Orvis Hydros III 5-7 Weight Fly Fishing Reel (Black)

Refinement and improvement are the hallmark of quality. 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 minimises 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 anodised 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. Matte black with silver accents, matte silver with charcoal accents.
