The Premier® fly reel exceeds even the most unrealistic expectations of what an entry-level reel should be. Built on our large arbor design and featuring a smooth disc drag, it is the perfect complement to our Premier® rods.

Finding the right fishing partner takes time. A lot can be said for companions that are adept at keeping secrets. The fact they don't mind if you fish all the good holes first is a nice bonus, too. Basically, as long as they can keep from chewing up your Premier® series fly rod, you have a winner. There's no better rod to learn with or just keep tucked in the trunk for unexpected "opportunities" than a Premier. Built from the same SCII graphite as our Imperial™ series, but with more modest components and a smooth, moderate-fast action especially forgiving to beginners. This year we've even added a youth model.
