SPECIFICATIONS MODEL SPOOL WIDTH OVERALL DIAMETER ARBOR DIAMETER WEIGHT CAPACITY Line pick-up per rotation (Arbor Only) Line pick-up per rotation (Fully Loaded) REEL MSRP SLT 7/8/9 1.5″ 4.25″ 2.25″ 10.37 oz. 200 yards 30lb. Dacron with 9wt. Fly line 7″ 10″ $895 TECH The newly designed drag system is powered by a cutting-edge, alternating stainless steel and carbon discs stack, that effectively disperses heat and facilitates ultra-smooth engagement when fighting the world’s most powerful fish. An oversized low-durometer rubber O-ring provides consistency throughout the drag adjustment range, allowing for even resistance with every click of the drag knob. Many competitors’ drag systems inconsistently increase pressure—either too quickly or too slowly. The SLT’s drag is linear with every click, allowing anglers to dial in their settings for the perfect amount of resistance. Additionally, the new drag stack features a high and low-end hard stop, preventing over-tightening and free spooling. CLUTCH The SLT features a re-imagined and incredibly smooth clutch mechanism. Inspired by the tried-and-true clutch that revolutionized the fly reel industry for two decades, the re-imagined clutch seamlessly transitions from the highest drag settings and provides ultimate smoothness when fighting unforgiving fish. All internal componentry has been made larger for easy handling, tighter tolerances, and is made to take higher heat and torque that come with fishing for tarpon, giant trevally, and arapaima among others. FULLY SEATED CARBON DRAG Featuring a fully water- and debris-sealed system, hardcore anglers can rest easy knowing the SLT can withstand days of saltwater, mud, sand, and dirt without fail.

I bought this reel to replace one from the competition that kept failing. No regret. The reel is a dream. I even got to land my first Permit with it. Looking forward to more fly fishing adventures with it.
