Description
Why We Love The Orvis Hydros II Euro Reel
The Orvis Hydros II Euro Reel is designed specifically for Euro-nymphing, ensuring that light lines stay put with its full cage and tighter tolerances. This reel is slightly heavier than other Hydros reels, providing the perfect balance for longer Euro-nymphing rods. It features a bombproof, fully sealed Hydros drag system that has zero startup inertia and offers smooth braking, safeguarding delicate tippets from breaking when a fish takes off or drifts with the current.
