Description

“Nobody has ever built a reel specifically for streamer fishing. For years the industry has said “just use whatever reel you’ve got”, which you can; but when you’re hunting THE fish, I want a reel that does exactly what I need it to. That’s why we built this.” - Kelly Galloup Developed in collaboration with renowned streamer angler Kelly Galloup, the Averon Streamer is the industry’s first reel designed specifically for streamer fishing. Built on the proven Averon platform, the Averon Streamer has been re-engineered to deliver the performance attributes that matter most in streamer fishing. Designed for rapid line pickup and minimal line memory, the Averon Streamer features an extra-large arbour that reduce coils and promotes rapid line pickup. To further accelerate retrieval, nearly all incoming resistance has been removed—allowing the reel to spin freely and clear slack line quickly with a slap of the handle or rim. A widened spool rim and increased spool mass enhance rotational momentum and durability, ensuring dependable performance in demanding conditions. Built with the precision and reliability expected of Hardy, the Averon Streamer is crafted for anglers who fish with intent.

Actually Impressed Okay, so my first reaction was "what's wrong with using my Lamson for streamer fishing?" and "what makes a reel a 'streamer reel'?", but I've always appreciated Kelly's "tell it like it is attitude" so I was curious what his reel would be like. I was surprisingly impressed. It's BIG, but I like the pickup and how the line isn't in tight coils creating memory. And despite being big, it's lighter than my Lamson. The free-spooling on the incoming is a great feature. But overall, really impressed with the build quality and the drag. Might get another one for my regular (non-streamer) setup.
