SPARE SPOOL ONLY!!!! Does not fit previous models
SPEY ReelsSpey-Specific. Perfectly Balanced. Built for Anadromous Power.
Designed from the ground up for modern two-handed fishing, our SPEY Reels represent the culmination of 40 years of Spey innovation, field testing, and obsession. From steelhead and salmon to new swung-fly fisheries around the world, weve watched Spey evolve in real timeand weve helped drive it.
Over decades of designing and fishing two-handed systems, weve learned one thing clearly: Spey reels demand a different standard. Bigger lines. Longer rods. Harder-running fish. More torque. More wear. More need for balance, control, and bulletproof reliability.
Thats exactly what the SPEY Reel delivers.
Sealed Carbon Drag + Dual Clicker Control (SCS System)
At the heart of every SPEY Reel is a redesigned version of our trusted Sealed Carbon System (SCS) Drag, now upgraded with two major evolutions:
1) Newly Formulated O-Ring Seals
Our proprietary O-rings are engineered to withstand greater compression, creating a stronger seal while resisting fatigue and wear over time. The result is a drag system built to handle harsh weather, heavy use, and long seasons chasing anadromous fish.
2) Custom Dual-Clicker System
We redesigned the clicker system and added a second clicker, resulting in:
-
Increased durability
-
Stronger, more satisfying resonance
-
Better amplification
-
Reduced free-spool rotation
That last point matters: less unwanted spool rotation means you keep more effective fishing distance, especially when wading, swinging, and stripping line between casts.
One-Revolution Drag Knob (Precision Adjustments)
The SPEY Reel features a one-revolution drag knob with:
-
20 numbered drag settings
-
Half-detents for fine tuning
-
Consistent, repeatable drag you can return to again and again
Spey-Tuned Frame + Spool Design (Balance + Line Management)
Spey rods are long. Spey lines are thick. Spey casting systems demand balance.
So we gave the frame system equal attentionnot as an afterthought, but as a core performance feature.
Fine-Tuned Weight & Rod Balance
The SPEY Reel is ported strategically (or intentionally not ported) to create the correct overall mass for long two-handed rods.
We also repositioned the reel foot away from exact center to better align with the reels true center of mass, producing a more uniform axial balance when mounted on a Spey rod.
Full-Frame Design for Shooting Line Security
A full-frame build eliminates the risk of thin running line slipping between spool and framea major advantage when fishing:
-
Skagit systems
-
Long shooting heads
-
Thin-diameter running lines
Radiused Reel Foot for Leader Protection
We machined a smooth radius around the reel foot for comfortable wrapping and to prevent:
-
Kinks
-
Memory
-
Damage to leader, tip, or tippet
Easy Retrieve Conversion
Retrieve direction changes quickly with a simple flip of the clutch bearingno hassle, no complicated teardown.
Wide Palming Rim
A wide palming rim adds another layer of control when the fish decides to go full freight train.
