    ORVIS BATTENKILL III FLY REEL : 5-7WT

     The Orvis Battenkill III Reel pairs a simple classic design with a click and pawl internal drag system to keep anglers in direct contact with the end of their lines. The Orvis Battenkill III provides the quality of construction to let you give line when you need and hit the brakes at just the right moment. The Orvis Battenkill Fly Reel has been in the fly fishing industry for generations. Orvis has updated the new Battenkill to feature a new 4 position internal click and pawl drag system and increased the spool size. Simple design and flawless construction make this the perfect click-and-pawl fly reel for nearly any freshwater fishing situation. A minimalist's dream, the all-new Battenkill features a classically styled, yet technically enhanced, four-position click-and-pawl drag system that is adjusted internally and is designed to work in tandem with the palm of your hand on those sizzling, screaming runs.

    Constructed with a narrow spool for less line stacking on retrieve and a larger spool diameter for higher line retrieval rates. The ultra-lightweight fly reel design balances perfectly on shorter rods. Machined from heavy-duty bar-stock aluminum for added durability. Easily adjustable left- or right-hand retrieve. Highlighted by laser-engraved logos and a cool black nickel color.

     FEATURES:

    • 4 Position Internal Click and Pawl Drag System
    • Larger Spool Diameter
    • Constructed of Machined Bar-Stock Aluminum
    • Battenkill III for line weights 5-7, 3.2 oz., 3 1/4" diameter

    Great reel for the money. Well made. Very smooth action. Can't wait to try it out on some large trout at Vermejo Park Ranch.

    This was the reel I bought for my first fly fishing outfit, which has travelled with me from Alaska to Patagonia. The Battenkill reel has held up to large trout in Wyoming and is small and light enough to bring backpacking into the Yellowstone backcountry. A great, well balanced, and good looking reel!

    I love click pawl reels and have been wanting to try the battenkill and I'm glad I did. It worked out great with a glass rod I just got and I can't wait to put a big fish o it that takes some line. I think these are my new favorite over the medalist reels!

    I wanted something reliable and small for my 4wt glass rod. This reel is a perfect match. Stores plenty of backing with DT4 line and looks great doing it!

    Fishing for trout a reel is really just a line holder. This reel looks great and balances nicely on modern rods. If you need a little more drag simply palm the reel. This reel has worked well for fighting 20+ inch cutthroat in BC and 20+ inch brown trout in NZ, i'm not sure why you would need anything more for trout fishing.

    This reel is a really excellent value, and I really like it a lot. I bought it a few years ago as a starter reel, and it works really well for that. I first used it on my 5-weight rod, my first decent rod too. Now I use this for my 3-weight for smaller streams. Where I fish, the small streams usually hold fish that don't get too large, but we do sometimes have really big fish. And our natives fight hard. I once landed a huge cutthroat on this reel that was so strong, I could barely keep it in the net. It's a click reel, so you have to palm it for better drag, but that just makes it even more fun. The machining is great. It's got nice, tight tolerances and a finish that looks like it should cost twice as much as it actually does.
