Redington Crosswater Fly Reels - Black

The Redington Crosswater Fly Reel proves that dependable fly fishing gear doesn't have to come with a premium price tag. Designed for anglers who value simplicity, durability, and performance, the Crosswater combines modern features with a lightweight design that performs across a wide range of freshwater and light saltwater applications.

Newly updated with a fully carbon disc drag system, the Crosswater delivers smoother startup and more consistent fish-fighting performance than previous generations. Whether you're protecting light trout tippet or applying pressure to larger fish, the upgraded drag provides the confidence needed when things get serious.

Built from a durable composite material, the Crosswater keeps overall weight to a minimum, reducing fatigue during long days on the water and making it an excellent choice for travel, hiking, and backcountry fishing adventures. A large arbor design improves line retrieval while reducing line memory, and the oversized notched drag knob allows for quick adjustments in the middle of a fight.

Available in the two most popular fly reel sizes, the Crosswater offers a versatile solution for a wide variety of fisheries. The 4/5/6 model is ideal for trout, panfish, and small bass, while the 7/8/9 model is built to handle larger freshwater species and light saltwater targets, including salmon, striped bass, and redfish.

For anglers looking for a complete, ready-to-fish setup, select models are also available pre-spooled with RIO Mainstream fly lines and Dacron backing.

Simple, capable, and built to fish, the Crosswater continues to be one of the best values in fly fishing.
