COTW: Opti Reel

A large arbour icon, reimagined in three bold, nature-inspired finishes.

The latest chapter in our storied Opti series blends wild expression with the signature precision and performance that you’ve come to expect from the standard-bearer in modern fly reel design.

Beneath its striking exterior lies the proven performance of the Opti series. The iconic large arbor V-shaped spool offers rapid retrieval, reduced line memory, and smooth handling in any water. The fully waterproof Power Matrix Drag System, sealed with marine-grade components and carbon discs, delivers smooth, powerful resistance with virtually no start-up inertia.

Available in three unique colour schemes and five sizes, the Colours of the Wild Opti is more than just a reel - it’s a statement on the water.

The Dryfly is a prefect tool for river and stillwater trout fishing. It is light, balanced, and precise, with a large arbour design that helps you stay in control.

In the early ’80s, we redefined fly reel design with the world’s first large-arbour concept. The Opti is the direct descendant of that breakthrough - an industry-shaping original refined through decades of innovation.
