Buttery Smooth Drag
From bonefish to chinook, tarpon to trout, the properties of our premium cork drag give you the stopping power you need with the smoothness you crave for consistent fish fighting pressure fish after fish, year after year. On top of that, our ingeniously simple system virtually eliminates the trip-ruining failures of canister-type drag systems.
Large Arbor For Quick Retrieve
The LX’s large arbor spool increases your retrieval rate so that when that torpedo runs right at you, you’ve got the pick up to stay on it. At the same time, spey anglers have all the capacity they need in the 4.5 inch model to tackle the big rivers where the chrome and the king reign.
Interchangeable Retrieve
Right or left handed… It doesn’t matter. With a simple procedure, you can reel your reel your way.
Features:
Cork Drag – Silky smooth with all the stopping power you need.
Large Arbor Spool Design – Quick line pick up but with enough capacity for any application
Changeable retrieval direction – Good for right or left handed anglers
Lifetime Warranty – The LX series is built to withstand the test of time so we stand behind it for its lifetime
Made in Canada – Proudly designed, machined, built and tested on Vancouver Island
Unlimited No Questions Asked Warranty

A Note on Maintenance
While you can rely on Islanders to deliver lifelong performance, following the maintenance instructions included with your reel will keep your reel performing at its best and minimize the need and hassle of sending your reel in for service.
When Canada Post lost my package, the guys at Drift Outfitters honored the sale and sent me a new order the next day. It's nice to deal with a company that has great customer service.
Drift is my go to spot for all my fly fishing needs. Super friendly and helpful staff that always steer you in the right direction. Super fast shipping and great prices too.
Best fly shop around! Great group of people and they have the best selection of gear! All the staff are super friendly and knowledgeable and they do tons of awesome stuff for the community. This shop is a great resource for all anglers in southern Ontario. 10/10 will shop again
Always get good service from the guys at the shop especially Chris…he is a pro….inventory is the best I have seen I. Any speciality fly shop which is rare in a single fly shop…support Canadian business /highly recommend
Dope fly shop, crazy selection of flies including big topwater bass flies of all sorts, and big pike flies which are pretty hard to find in person. Chill staff, loads of inventory. I make a point to stop here every time I'm in Toronto!
This is the best fly fishing store I have frequented in my 30 year fly fishing experience. The owner Rob, store manager Chris and the rest of the team are very knowledgeable about products and local fly fishing locations. They will guide you towards best products for your needs, and will not try to upsell if a lower priced option is better for you...
If you are in the GTA Drift is the only fly shop you need. They have an insane amount of quality tying products, packs, waders, boots, rods and reels. They also have the best staff w/ a staggering knowledge base.
