Our Origin Fly Fishing Reel has been designed with the modern fly angler in mind. Our focus was to create an incredibly lightweight fly reel that features several functional elements to eliminate the need for multiple reels in the same size and line rating. A full cage or frame was incorporated for the avid Euro nymph anglers, here we recommend fulling the spool up with ample backing to aid with retrieval speed and counterbalance on the longer 10' fly rods. A sealed smooth maintenance-free drag system means less down-time on the water as well as giving you peace of mind even when fishing those light 5X+ tippets. A thin narrow profile with an oversized arbor assists with line lay, line pickup and reducing overall line memory. The thin profile keeps the reel more in line with your arm and reduces tortional twist and forearm fatigue in the process, something that after a full day of Euro nymphing will be felt. Smooth tight tolerances bring the whole package together for a truly unique look and feeling fly reel, with a low audible click on both the retrieval and outgoing drag. We use the Origin fly reels for light saltwater, as well as our Trout setups for both traditional streamer/casting rods as well as Euro nymphing rigs.
