The new Orvis Hydros
Reel is the result of our own desire to make something great, that much better.
We took a best-selling reel and removed unnecessary material to further reduce
the weight while stiffening the narrow spool, which minimizes line stacking. We
changed the drag knob to be more ergonomically accessible and comfortable to
use. We further refined the seal on the sealed drag to protect the clutch
bearing in the drag mechanism. We radiused the reel foot as on the Mirage for
kink-free leader protection. The fully sealed drag with stacked carbon and
stainless steel disc washers is still one of the strongest in the industry,
with zero start-up inertia. Matte type II anodized finish, standard large arbor
size which balances better with lighter-weight fly rod, and yet still offers
excellent retrieval rates and less line coiling than standard arbor reels.
Refinement and improvement are the hallmarks of quality. Matte black with
silver accents, matte silver with charcoal accents. Imported.
