Alfa Arctic Reel Lava Red

The name says it all. ARCTIC- pure, clean, art like design lines with a state of the art drag system. Utilizing the most advanced materials available Alfa’s designers and engineers have created a beautiful beast. Northern nature and art has been a driving force for this outstanding look. It is not only a cool looking design that matters, it is equally important what is inside. Alfa’s team created a unique modern drag system to provide maximum drag power with a ultra-smooth starting friction.

Arctic fly reels utilize multi-disk carbon drag systems because Alfa recognizes it is the most efficient material for dissipating extreme heat without wear. Unlike alternative drag components such as cork, plastic or polymers carbon does not compress, deteriorate, melt, or burn. It allows Alfa to create compact drag systems that are high performance, stable, durable, and repeatable. The Arctic fly reels provide an extreme drag power of 17.5 kg / 38 lb on a size #5 and 7 fly reel.

Arctic reels features full frame design, so no line can escape from spool during the fishing. This is key features when fishing with modern, small diameter backing lines like the Alfa Gel-Spun. Also equally important with Euro nymphing whereby long leaders are used.

The unique drag knob is one of the key features. This drag knob follows the natural grip of the finger and gives you better feeling for easy turning of the drag knob. Arctic reels also feature a unique, no tools needed, retrieve change from left to right.

You can mount on size #5 reel also a size 7 spool and vice versa, this cool feature is also possible for the sizes #9 and 11.
