Shire: Searchwater Fly Reel - 9/11 PEWTER GREEN

9/11  PEWTER / GREEN
Shire Searchwater Fly Reel
Shallow 9/10# Spool*

Modern design with a classical feel make the Shire Searchwater fly reel range the perfect stylish partners for modern lightweight fly rods. Ultra lightness has been achieved by machining the Searchwater reels from T6061 aerospace grade aluminium with extra porting to further reduce weight whilst maintaining integral strength. They are equipped with a smooth large diameter multi-layered enclosed drag system which has a low start up inertia and a monster stopping high drag setting power. Hard anodised in a pewter finish with stainless steel parts the Shire Searchwater is fully saltwater resistant and suitable for saltwater use. Available in three different sizes; 4/6, 7/8, and 9/11, with red, green, or blue drags the Searchwater sets a new benchmark of design, weight, and quality within its price range.

Makers Notes:
 

9/11 – We recommend this reel with its shallower spool for salmon, pike, carp and light saltwater species. It is ideally suited for a 9# line and balanced the 9ft 9# rods we tested it with perfectly. It will also be available with a deeper spool for speylines and full tropical saltwater use soon.

For long term reel care we recommend that the drag dial is set to low resistance when the reel is not in use and after saltwater use the reel is rinsed off in fresh water.
