What types of fly fishing reels do you sell?

Drift Outfitters carries fly reels for trout, bass, steelhead, salmon, and saltwater. From lightweight trout reels to heavy-duty large arbor models, we’ve got you covered.

How do I choose the right fly reel size?

Fly reels are sized to match your fly rod weight. For example, a 5/6 reel is ideal for trout rods in that weight range, while an 8/9 reel pairs well with steelhead or saltwater rods. The right reel balances your setup and provides enough backing capacity for the species you’re targeting.

Which fly reel brands do you carry?

We stock top brands like Abel, Sage, Ross, Redington, Guidline, Echo and more. These reels are trusted for durability, smooth drags, and lasting performance.

Do I need a large arbor reel?

Large arbor reels retrieve line faster, reduce line memory, and provide more backing capacity. They’re especially useful when fighting big, hard-running fish.

What materials are fly reels made from?

Most modern fly reels are built from machined aluminum or die-cast alloys, offering strength and durability. Entry-level reels may use composites, while premium models feature lightweight, corrosion-resistant metals ideal for saltwater.

How should I care for my fly reel?

Rinse with fresh water after each trip, especially in saltwater. Let it dry fully, keep ferrules clean, and store it in a reel case to protect it.

Product Description

Echo - Bravo Fly Reel – Saltwater-Ready Power and Simplicity

The Echo Bravo Fly Reel is engineered for power and durability in the salt, featuring the innovative PIT STOP drag system—a saltwater-safe, maintenance-free carbon fiber disc drag that offers smooth, consistent stopping power. This system is easy to service in seconds without tools, making it ideal for anglers who demand reliability on long, remote adventures.

With a large arbor design for rapid line pickup and reduced line memory, the Bravo is perfect for taming hard-fighting saltwater species like redfish, bonefish, or even small tarpon. The robust construction ensures long-term performance under harsh conditions, while the ergonomic drag knob and design touches make it an intuitive choice for both seasoned and aspiring saltwater fly anglers.
