Orvis Hydros is a true large arbor big game reel with a scaled drag surface that increases total drag surface by model size. The larger the reel the larger the drag surface. The Hydros drag system is composed of totally sealed, stacked carbon washers, which can be finely tuned to suit any game fish. The large arbor design, of course multiplies retrieval rates and eliminates line coil.

Our Price: $249.00

The fully sealed drag system of the Orvis Hydros 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 anodized 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. Refinement and improvement are the hallmarks of quality. Matte black with silver accents, matte silver with charcoal accents. Imported.

Orvis Hydros II Euro Reel

Our Price: $279.00

The Hydros® Euro fly-fishing reel now makes its debut as a fully caged European nymphing machine. Given this style of fishing heavily leans on impossibly thin running line or monofilament for casting, we’ve modified our Hydros II into a Euro version with a full cage and tightened the tolerances to completely eliminate lines from slipping between spool and frame. We’ve also increased the reel’s weight slightly to better balance with the 10' and 11' rods so common in Euro circles. The reel includes a more ergonomically accessible drag knob. A refined seal on the sealed drag to protect the clutch bearing in the drag mechanism. That radiused reel foot for kink-free leader protection. Above all, it’s still got the bombproof, truck-stopping, fully sealed Hydros drag system with stacked carbon/stainless steel disc washers and zero startup inertia. In matte olive with silver accents.
Imported.
