Buckle up. As we’ve said - the performance benchmark for a fly reel is retrieve rate per ounce. There's no downside to high retrieve rate other than the extra weight. Re-imagine what large arbor means, cast out any doubts about swing weight and try to keep up with the Hyperspeed M8 and M10 reels. Coming in only slightly heavier than their Litespeed counterparts, this radical design maximizes line pick up unlike any reel we have ever dreamed up. The Hyperspeed M8 picks up 14” of line and the M10 retrieves a staggering 16” of line per rotation. Every inch of the frame and spool has been meticulously CNC machined with even material distribution along critical load paths. Ensuring unrivaled strength, stability, and lightness despite its impressive size. So light you might forget it’s there, but commanding enough to demand attention. All of that is backed up by our waterproof IPX8 rated Cobalt drag with plenty of stopping power to put you in the drivers seat. Find a new gear with this reel that's primed to keep pace with even the fastest fish you can find. Manufactured in the U.S.A. and assembled in Boise, Idaho.
