Aluminum Fly Reel

FL60 is built around a simple combination of metal construction and low overall weight. The reel body uses an all-aluminum alloy structure with precision die-cast processing, while the perforated frame and spool remove unnecessary material and help control reel weight without switching to a plastic construction.
At 100 g / 3.53 oz, FL60 provides a compact option for freshwater fly-reel product ranges where buyers want a metal-bodied reel but do not require the heavier structure, oversized spool, or high-capacity drag systems typically associated with salmon and heavy-duty fly reels.
The reel also uses a 1:1 direct retrieve, adjustable drag control, and 2+1BB bearing configuration for straightforward operation and line management.

The FL60 uses a perforated aluminum spool and frame structure rather than a solid metal profile. Removing material from non-critical areas helps reduce unnecessary reel mass while preserving the rigidity and feel of an all-metal platform.
This design is especially relevant for freshwater fly setups where reel balance and repeated casting comfort matter. Instead of relying on a lightweight plastic spool, FL60 maintains a metal construction while keeping the complete reel at approximately 100 g / 3.53 oz.
The open spool design also gives the reel a more technical appearance that can be adapted to different private-label positioning and finish requirements.

FL60 uses a large external metal adjustment knob that allows drag resistance to be changed according to line tension and fishing conditions.
The 1:1 direct retrieve means one full handle rotation corresponds directly with spool rotation, keeping the mechanical system simple and predictable during line recovery.
A 2+1BB bearing configuration supports spool and handle operation, while the full-metal handle provides a solid contact point during retrieval.

Freshwater Fly Fishing Applications

FL60 is best positioned as a compact aluminum reel for light and general freshwater fly-fishing programs. Its 100 g / 3.53 oz weight helps limit unnecessary bulk, while the metal body provides a more substantial construction than entry-level plastic reel designs.

Because the available product information does not specify a standardized fly-line WT rating, model selection should be based on the intended rod setup and verified line-capacity requirements.
