We carry three of the finest brands of fly reels – Abel, Bauer and Ross. We stock these for retails sales and these are brands we used on our guided fly fishing trips. All made in the USA!
We been trying to keep a good selection of reels in stock at different price points. For Steelhead, Salmon, Salt water and chasing big trout (7-9wt) here some of my favorites – Bauer RX, Ross Animas and Abel Rove & SDS. For all round trout – Bauer RVR, Ross Animas & Colorado and Abel VAYA & SDF.
