"These Anti-reverse reels are designed to be used everyday by the hard core fly fisherman or guide."
Alaska, it's fish, and it's environment will test even the best equipment. "If a product works well under these tough conditions it will work well anywhere." That's whey we will continue to test and refine our
products with the input from saltwater and freshwater guides. No matter what your environment might throw at these reels, you can be assured they will respond with superior performance. Both the AC 7/9 AR and the AC 5/6 are field convertible from right hand to left hand retrieve and machined from solid aluminum alloys. The large diameter graphite impregnated cork drag disc and dual counter-wound stainless tension spring pack provides very smooth function through a wide range of adjustment. The finish on the reels is a corrosion proof smooth matte black anodize, inside and out. While other parts are made of smooth bead finish stainless steel. All reels include a custom soft reel pouch. Every effort is made to utilize only the best materials and finishes to enhance the performance of these reels.
