Spey Reels

Balance your two-handed setup with fly reels designed for Spey, switch, and trout Spey fishing. Explore reels with the capacity, weight, durability, and drag performance needed to carry shooting heads, running lines, backing, and complete Spey line systems.

➤ Choose the Right Spey Reel

The right Spey reel depends on your rod length and weight, fly-line system, target species, and the amount of backing you need. A properly sized reel should hold your line comfortably while helping balance the longer handle and overall length of a two-handed rod.

Consider reel weight, line capacity, arbor size, drag system, and corrosion resistance. Larger reels can provide additional capacity for shooting heads and running lines, while dependable drag performance is important when fishing for steelhead, salmon, and other powerful fish.
