Redington SVI Series Large Arbor Fly Fishing Reel - 3/4wt

I will use this for a floating line reel on my 4wt rod as I have another Redington with sink tip for the same rod. It appears well made and I'm sure it will serve me well.

One can spend a lot on flyfishing gear. This reel is a good inexpensive start into the great sport of flyfishing.

good reel and good construction, just very heavy for a 3/4 wt. hard to complain for the price though

This reel is cast and machined aluminum with the drag system housing and adjustment knob being injection molded. The cork disc drag is partially visible via a gap between the drag housing and reel. Thus not suitable for salt water use since maintenance will necessitate dismantling the whole reel and drag. It's a robust reel for the relatively low price. The fit of the spool and reel is good and operation is smooth. Great reel for the novice or for a knock around set up for the mountain lakes and rivers.

Great little trout reel to use on 904 Powell rod to teach Grand kids and beginners. Just can't beat the quality and price on this reel and if it gets a few nicks that's ok too.
