Description

SPECIALIZED TROUT REELS FOR A VARIETY OF TECHNIQUES. RVR 2/3 Small streams and spring creeks are the ideal waters for 2 and 3wt fishing. You’re not likely to ever need 70 yards of backing here, or a drag capable of stopping a steelhead. What you will need is a lightweight reel designed with the smaller capacity and perfect drag for those very special angling situations. RVR 4/5 The line and backing capacity, drag and weight of this reel have been appropriately designed for the more sizeable trout, larger water, longer casts and more varied techniques associated with 4 and 5wt rods. Whether you’re fishing a floating line or a light sink tip, whether fishing dries or wets, this is the ideal reel. RVR 6/7 A larger reel for the heavier line weights used when targeting trophy fish with large, wind-resistant or heavy flies. The increased backing capacity is more than sufficient to handle even the longest running trout. Intended applications are streamer fishing with floating or sink-tip lines, stillwater angling with floating, intermediate and full-sinking lines, as well as handling the aggressively-tapered lines needed to turn over large dry flies, poppers, articulated streamers, and double nymph rigs.

Everything about the Bauer RVR reel is top notch. What a wonderful, smooth, awesome looking reel! The craftsmanship and functionality are fantastic. I've had a number of fishing buddies comment on my great-looking reel and ask me about it. Why have a reel that lots of fisherman have, when you can have a reel the checks literally all the boxes and give the satisfaction of being somewhat unique? Highly recommended!

While I already have more beautiful reels than I need, I couldn't pass this one up. Not only is it gorgeous, it balances perfectly with my 7wt Air Max. If you like fine instruments, this is for you.

The Bauer RVR is a modern marvel! Absolutely no start up inertia for the finest tippets and a drag system that's hot butter smooth! All that in a package that's the most attractive reel on the planet! I Love It!
