Reels That Keep You in Control
A good reel keeps you in control when that monster fish starts to run. Rather than free spooling, our reels utilize a smooth disc drag system that offers a fluid feel and helps prevent backlash. Our reels also come in eco-friendly packaging and are designed to be quickly changed from left to right-handed retrieve. For instructions on how to do so, or a tutorial on spooling your rod, visit our FAQs or see the How To's on each reel product page.

What Sets Our Reels Apart?
Every Montana Casting Co.® fly fishing reel is built from high quality, corrosion-resistant materials and boasts a sealed, micro-adjustable, Teflon-cork disc drag system. Designed by husband-wife duo Scott and Cat Joyner and tested rigorously on Montana waters, these reels are made for hard fishing and fishing hard. To learn more about the differences between our reels, check out our blog on the 406 Reel Series.

The 406 Reel Series
Montana to the core
406 means Montana. With just over a million people calling the Big Sky state home, Montana remains one of only 12 states to keep a single area code.
The 4th largest state in the nation, Montana is just over 147,000 square miles and boasts a total of 42,000 square miles of public land. We are proud of our wide-open range and rugged wilderness.
Designed, tested, and perfected on Montana waters, these reels are an homage to those wild places that inspired our love of fly fishing.
