Mirage LT Series

There are times when less is more – the new Mirage LT fly reel is everything its big brother is, but designed to balance perfectly with lighter rods and yet still offer legendary Mirage engineering and performance.

Mirage LT reels feature a lighter version of the sealed and maintenance-free carbon and stainless steel disc drag system that adjusts from zero to full drag in a single drag knob rotation. With zero start-up inertia and precise low-end control it eliminates line shock and protects light tippets with the same silky smooth drag, and yet offers more stopping power than you will ever need for trout, bass, pike, musky, or carp.

30% lighter and 30% narrower, the Mirage LT is made in New Hampshire by the same skilled American craftsmen that build the Mirage. The LT offers the same increased retrieve rates, reduction in line coil, and is machined from the same strong, yet lightweight, 6061 T6 aluminum barstock as the Mirage.

Features:

  • Machined from strong, yet lightweight 6061 T6 aluminum barstock
  • Ergonomically designed, machined aluminum handle
  • Quick release spool easily converts from left to right-hand retrieve
  • Type II hard anodizing
  • Titanium shaft reduces weight and adds durable power transmission
  • Fully radiused reel foot prevents kinked leaders
  • Low-profile counterweight won’t catch fingers or fly lines
  • Made in the USA

Colours: Pewter & Blackout

Note: Line and backing shown for illustration purposes only, not included with reel. Mirage LT I is only available in Pewter. All other sizes are available in Pewter or Blackout.

Battenkill Disc Series

Click image to enlarge

The Battenkill disc fly reel, a proven legend of the Orvis reel family, is now ushered into the next decade. We didn’t touch the reliability and workhorse nature—those aspects are not for negotiation. Instead, the team worked to tighten tolerances for even smoother operation and updated key facets of the design like improved hand feel on the drag knob, a curved reelfoot that won’t kink leaders, and new, understated colors that complement the aesthetic of Superfine, Classic Bamboo, or even freshwater Helios® and Recon® rods. Includes the stout Hydros SL drag system, which incorporates six interacting carbon and stainless drag surfaces. Positive click drag is simple and easy to adjust. Each reel is built of 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum with an ergonomic Delrin handle, and changing from left to right hand retrieve is simple. Mid-arbor with a ported design that pays homage to Battenkill reels of old. A true modern classic.

Features:

  • The proven legend, ushered into the next decade
  • Smoother operation from tightened tolerances
  • Kink-free leader storage from a curved reelfoot
  • Includes the stout, simple-to-adjust Hydros SL drag system
