OEM Small Fly Fishing Reel for Lightweight Freshwater Setups
The SY Series is built around compact size and low reel weight. The smallest SY40 measures only 40 mm / 1.57 in in reel diameter and weighs 66.5 g / 2.35 oz, while SY50 and SY60 increase spool diameter and line capacity without significantly increasing overall weight.
All three models use a simple 1:1 direct retrieve and an externally adjustable drag system rated up to 3 kg / 6.6 lb. A hollowed spool structure reduces unnecessary material, while the quick-release mechanism provides direct access to the spool when changing or managing line.
The three-size platform gives buyers a straightforward way to build a coordinated small-reel assortment for creek, stream, river, pond, and other light freshwater product programs.
