Orvis Hydros Large Arbor Reels

There is not another true large arbor, big-game fly-fishing reel out there that carries this drag system performance at a price starting at just $210. It's unheard of until now. The new Hydros® Reel Series features a sealed drag surface that increases total drag surface by model: The larger the reel, the larger the drag surface and the more resistance available to handle larger fish. Using stacked carbon washers, controlled by a positive click adjustment system, the Hydros can be fine-tuned to handle any fish from a trout to a tuna with sustained and infinitely durable drag pressure.

HYDROS I-II have a two carbon washer drag system

HYDROS III-V have a four carbon washer drag system

HYDROS VI has a six carbon washer drag system (definitely the strongest drag system in its class)
