The new Seigner fly reel is one of the coolest new products in fly fishing.

You don’t see a lot that’s really new in fly reels. Yes, you see reels getting lighter or cooler looking but it isn’t often something comes along that’s actually different. This reel is.

You might know the name Seigler if you are into blue-water gear fishing. They have made heavy-duty gear reels for years. It turns out that Wes Seigler is an avid fly angler and he decided to make a fly reel that solves some problems he found in fish fighting.

Among the cool features you’ll find in this reel are a lever action drag, which allows you to quickly and accurately adjust your drag within establish safe parameters while fighting a fish, and an asymmetrical spool that stacks your backing for you. Best of all, there’s a solid possibility that you could get one for free.
