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.

San Miguel Fly Reel

San Miguel Fly Reel

Description

The San Miguel Fly Reel is a stunning reel, skillfully crafted in Ross's Colorado factory. It seamlessly combines modern machining and materials with the timeless elements that made the original reel so iconic.

Retaining its polished high-gloss black finish on a solid-backed frame, this reel also features a liquid-smooth free spool, a wide-range adjustable sealed drag, and the famous "flower petal" porting.

What sets this design apart is the addition of a canvas micarta handle that greatly improves grip, even when wet. The precision sealed drag system consists of a carbon and stainless steel stack-up, delivering both power and smooth resistance.

The reel's large-arbor spool is complemented by a machined stainless steel push-button release that performs as beautifully as it looks.

This reel seamlessly merges classic and modern features, making it a worthy successor to the iconic San Miguel name.

Product Details:

  • The iconic fly reel revamped with a blend of classic and modern features
  • Powerful and smooth carbon/stainless sealed drag system
  • Canvas micarta handle ensures a firm grip, even in rainy conditions
  • Large arbor allows for fast retrieval and reduces line memory
