The Speedster S and Speedster S HD reels feature a fully CNC machined frame and spool for durability and lasting finish.

Our reels are sized for one line weight up or down. For example, a -5+ is appropriate 4/5/6wt fly lines. If you are in between sizes staying with the smaller reel is usually a good guideline. If you would prefer to prioritize backing capacity or like a larger arbor, the larger size will work better.

Yes, spare spools are available and they work on both the standard and HD reels.

HD = heavy duty. These reels feature a full frame design that captures fly line and prevents thin running lines from slipping between the frame and spool. Important for Euro Nymphing and Spey methods. The also makes the reels incredibly durable.

We use a proprietary sealed, conical drag that offers a wide range of drag settings with plenty of stopping power on the high end. This sealed drag can be used in fresh or saltwater and helps keep water and debris out.
