Description
Machined from a tough-as-nails, corrosion-resistant 7075 aluminum alloy, this fly fishing reel can take the punishment of saltwater and freshwater environments alike. Sealed to 5 ATM, the micro-adjustable disc drag system is precision-engineered for smooth, reliable performance—just what you need when you’re facing off against beefy trout, hard-fighting bonefish, or wily permit.
Counterweighted to perfection, the 4/6 weight Elite’s spool is designed to hold 100 to 150 yards of 20 Ib backing for those times when that big fish starts streaking away in an adrenaline-fueled rush. A rubber O-ring on the counterweight is perfect for keeping your leader in place when you’re on the move.
All of our reels have a simple system for changing from left to right-handed retrieve. Watch the video below or scan the QR code on your recyclable reel box to learn how. Your 4/6 weight Elite 406 will come in a protective neoprene bag featuring the Montana Casting Co. logo. A smart jet black finish, red highlights, and laser engraved trout put the finishing touches on one of our best fish-wrangling machines.
