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 9/10/11 1.15″ 4.65″ 2.7″ 10.77 oz. 200 yards 30lb. Dacron with 11wt. Fly line 8″ 12″ $995 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.

Field Notes

Use this fly reel with a compatible fly rod for targeting large, hard-fighting fish (e.g., tarpon/GT). Set the drag using the click-by-click linear drag system to match the fish’s run and current conditions.

Needed to add a 9 wt to my saltwater arsenal. All other rods are Air 2's. I did not think I would notice a difference, but the Max seemed to have more power and cast quite smoothly, fitting my casting style perfectly, especially with a line that really makes the rod work (went up one line wt.).

Had a chancer to test the 9/10/11 SLT this week on a giant trevally at Christmas Island paired with the new Air 2 Max 1090 - what a great combination. I was able to stop a 25 lb giant trevally from escaping off the reef flat at Korean Wreck du to the great drag system, super smooth performance of the SLT reel, and the power of the Air 2 Max 10 weight. A brilliant combination!
