Saltwater fly reel

A saltwater fly reel is a specialized fishing reel designed for catching fish in the ocean or coastal waters. It holds and releases thick, strong fishing line used for fly fishing, allowing anglers to cast lightweight flies over long distances. Made from corrosion-resistant materials like aluminum or stainless steel, it withstands harsh saltwater conditions. The reel features a drag system that controls line release during a fight with a fish. Its durable construction and smooth operation help anglers effectively target large, powerful saltwater species such as tarpon, redfish, or striped bass.
