Orvis RATIO Fly Reels in Gold - New for 2026!
STOPPING POWER MEETS PRECISION
Own the fight with unmatched control and the strength to stop anything in its tracks.
The Ratio Reel is your go-to when big fish enter the ring, and the winner takes all. The carbon-stainless drag system has precision-engineered surfaces that deliver up to 16 pounds of smooth, consistent pressure with zero startup inertia. In the heat of battle, the oversized indexed drag knob lets you make micro-adjustments without fumbling. Built to withstand brutal saltwater abuse, the Ratio’s drag system is fully sealed to keep out salt and sand.
