Orvis - Orvis Hydros Reel -

Orvis changed the drag knob to be more ergonomically accessible and comfortable to use. They further refined the seal on the sealed drag to protect the clutch bearing in the drag mechanism. The fully sealed drag with stacked carbon and stainless steel disc washers is still one of the strongest in the industry, with zero startup inertia. Matte type II anodized finish, standard large arbor size which balances better with a 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. Imported.
