Guideline Halo Fly Reels – Black Stealth
In their price range, the Guideline Halo Fly Reels have class leading qualities in all aspects of material and manufacturing. These large arbour fly reels are CNC-machined of high quality aluminium to ensure a top experience on the water and flawless functionality. All models come with a full frame design/rim cage to stabilise the frame and prevent thin shooting lines from getting caught between frame and spool., a construction that meets the multitude of fly lines in modern fly fishing. The large arbour design of these lightweight fly reels gives a quick retrieve and less coiling of the fly line. The smooth, precise and sealed drag system on the Halo is well proven over years of fishing in all elements. Six reel models sets the range from the most delicate Euro Nymphing via trout and salmon fishing to the craziest tropical battles.
The Guideline Halo Fly Reel is built on a modern disc drag concept with carbon and stainless discs stacked against each other. To optimise performance and design, Guideline have chosen to work with two different sizes and drag strengths for smaller and larger reel sizes. 1.5 kg at bottom of spool on the 3 smallest sizes and 4.0 kg drag on the largest three sizes. This will ensure best possible use of the drag when fighting fish. The retrieve direction on the reels is easy to change and only takes a couple of minutes to perform. The rims on both the spool and the back side have engraved circles to give the reel the Halo effect. All sizes has the same design, except the brake knob. The three larger sizes have a bigger, fully chromed knob, while the three smaller reels have a smaller knob with a blue centre plate.
