Hydros Large Arbor Fly Reel
A big-game changer.
From trout to tuna, the Orvis Hydros Large Arbor Fly Reel handles it all. Available in sizes I-VI, this true large arbor reel features precision-machined, anodized 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum for superb durability and longevity. The Hydros also offers maximum line pick-up, optimum drag consistency, and solid fish-stopping power. Equipped with a center line drag with a carbon and stainless steel surface to fight big fish, the Hydros has a heavily ventilated design for optimum weight and balance on your fly rod. An indexed drag knob enables repeatable drag adjustment while an interchangeable spool offers ease of use. This reel is available in multiple sizes: the larger the reel, the larger the drag surface and the more resistance to handle larger fish. Using stacked carbon washers, controlled by a positive click adjustment system, the Hydros can be fine-tuned to handle a variety of fish with sustained and infinitely durable drag pressure.
