Bauer Fly Reels

BAUER revolutionized the fly reel with the introduction of their unique large arbor reel design in 1995. The award winning innovative design takes advantage of the superior large arbor spool performance with a revolutionary yet simple "zero-backlash" clutch system to engage the cork disc drag. Due to its superior performance advantages, Jon Bauer predicted that everyone would have to produce a large arbor fly reel. Now, several years later, we have many new "large arbor" fly reels on the market.
