Guideline Vosso Fly Reel
These are the strongest and most advanced reels in the Guideline family. Vosso combines a striking design with a super strong and stable construction. All models come with a full frame housing to prevent shooting line to get stuck between spool and housing. The carbon/stainless steel drag system is rock solid, totally unaffected by outside conditions such as temperature change, water, moisture or dirt. The system is controlled by a comfortable and slightly recessed, large drag knob with a large field of adjustment for perfect fine tuning of the drag, eliminating the risk of “over-adjusting” in the heat of battle. A recessed reel foot mounted on a super strong truss-bar construction brings the reel close to the rod for reduced torque and better balance. These reels have been manufactured and designed for the most demanding usage; fishing for salmon, trophy trout, sea trout, Steelhead and Tropical species. The line and backing capacity is very generous, and the reel is light weight and extremely strong. #68 model suits single hand rods and lighter switch in #7 & #8. #79 is the natural choice for single- and switch rods in #7 to #9 and double hand in #8/9. #911 is for double hand rods in #8/9 to #10/11. #1113 have capacity for the most demanding tropical fishing after Tarpon and GT and is the reel for double handers in 15-16ft, line weight #10/11 and #11/12.
- Recessed reel foot for optimal balance.
- Tippet holder on the reel underside that keeps loose ends from tangling during transport.
- Waterproof drag system with strong breaking power and sound in both directions.
- Easy to change retrieve, no tools needed.
- Large arbour for rapid retrieve.
- Hard anodizing for a long life with salt water use.
- CND machined of T6061 aluminum barstock.
Guideline Fario LW Fly Reel
These reels carry the strong Truss X-construction features from our Vosso reels, but they have been adapted to suit the slender and gracious looks of the Fario LW reel.The recessed reel foot brings the reel closer to the grip for better balance and less torque when casting. A built-in tippet holder keeps loose mono/fluorocarbon ends in place to avoid tangle. The light, low diameter, waterproof and sealed drag system with a carbon/stainless disc stack generates 1.3 kg drag power for the #24 and #46 model, which is more than enough for any trout fishing. The 68 size will suit the needs of sea trout- migratory trout and single handed salmon anglers who look for a large arbor, light weight and solid reel with more drag power (2 kilo at spool bottom) than the two smaller sizes. It is also a perfect match with our brand new 10’ ULS Hybrid rods in line weight 7 and 8. Together they form an incredibly light and strong unit for either single hand or Ultra Light Switch work. The adjustment range of the brake is 360° and offers settings from just short of free-spooling to a firm smooth drag calibrated to suit the expected types of fishing this reel is aimed at. Trophy sized fish with the most delicate tippets? These reels are your best friend! Featuring a slightly oversized spool diameter, Fario LW offer fast retrieve and generous backing capacity. The reel comes with a protective nylon reel pouch that can also be used when the reel is monted on a fly rod.
Guideline Halo Fly Reel
In it's price range HALO has class leading qualities in all aspects of material and manufacturing. These large arbor fly reels are CNC-machined of high quality aluminium to ensure a top experience on the water and flawless functionality. All models come with a full frame design/rim cage to stabilize the frame and prevent thin shooting lines from getting caught between frame and spool. A construction that meets the multitude of fly lines in modern fly fishing. The large arbor design of these light weight fly reels gives a quick retrieve and less coiling of the fly line. The smooth, precise and sealed drag system on the Halo is well proven over years of fishing in all elements. Six reel models sets the range from the most delicate Euro Nymphing via trout- and salmon fishing to the craziest tropical battles.
DESIGN & DRAG SYSTEM
Halo Fly Reel is built on a modern disc drag concept with carbon and stainless discs stacked against each other. To optimize performance and design, we have chosen to work with two different sizes and drag strengths for smaller and larger reel sizes. 1,5 kg at bottom of spool on the 3 smallest sizes and 4,0 kg drag on the largest three sizes. This will ensure best possible use of the drag when fighting fish. The retrieve direction on the reels is easy to change and only takes a couple of minutes to perform. The rims on both the spool & the back side has engraved circles to give the reel the Halo effect. All sizes has the same design, except the brake knob. The three larger sizes has a bigger, fully chromed knob, while the three smaller reels have a smaller knob with a centre plate in the same colour as the reel.MODELS

Guideline Fario Click is a new member in the Fario fly reel family with a smooth clicker drag and full frame to prevent thin lines from getting stuck between spool and frame. Compared to other brands our model has an adjustable dual-pin clicker system, so you can set the resistance in three different levels. And as the clicker pin legs have different diameters you also get a lighter pressure when you retrieve the line, and a bit harder ´break´ when a fish runs for the horizon. But to be fair there is no actual break in this type of fly reel, the clicker system is more about avoid over-run of the spool. For the lightest fishing they will match our new LPX Tactical rods and LPX Nymph rods perfectly.
