Snowbee XS Large Arbor Fly Reel Description

Snowbee XS Large Arbor Fly Reel

The XS is a reel of classic elegance, generous line and backing capacity and a drag system combining traditional design features, with hi-tech materials and manufacture.

The Centre Disc Drag system, eclipses anything on the market.

It incorporates three polished Stainless Steel Drag discs, with "Broflon" Drag washers sandwiched between. This state of the art substance is a Bronze and Teflon composite material, combining an ultra low coefficient of friction with superb wear characteristics and resistance to the kind of temperatures that would destroy most cork or PTFE Drag systems.

The use of free moving drag washers, rather than the usual laminated Drag discs, creates 4 bearing surfaces, doubling the drag surface area to a class leading 22.6cm². The result is almost zero start-up inertia and a silky smooth drag, finely adjustable from zero to "Tarpon stopping", by means of the detented drag control, on the rear face.

"Back for more goodies from WadersOn and the service remains fast, courteous and knowledgable. Why can't everybody make it this simple?"
Ian Holden
"I bought some Snowbee waders recently; having done an online survey of several suppliers, Waderson proved to be best value I emailed a question about wader size and this was promptly answered. I placed the order and the waders arrived in good time, in good condition. No problems at all."
David Hawke
"I'm new to flyfishing and I'll be ordering all my new fly gear from waderson.com. The service is first class as they keep you informed about your purchases every step of the way. Tight lines"
