Cortland's "Sterling" Mid-Arbor reel may be the best value in a fly reel today. And it may be just the reel for you. This features packed beauty starts as a solid billet of 6061T6 aluminum. It's then machined to exacting tolerances and hard anodized for lifetime durability in fresh or salt water. We add a fully enclosed , center mounted Rulon disc drag that will protect 7X tippets or stop a bonefish's sizzling run. An exposed rim lets you palm the counterbalanced , quick release spool for even more control . The knurled bar stock drag knob is slip proof , even with wet, slimy , or cold fingers . Mid-Arbor design gives you maximum line capacity but still has all the benefits of rapid retrieve and reduced line coiling. Available in three sizes.
