I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Why We Love the RX Fly Reel:

Experience firsthand the sleek, durable, and remarkable performance of the Bauer RX Fly Reel. With its recent addition to our lineup, this reel delivers on its promise of excellence.

From small streams to mighty rivers, the RX is capable of handling it all, and can even tame formidable opponents like tarpon with ease.

The standout feature of this reel is its drag system, which boasts a carbon fiber construction that offers incredible stopping power despite its lightweight design. Its contemporary aesthetic is completed with a contrasting hub that perfectly complements the polished, handcrafted frame.

Key Features:

  • Sleek, machined aluminum construction combines style with performance
  • Available in RX1, RX2, RX3, and RX4 for freshwater and light saltwater fishing
  • RX5, RX6, and RX7 designed with stronger seals and a more powerful drag system for tackling larger, stronger fish
