The Danica Comp 69 Fly Reels have been our No.1 best selling large arbour reels for the past two years. This hasn't happened by chance; the Danica has changed the way that fishermen think of fly reels. The old saying was 'a reel is just there to hold the line' is not true, we know that the Danica Comp 69 Fly Reel has features that actually help the fisherman catch more fish.. . Stores your line on wide coils. This reduces memory, which helps the line perform better, prolonging its life & in turn saving you money. High speed of retrieve means that you can keep up with fish running towards you & avoids the dreaded 'slack line', keeping the hook firmly in the fish's mouth. The Danica Comp 69 Fly Reel is unbelievably light for its size. This is important to maintain a balance with today's lightweight rods & not throw the point of balance. The low start up inertia means that when playing a fish off the reel the Danica will respond more smoothly to sudden bursts than conventional reels. This is vital when using light tippets. Saltwater proof; the Danica Comp 69 Fly Reel will not be affected by the elements. Colour coded spools are available for easy identification, saving you valuable time when changing lines. Comes with free spare spool.
