A MARVEL OF ENGINEERING. THE PINNACLE OF PERFORMANCE. 

The SLT 11/12+ is a high-performance fly reel engineered for the demands of blue water fishing, targeting powerful species like tuna and marlin. Featuring a cutting-edge drag system capable of delivering up to 15 pounds of smooth, reliable resistance, this reel provides anglers with the stopping power needed to control large pelagic fish.

The newly designed drag system is powered by a cutting-edge, alternating stainless steel and carbon discs stack, that effectively disperses heat and facilitates ultra-smooth engagement when fighting the world’s most powerful fish. An oversized low-durometer rubber O-ring provides consistency throughout the drag adjustment range, allowing for even resistance with every click of the drag knob. Many competitors’ drag systems inconsistently increase pressure—either too quickly or too slowly. The SLT’s drag is linear with every click, allowing anglers to dial in their settings for the perfect amount of resistance. Additionally, the new drag stack features a high and low-end hard stop, preventing over-tightening and free spooling.

Zero Backlash Clutch
The SLT features a re-imagined and incredibly smooth clutch mechanism. Inspired by the tried-and-true clutch that revolutionized the fly reel industry for two decades, the re-imagined clutch seamlessly transitions from the highest drag settings and provides ultimate smoothness when fighting unforgiving fish. All internal componentry has been made larger for easy handling, tighter tolerances, and is made to take higher heat and torque that come with fishing for tarpon, giant trevally, and arapaima among others. 

Fully Sealed Carbon Drag
Featuring a fully water- and debris-sealed system, hardcore anglers can rest easy knowing the SLT can withstand days of saltwater, mud, sand, and dirt without fail.
