ORVIS CLEARWATER LARGE ARBOR II REEL : 4-6WT
The Orvis Clearwater Fly Reels may be the best bargain value on the market in this price range. Featuring a powerful, smooth drag system and a new, stronger and lighter frame, the new Orvis Clearwater is tough and attractive, in a lightweigth reel to perfectly balance modern fly rods. Two years in design and development delivers with a powerful inline, Rulon to stainless, stacked disc drag that can hold its own with high-performance machined reels. The New Orvis Clearwater Fly Reel has the great classic look of a fully machined reel, and more importantly, has the guts of a much higher-priced fly reel.
Easily
converted to either left- or right-hand retrieve, the Orvis Clearwater
II Fly Reel has a positive click drag knob for consistent settings every
time. Whether you're looking for your first large arbor, fishing on a
budget, or want a spare reel or two in the bag, the new Orvis Clearwater
Large Arbor II Fly Reel can handle anything a machined reel can and
completely changes the game in die cast reels. A perfect reel to use as a
backup rod or if you are looking for an affordable reel with an
excellent drag system.

The reel is ok for the money. When I took a photo of a fish I submerged it into the river. The ball bearing in the interior became completely rusty. Kudos to Orvis for quickly replacing it for free.

I own two of these and they are bullet proof.

This is a well designed reel. It will stop fish with plenty of drag. Click sounds good. Feels nice in hand. Powder coating is trash.

I have use this reel several times and have not had any issues with it. It offers great value for the money. All the reel the average fly fisherman needs.

Looking for a good reel at an affordable price? Look no further. Not a classic cool like the Battenkill, but it still slays.

If you’re looking for a solid trout reel that’s affordable this is highly recommended. Not a bad looking reel either for the price.

Good Affordable Reel, I will say I was more impressed with others if you are willing to spend the extra $100, however its been a great reel so far. Don't think you can really go wrong with it - I did change out the line to SA

I just bought this reel and fished it once. I have a good impression so far: smooth drag, nice finish good looking. Albeit, I think the Lamson Liquid is a better choice since it is quite a bit lighter

I have had this reel for 2 years and it’s been reliable. I like the drag adjustment and the overall light weight of the reel.
