Orvis Fly Reels
Whether you’re gifting a fly rod or you just know that your friend or a family member needs a new reel, you can’t go wrong with one from Orvis. With tons of options like the affordable Clearwater Large-Arbor ($69-$129) to the ultra-lightweight Hydro SL ($239), there’s a reel for every fly-fishing enthusiast.
We didn’t recommend specific Orvis Fly Fishing Reels because each reel has a different best use. Some are for lighter rods, some are for heavier. Some have more drag, some have less. So your best bet here is to talk to a friend of your recipient to find out what they might like or do some snooping to see what will work best for them.
