Crystal River Cahill Rim Fly Reel

Crystal River Cahill Rim Fly Reel — a simple, honest fly reel for light line weights.

A lightweight graphite body and frame keep the reel from unbalancing a light rod, and the exposed rim lets you palm the spool to add drag by hand when a fish runs — the way trout anglers have done it for a century.

Covers 3, 4 and 5 weight lines: small streams, stocked ponds and general trout work.

A sensible first fly reel, or a second reel to keep a different line on.
