Designed to put the
brakes on runaway
fish.
Like all Scientific Angler™
products, each
System™ reel has been specifically designed to fulfill a specific
purpose.
System™
2 reels are the most copied reel design in history. Built to hold
up under the harshest fishing conditions in the most corrosive
saltwater environments, they set the standard for how serious anglers
measure pure fish-stopping power.
System™
2L reels were designed to bring those same System™ 2 advantages to
a smaller reel for smaller game, making them among the best trout reels
for the money. And
System™
1
reels offer a simple but effective click drag at an incredible value.
It's easy to find flashier reels – and you'll pay for it. But you will
not find a fly reel that outperforms a System™ reel when the going gets
tough and you need a reel you can trust. Now that's value.
Light vs.
Slight.
Before you buy a lightweight
reel, make sure
that the manufacturer didn't exchange durability for less weight. When
looking for reliability, consider the following:
- Some light reels flex excessively,
causing spool rubbing
and shorter reel life.
- Thin spool rims and frames are easily
damaged and usually
not repairable.
- Click drags are fine for small trout and
panfish, but if
you plan to pursue larger trout, steelhead, or bonefish, a disc drag is
essential.
- System™ 2 and 2L reels feature a durable,
high-performance
caliper/disc drag.
