OEM Trout Fly Reel for Balanced 3/4 WT and 5/6 WT Setups
For trout-focused fly-fishing programs, reel size should match the intended rod and fly-line weight. The FX75MM-3/4 is suited to lighter stream and dry-fly setups, while the FX85MM-5/6 provides a broader all-around option for nymphing, dry flies, and general trout fishing.
The FX95MM-7/8 expands the same platform into heavier line classes for larger freshwater species, streamer applications, and buyers who want a broader fly-reel family under one product line. All three models use a 1:1 retrieve, reversible retrieve direction, and metal construction for a consistent series identity.
