Orvis Battenkill Disc Fly Reel – Black II

Orvis Battenkill Disc Fly Reel – The Battenkill disc fly reel, a proven legend of the Orvis reel family, is now ushered into the next decade. Orvis didnâ t touch the reliability and workhorse natureâ those aspects are not for negotiation. Instead, the team worked to tighten tolerances for even smoother operation and updated key facets of the design like improved hand feel on the drag knob, a curved reelfoot that wonâ t kink leaders, and new, understated colors that complement the aesthetic of Superfine, Classic Bamboo, or even freshwater Helios and Recon rods. Includes the stout Hydros SL drag system, which incorporates six interacting carbon and stainless drag surfaces. Positive click drag is simple and easy to adjust. Each reel is built of 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum with an ergonomic Delrin handle, and changing from left to right hand retrieve is simple. Mid-arbor with a ported design that pays homage to Battenkill reels of old. A true modern classic.
