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.
