XLV Custom Fly Reel XLV Nymph, Nymph &Dry, Switch, Lohi, Kust and Mama These are customised versions of the XLV reels to suit certain fishing styles in the best possible way. The NYMPH #4-5 reel is narrow and has an ultra large arbour for quick line retrieve. It has a full body rim preventing thin nymph lines slipping into wrong places and causing jams. The brake has been modified for lighter tippets and is super smooth. It also has a 360-degree adjustment. NYMPH & DRY #5-6 Super narrow and super large arbour reel for modern nymph and dry fly fisherman. Thanks to the large arbour, you can quickly reel in the loose line for fighting the big ones. Weightwise this reel is designed to balance the longer, light line weight rods and it does it perfectly. The drag is made smoothness in mind and the maximum force wasn't the key factor, therefore this is superb reel for thin tippets. Matt black appearance doesn't scare the fish and it looks good on all rods. The SWITCH #8-9 is the perfect choice for modern switch rods. With its capacity it takes basically any switch line, no matter if it is a full line or a shooting head system. The full body rim is there for those who like thin monofilament type running lines and it also adds strength to the reel for the moments when you fight big fish. The weight of the reel is matched to balance the Switch rods of 11' - 12'6" in length perfectly. The LOHI #9-10 reel is a sturdier and heavier addition to XLV family. It'll be the choice for rods longer than 13' and its brake system is capable of handling all anadromous fish species. Thanks to its corrosion proof construction it is a more affordable option for saltwater use too. There is enough capacity for heavy shooting head systems or #10 - 12 SW lines with loads of backing.
