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.

Description

Why We Love The Redington Behemoth Series Fly Reel

The Redington Behemoth Series Fly Reel combines durability, affordability, and incredible performance for a heavy-duty reel that won't break the bank. Whether we're battling a massive steelhead, a tough bonefish, or an aggressive rainbow trout, this reel holds up under pressure.

One of the standout features of the Behemoth Series is its exceptionally powerful drag system. With a carbon fiber drag, this reel can handle serious pressure when needed, without compromising on smoothness. So even when we're dealing with aggressive fish that make a run for it, we won't risk snapping our line.

While the Behemoth is primarily designed for big game fish and saltwater fishing, it also offers options for trout applications and salmon/steelhead fishing. With five- and six-weight options available, it's perfect for various fishing scenarios. Additionally, it balances well with longer spey rods for those seeking versatility in their fly fishing pursuits.
