Orvis Mirage LT Fly Reel Tom Rosenbauer Insider Review

The new Orvis Hydros Reel is the result of their own desire to make something great, that much better. They took a best-selling reel and removed unnecessary material to further reduce the weight while stiffening the narrow spool, which minimizes line stacking. They changed the drag knob to be more ergonomically accessible and comfortable to use. They further refined the seal on the sealed drag to protect the clutch bearing in the drag mechanism.
