 ounces. Also unique to the Thrash is the B2 backing channel, which allows the reel to hold 20% more line over traditional large arbor reels. Spools can be switched out easily with a quick twist of a knob, and the reel can be converted to either a left- or right-handed retrieve.
