Orvis Clearwater Reels in Charcoal Gray - New for 2025!
Packs a ton of value with a die-cast design and sealed disc drag you won't find in similarly priced reels.
Still the best performance-to-value fly fishing reel series in the industry, Clearwater Large-Arbor Reels have a new addition to the family—the Clearwater II. The die-cast design is protected by a durable powder-coat finish built to withstand hard use. An improved Carbon®-to-stainless, sealed disc drag holds its own with high-performance machined reels. The new Clearwater II fly reel converts easily to either left- or right-hand retrieve. Positive click drag knob delivers consistent settings. Updated radiused reel foot keeps your leader from kinking when wrapped around it.
