When you manage to launch a premium fly rod series which is received well by your fellow anglers all across Europe, it is pretty obvious, that you want to do that also with your new fly reel. A premium reel requires a world-class brake, plenty of line capcity, a light but still solid construction and last but definitely not least: a unique design to separate it clearly from all the other reels on the market. Those were Vision's main objectives when they set out to do just that with the novel XO fly reels for season 2018. And Antti Guttorm and his colleagues from Scandinavia did a great job!
XO reels are light large-arbour fly reels with a well tested brake design and super cool outlook. Vision's new premiun product to complement nicely for example the top of the line XO fly rods. 3-4 class reel is implemented with a adjustable click brake for the ultimate lightness, whereas 5/6 and 7/8 have sealed disc brake with stainless steel & carbon discs. All moving parts are greased with SKF's water resistant bearing grease. 7/8 has full body rim for those who like to use thin monofilament runninglines.
