Our Vortex VO2 fly fishing reel, designed for big game fishing, is the finest reel in its category. The single most important piece of tackle for chasing big game, particularly in salt water, it is designed to handle big fish, providing the best possible drag and the fastest, most efficient retrieve. The Vortex VO2 offers 45 percent more drag surface than the competition, while being 20 percent lighter. With more capacity than our 2004 model, this newest addition to our selection of fly fishing reels represents a real innovation in big game fishing.
Choose our best-selling Battenkill.
We sell more of the Battenkill Disc Drag Fly Reel than any other reel, and for one reason: value. All Battenkill fly reels are backed by the Orvis 100 percent guarantee of satisfaction-you can never lose your investment. When you compare price, features, and guarantee to other fly fishing reels on the market, there's no question that this is the best value. Features include precision-machined drag gear with true disc drag, rather than an inferior caliper, with a wide, easily adjustable range; more drag surface; and easy conversion from right- to left-hand retrieve.
Our Rocky Mountain® Large Arbor fly fishing reels are perfect for anglers whose fishing adventures include a wide variety of water conditions. The British-made, cast-aluminum reels incorporate an interchangeable cartridge system and other, high-performance features normally found on much more expensive fly reels. Features include an adjustable disc-drag system similar to that used in our Battenkill Fly Reel series, as well as a quick-change cartridge spool system, reasonably priced extra spools for carrying different lines for different angling situations. The spools have a convenient line identification system molded into the cartridge, while the leader keeper on the reel foot secures the leader when the reel is not in use; this makes the end of the leader easy to locate when you next string-up. Easy left-hand to right-hand conversion makes this reel handy for a long angling session, and is perfect for the lefties in your fishing party.
