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

Guideline Halo Fly Reel – Precision engineering, smooth drag, and modern performance.

The Guideline Halo Fly Reel sets a new standard in its class, offering premium design and performance at an accessible price. CNC-machined from high-quality aluminum, this large arbor reel delivers quick line retrieval and reduced coiling, while its full-frame rim cage prevents thin shooting lines from slipping between spool and frame. Built with a modern disc drag system of stacked carbon and stainless discs, the Halo provides smooth, consistent braking power—1.5 kg on smaller models and up to 4 kg on larger reels, ideal for everything from delicate Euro nymphing to salmon and even tropical species. Easy to convert between left- and right-hand retrieve, the Halo combines durability, functionality, and refined style with its distinctive engraved rim design. The Guideline Halo Fly Reel is the perfect balance of innovation, strength, and value for anglers who demand reliability across all waters.
