With the Loomis & Franklin SD fly reel, the manufacturer presents a truly interesting product. The reel is available in three different sizes #3/5, #5/7, #7/9, thus offering the right reel size for all classic fly-fishing techniques using a fly line. This way, you can choose exactly the right model that best meets your individual expectations and needs as well as your preferred fishing technique.
Fully Sealed Carbon Disc Drag
Thanks to the carbon discs, the SD fly reel drag runs very smoothly and precisely, allowing you to tame even large and powerful fish confidently and efficiently during the fight. When setting the drag force, you can easily use the numbers on the adjustment knob as a guide.
The drag system is fully encapsulated and therefore optimally protected against sand and dirt. As a result, the reel drag works very reliably over time and you can rely on it in any situation.
Large Arbor Spool with V-Shaped Base
The large arbor spool ensures a high line retrieve per crank rotation. At the same time, the large inner diameter of the spool very effectively reduces the annoying memory effect of the line when it is stored on the reel for longer periods.
As can be seen very clearly in the pictures, the reel has a V-shaped spool base in cross-section. On the one hand, this increases the line capacity of this fly reel and, on the other hand, enables much more precise spooling.
Premium CNC Aluminum Construction
The SD fly reel from Loomis & Franklin is made of anodized 6061-T6 aluminum and is CNC-milled from a solid block. The structure of the frame is rigid and very robust, while the anodizing protects it very well against corrosion. The well-thought-out choice of materials and the design make this fly reel extremely light and pleasant to handle.
Of course, it can be quickly and easily converted from right-handed to left-handed operation.
