Orvis Battenkill Click Fly Reel

by Orvis
$259.95

The Orvis Battenkill is a workhorse of a reel. For those who prefer to stay in touch with the manual roots of fly fishing, this click variant is a modern take on the old school click and pawl reel. Aircraft-grade aluminium brings the Battenkill into the 21st Century, meaning it's ready to fish for as long as you are. 

The Story

Some get it done with a drag system, but some prefer to put a running fish in the palm of their hand—exactly why we’ll always offer click-and-pawl fly reels like the proven legend of the Orvis Battenkill family. Ushered into the next decade with key design improvements, the Battenkill reel offers reliability and a workhorse nature we didn't touch—those aspects are not for negotiation. Instead, the team worked to tighten tolerances for even smoother operation and updated facets of the design like improved hand feel, a curved reelfoot that won’t kink leaders, and new understated colours that complement the aesthetic of Superfine®, Classic Bamboo, or even freshwater Helios™ and Recon® rods. Each reel is built of 6061-T6 aircraft aluminium with an ergonomic Delrin® handle, and changing from left to right-hand retrieve is simple. Standard arbour with a ported design that pays homage to Battenkill reels of old. A true modern classic.
