SPARE SPOOL - Orvis Battenkill Disc Series Fly Reels - Black
Ushered into the next decade with key design improvements, the updated 2024 edition Battenkill Disc series fly reels from Orvis features the same proven reliability and a workhorse nature we've come to trust and love; only enhanced now with even tighter tolerances, for even smoother operation than ever before. Built around the stout Hydros SL drag system, which incorporates six interacting carbon and stainless drag surfaces, the Battenkill Disc features a positive click drag system that is simple and easy to adjust. With additional updated facets of design like improved hand feel, a curved reelfoot that won't kink leaders, and handsome new finish colors that better complement the aesthetic of Superfine, Classic Bamboo, or even freshwater Helios and Recon series fly rods; this legendary performer is available in your choice of three sizes. Built of 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum with an ergonomic Delrin handle, changing from left to right hand retrieve is simple, and each reel sports an optimized mid-arbor with a ported design that pays homage to the original Battenkill reels of old. A true modern classic, indeed.
