Onyx Fly Reels
A new dimension in fly reel design and technology. The main reel frame and spool are made from lightweight, durable die-cast aluminium and finished on a precision NC machine, so you get the best of both worlds - the finish, feel and precision of a CNC machined reel, but at a die-cast price. The large arbor design gives faster line retrieve, more consistent drag performance and minimal line memory. Add to this a multi-disc, centre drag system and you have a fly reel which performs way above its expectations at this price level. The cork and stainless steel drag discs provide a smooth, powerful drag performance, with minimal start-up inertia to avoid those 'smash-takes'.
The #5/7 and #7/9 models come with an easy-change cassette spool system.
