The new Orvis Hydros Reel is the result of our own desire to make something great, that much better. We took a best-selling reel and removed unnecessary material to further reduce the weight while stiffening the narrow spool, which minimizes line stacking. We changed the drag knob to be more ergonomically accessible and comfortable to use. We further refined the seal on the sealed drag to protect the clutch bearing in the drag mechanism. We radiused the reel foot as on the Mirage for kink-free leader protection. The sealed drag with stacked carbon and stainless steel disc washers is still one of the strongest in the industry, with zero start-up inertia. Matte type II anodized finish, standard large arbor size which balances better with lighter-weight fly rod, and yet still offers excellent retrieval rates and less line coiling than standard arbor reels. Refinement and improvement are the hallmarks of quality. Refined, lighter weight large arbor fly reel Improved fully-sealed drag clutch bearing Radiused reel foot for kink-free leader protection Ergonomically improved, easy to use drag knob Zero start-up inertia Excellent retrieval rates and less line coiling Hydros I for line weights 1-3; 4.7 oz, 3.1" in diameter. Hydros II for line weights 3-5; 5.0 oz, 3.4" in diameter. Hydros III for line weights 5-7; 5.5 oz, 3.7" in diameter. Hydros IV for line weights 7-9; 6.6 oz, 4" in diameter. Hydros V for line weights 9-11; 7.7 oz, 4.25" in diameter.
