Silver Level - Saltwater Strength

Orvis Hydros

Orvis Hydros

Improvement on great-selling Hydros SL

  • Refined, lighter weight large arbor fly reel
  • Improved fully-sealed drag clutch bearing
  • Fully sealed drag-clutch bearing
  • Radiused reel foot for kink-free leader protection
  • Ergonomically designed asymmetric drag knob
  • Zero start-up inertia
  • Excellent retrieval rates and less line coiling

Angler's Lane Commentary:
Excellent value packed into a machined bar stock reel starting under $200. Quickly emerged as a favorite among our guides for value.

Lamson Guru S

  • Fully machined from bar stock aluminum
  • Signature arm-style element on the frame combines with open spokes to maximize structural strength and minimize weight.
  • Large arbor design for maximum line capacity and fast retrieval to get fish on reel
  • Shares identical drag design and components with our most expensive reels
  • Saltwater-proof, durable, scratch-resistant, hard-type 2 anodized finish
  • Corrosion resistant, low maintenance, stainless-steel fly reel gearing
  • Fly reel is easily switched from right to left-hand retrieve
  • Easy-to-grab center-line drag knob.
  • Manufactured in Boise ID

Angler's Lane Commentary:
Phenomenal reel for saltwater and freshwater alike. Outstanding value. Real workhorse.

 

Lamson Centerfire

Lamson Centerfire
  • Lamson's proprietary IPX8 waterproof-rated Cobalt drag system second to none for smoothness and consistency in retrieve performance
  • Burly Power Arm construction and load path reinforcement
  • Precision machined 100% aerospace bar stock aluminum and stainless steel construction for maximum strength and corrosion protection
  • Completely sealed drag mechanism
  • Simple retrieve direction conversion
  • Tightest drag setting is really tight: useful if you need to break line or reel in a really heavy fish off the bottom of the Ocean. Caution--set it this tight and you may go in first
  • Extremely light reel

Angler's Lane Commentary:
Lamson has produced many powerful, saltwater reels. The Centerfire represents an outstanding value with components and construction on par with $1000+ reels at a significant savings.
