The most popular size for trout in the CURRENT Series fly reels, the "5-6" is made for medium-sized fly lines. The large arbor design helps you recover line quickly and gives you plenty of space for backing. The backing capacity is based on standard dacron (5WF plus 125 yards 20#, 6WF plus 100 yards 20#), used with Power Pro "super braid," you can usually get an additional 50% more backing on each spool.

This is a beautifully appointed, double anodized series of large arbor fly reel with lots of positive features that not only make it a great looking reel, but functional as well. The Current features a sealed drag system to keep all the important parts dry and avoid corrosion. The double anodization gives it a unique look that will please even the most discriminating angler. The drag is very powerful, yet subtle. It can be adjusted from the most minimal setting to "stop a truck" mode. Changing spools is as easy as pushing a button and should you need to change the retrieve from right-hand to left-hand, all you have to do is remove a simple clip on the spindle, remove the "one way" bearing clutch, turn it over and reassemble. A unique and positive system, it comes as a single reel with a vented neoprene reel cover that you can use right on the rod. Spare spools are available.
