The Redington Crosswater fly reel has been a favorite of fly fisherman, of all abilities, for a long time. As far as value for money goes, this is a LOT of reel for very LITTLE money !!
The Crosswater is constructed from light weight graphite composite material, and is a large arbor design. The drag is built from space-age Rulon.
The low maintenance graphic composite construction makes this reel perfectly suited for both the fresh water and the harsher saltwater environments.
