Orvis Hydros

Orvis took a best-selling reel and removed unnecessary material to further reduce the weight while stiffening the narrow spool, which minimizes line stacking. They changed the drag knob to be more ergonomically accessible and comfortable to use. They further refined the seal on the sealed drag to protect the clutch bearing in the drag mechanism. They radiused the reel foot as on the Mirage for kink-free leader protection. The fully sealed drag with stacked carbon and stainless steel disc washers is still one of the strongest in the industry, with zero start-up inertia. Matte type II anodized finish, standard large arbor size which balances better with lighter-weight fly rod, and yet still offers excellent retrieval rates and less line coiling than standard arbor reels. Refinement and improvement are the hallmarks of quality.

Orvis Battenkill Disc Reel<br>2025 Model from W. W. Doak

Orvis Battenkill Disc Reel
2025 Model

The Battenkill disc fly reel, a proven legend of the Orvis reel family, is now ushered into the next decade. Orvis didn't touch the reliability and workhorse nature, instead, the team worked to tighten tolerances for even smoother operation and updated key facets of the design like improved hand feel on the drag knob, a curved reelfoot that won't kink leaders, and new, understated colors. Includes the stout Hydros SL drag system, which incorporates six interacting carbon and stainless drag surfaces. Positive click drag is simple and easy to adjust. Each reel is built of 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum with an ergonomic Delrin handle, and changing from left to right hand retrieve is simple. Mid-arbor with a ported design that pays homage to Battenkill reels of old.

Orvis SSR Disc Spey Reel

The Swing, Step, Repeat (SSR) Disc Reel is designed to match both the two-handed rods of varying length and line weights, and the methodical, slowed-down pace of today's two-handed anglers. Each reel begins its life as a solid chunk of bar-stock aluminum which is then machined to tight tolerances. Critical to the SSR's design is the reel's unique porting. Not only do these ports allow backing and running lines to dry after rain-soaked river sessions, they drain a dunked reel quickly to help eliminate the dreaded 'ice donut.' That feature alone often goes unnoticed, until temps drop deep and everyone else's reels are freezing up. Everything about these reels scream stopping power, with a Hydros-proven sealed disc drag that protects lighter trout spey-sized tippets on the lower settings, yet can be dialed up to stun mode when a large specimen finds the heavy water. The easy-to-access drag knob even features a tactile outdent so you can feel the drag position without taking your eyes off the fish's alleged location. A radiused, rounded reel foot allows you to bend a leader around it's smooth edges without kinking leaders.
