Islander IR Series Fly Fishing Reels

Like other Islander reels, the popular IR Series series has been engineered to last a lifetime. Crafted with the same precision and attention to detail as other Islanders, the IR series sets the standard for purist click and pawl reels. Ultra-smooth incoming and outgoing action is the result of refined engineering - an integrated relationship between spring, pawl and gear. The frame, foot, spool and other components are manufactured from 6000 series billet aluminum bar stock, using computer controlled machines.

A frame side, five level drag adjustment provides a wide range of drag pressure. The spool rides on oilite bearings and is precision fit to the spindle which translates into smooth action and zero endplay. The series’ simple design also makes switching between left and right hand retrieve as easy as a quick flip of the pawls - no tools required.

       Features

• Smooth, no play action
• Simple clicker drag system
• Wide range of drag pressure with 5 settings
• One-piece spool and frame construction
• Quick release spool
• Easily converted from right to left-hand retrieve
• Contoured palming rim
