Fly Fishing Reel

 

A quality fly fishing reel needs to do more than hold your line. It needs a smooth, reliable drag, solid construction that holds up to real use, and a weight that balances well with the rod in your hand. We designed our fly fishing reel lineup at San Juan Rodworks from the ground up to deliver all of that, at a price point that doesn't require a second mortgage.

 

About Our Fly Fishing Reels

 

We offer three proprietary reel models: The Chama, The Gila, and The Pecos. Each one is machined from aluminum, fitted with a sealed drag system, and built to perform across a wide range of freshwater conditions. They're lightweight, durable, and designed with clean, no-nonsense aesthetics that look at home on any rod. The Chama and Gila are well-suited for trout fishing in sizes 3 through 6 weight, while the Pecos steps up nicely for larger setups and bigger fish. All three are available with extra spare spools, which makes switching between lines fast and practical. If you fish different types of water, having a spare spool loaded with an alternative line means you're ready without carrying multiple reels.

FAQs

 

Q: What reel size do I need for trout fishing?

Most trout setups pair well with a reel designed for 4 to 6-weight lines. Match the reel's line weight rating to your rod.

 

Q: What is a sealed drag system?

A sealed drag means the internal drag mechanism is protected from water, grit, and debris, which keeps it smooth and consistent over time.

 

Q: Why would I want a spare spool?

A spare spool lets you pre-load a second line type, such as a sinking or nymphing line, so you can swap setups in seconds without swapping reels.
