SF SF-001 Large Arbor Fly Reel 3 sizes 🎣
Product description
This large arbor fly reel is built for anglers seeking faster line retrieval and reliable drag performance when targeting species such as trout, bass, carp and pike. The matt black 5/6 wt finish reduces glare on bright days and the aluminium-alloy body with anti-corrosion treatment aims to withstand regular freshwater use while keeping weight manageable.
Key Points
The reel features a large arbor design that shortens retrieve time and helps maintain line tension during aggressive runs. The metal main shaft and drag components are made from stainless steel, which the manufacturer describes as offering improved resistance to wear. It includes an audible ticking alarm so you can hear when line is being pulled from the spool, useful for nights or low-visibility situations. The model allows easy conversion between left-hand and right-hand retrieval, and the disc drag system is presented as capable of applying substantial pressure when needed.
Technical Specifications
Name: SF SF-001 Large Arbor Fly Fishing Reel
- Weight class: 5/6 wt (also available in 3/4 wt and 7/8 wt variants)
- Body material: Aluminium-alloy with anti-corrosion surface treatment
- Main shaft and drag parts: Stainless steel
- Finish: Matt black
- Special features: Large arbor, pre-loaded with line, audible ticking alarm
Usage Recommendations
For rivers and stillwaters where quick line pick-up is helpful, this large arbor reel can reduce slack during takes and make playing fish more controlled. The matt black finish helps to avoid spooking wary fish in clear conditions. Consider using the 5/6 wt version for general-purpose trout and bass work, while the 7/8 wt suits heavier lines for larger species such as pike or carp.
Practical Tips
Before first use, check that the drag is properly seated and that the audible alarm is functioning under light tension. If fishing in saltwater-adjacent environments, rinse thoroughly with fresh water after each outing to help limit corrosive buildup, even though the reel has anti-corrosion treatment. Note that, according to the manufacturer, the reel is supplied pre-loaded with line which can be convenient but may not match every angler’s preferred line type or taper.
