Q: Is the drag sealed for fishing in wet, dirty conditions?
A: Yes, it has a sealed drag system designed to keep out moisture and dirt. It is also built to resist corrosion, so you can fish it in demanding conditions.
Q: What kind of drag system does this fly reel use?
A: It uses an inline carbon disc drag for a wide range and reliable stopping power. The drag surface is over 4 square inches, and a one-way clutch bearing helps provide instant drag engagement.
Q: Can I switch the retrieve from left-hand to right-hand?
A: Yes, the reel is designed to be easy to change from left-hand to right-hand retrieve. That flexibility makes it simple to set up the reel the way you like to fish.
Q: What does the large arbor design do for me on the water?
A: A large arbor helps you pick up line more quickly when a fish turns and comes toward you. It also stores line in larger, more relaxed loops.
Q: Does the Apex Fly Reel come with a case?
A: Yes, we include a nylon reel case. It is a convenient way to protect and store the reel between trips.
