Daiwa Wilderness Fly Reel

If you’re looking for a high performance fly fishing reel that won’t break the bank then you need look no further. The Wilderness Fly from Daiwa is a reel that offers you all the kinds of technological advantages you have grown to expect, if not demand, from Daiwa. Built to the highest Japanese standards, the Daiwa Wilderness Fly is constructed from aluminium alloy that has been precision diecast using computer technology. This ensures that the reel is exceptionally strong and doesn’t feature any of the tell-tale weak points you get when a reel has been machined in other ways. The whole body of the reel has been anondised which ensures that the reel is exceptionally hardwearing and can withstand the most aggressive and repetitive use.

The Wilderness Fly features a 13 point ratchet drag, ensuring that you can crank up the drag when you need it the most. This helps you land fish more consistently, ensuring your drag performance is smooth and powerful. The spool on the reel is in a classic large arbour design. Not only does this allow you to load up this reel with a considerable amount of line – giving you a huge reach into the water – but it also enables you to pull in an equally considerable amount of line on the retrieve, too. The spool operates on a quick release system, too, allowing you to change spools easily for maximum bankside versatility.

The Daiwa Wilderness Fly might look the part of a traditional fly reel but it performs like a modern fly fishing machine! Available in 5/7 and 7/9 sizes, this reel can cope with most of the fly fishing scenarios you’ll encounter whilst travelling up and down the UK for the best fly waters. At such a fantastic price you’ll want to give this reel a go to see exactly how it could revamp your fly fishing.
