Description
The apex of large-arbor, high-capacity performance reels for your extreme fresh and saltwater pursuits—meet the SDX series. Featuring the largest arbor and fastest line pickup ever engineered for this series, the SDX is built for anglers who demand maximum control, generous backing capacity, and bulletproof reliability. With a recovery rate of 15.5"–17.5" per rotation, this reel ensures you stay connected to the fastest fish in the harshest environments.
This series is purpose-built for the most demanding fly fishing scenarios. Whether you are chasing permit, tarpon, and giant trevally on tropical flats, or standing in the current as a Spey angler swinging flies for steelhead and salmon, the SDX provides the torque and smoothness required to finish the fight. For those heading further out to sea, the drag system and frame architecture are meticulously tuned for tackling big-water predators like tuna, mako sharks, marlin, and sailfish.
Designed to withstand the rigors of the salt and the power of heavy-duty freshwater species, these reels offer a sealed, maintenance-free drag system and a precision-machined frame. Whether you're stalking the mangroves of the Yucatán or running offshore in the Seychelles, the SDX reel is made for the moment when everything runs.
