Envy 406 Fly Reel
Pair Your Reel With:
Description
The eye-catching finish and laser-engraved trout aren’t the only features to envy on this performance-driven fly reel. A counterweight-balanced spool and multi-disc Teflon, cork, and carbon disc-drag system (sealed to 3 ATM) make for a suave, smooth, superbly grime-resistant fly fishing reel.
We kept the weight down and the durability up with a 6061-T6 CNC machined aluminum alloy and a large arbor enables fast, efficient line retrieve. With 75 to 100 yards (or 100 to 125 with a 7/9 wt model) of 20 Ib backing capacity, you’ll have plenty of backing when hard-fighting fish start to run. Pair the glacier blue reel with the Warm Springs fly fishing rod for a luminous effect or the deepwater green reel with the Craig fly rod to capture those darker river tones—either rig will be the envy of everyone on the water.
To keep your fly reel safe and looking spiffy when you’re off the river, we’re including a neoprene reel bag with a Velcro enclosure. Changing your retrieve from left to right-handed is simple. Watch the how-to video on this page - it's located just below the reviews. No tools needed!
