Wychwood Salt Fly Reel

Wychwood Salt Fly Reel

As the name suggests, this is a fly fishing reel designed especially for those anglers who like to target saltwater species. The first thing you’ll notice about the Wychwood Salt Fly Reel is its striking brilliant white colour. Wychwood has achieved this by first anodising the reel itself and then re-coating it. This polar-white finish has been designed with tropical angling in mind, although it is also incredibly useful on those bright British days. Light colours are known to reflect light, rather than absorb it. Light energy creates heat, which can be disastrous for the delicate precision construction of fly reels. The white colouring of this reel reflects the sun’s light and heat, ensuring that this reel can perform to its full potential, no matter the conditions.

Wychwood’s cassette system spool has been one of the most popular in recent fly history and the brand’s super-large arbour design has been award winning. It also ensures that you can simply and inexpensively swap the spool – a truly innovative design that has never before been seen on a reel of this price. With its bar stock aluminium construction this reel was the lightest saltwater fly reel that has ever been produced, ensuring it can be balanced to perfection on any of your fly rods. The Wychwood Salt Fly also boasts Wychwood’s patented saltwater drag system. Named the Neptune Torque, this drag system has been built around four carbon plates. This allows you to drag even the most powerful and fast running of fish under control and in to the shore with relative ease. Unleash the power of Neptune with this high torque braking system!

The reel is available in a 6/8 size, which has been specifically designed for the UK’s waters. The Wychwood Salt Fly is perfect for angler who likes to target bass and pollack up and down the UK coastline.
