Fly Reels
Prestige Gold Fly Reels
To complement our class-leading Prestige G-XS fly rods the new Prestige Gold fly reels provide an ultra-lightweight reel option for superb balance on today’s lightweight carbon fl y rods. Precision CNC-machined from solid, high grade aircraft aluminium bar stock. The CNC design programming ensures that the maximum amount of metal is removed, for the lightest weight possible whilst retaining optimum strength and rigidity.
The large arbor design allows faster retrieve, more consistent drag performance and minimal line memory.
Internal parts, such as the main spindle and clutch bearing, are manufactured from stainless steel for corrosion resistance even in salt-water, while the precision one-way roller clutch bearing provides instant drag control when that ‘smash take’ catches you by surprise.
The reels are finished in a beautiful, understated satin gold colour, giving these quality reels a classy look. The hard gold anodised finish provides superb saltwater and chip resistance. The comfortable spool handle and counter weight are machined from aluminium and hard anodised in a contrasting black colour. The counter-weight (left) features another Snowbee innovation – a machined groove, tightly fitted with two small rubber O-rings. This allows you to slide your tippet down between them to hold it securely, while you are walking to the boat or bank. The quick release spool and simple left to right hand conversion, ensures the Prestige Gold reels will provide a long, untroubled fishing life.
This concise new range covers all requirements from the smallest brook fishing up to salmon, sea-trout and saltwater. Complete with a dark red neoprene reel case, these reels offer unmatched performance coupled with real value for money.

Geo-S Salmon & Saltwater Fly Reel
2019 saw the return of our amazing Geo-S fly reels – a range of reels, with which the world’s fly fishers could take on the best that the largest rivers and widest oceans could throw at them… and win!
This 'stacked drag disc' system is similar to that used in our original XS reels made by British Fly Reels all those years ago, in that some discs are 'locked' and some are free to rotate at their own speed. This not only allows for an ultra-smooth start up when a fish takes, with the drag discs all starting at their own speed, but the multi-surface drag provides a class-leading 46.5cm2 of drag surface area! Hard anodised in 'satin silver' for total chip and corrosion resistance.
