The Bauer RX fly reels are designed to excel in a wide range of fishing environments—from small streams to demanding freshwater and saltwater conditions. With timeless design and precise engineering, the RX series is the perfect companion for all types of rods, whether single-handed or switch/trout spey setups. The RX series stands out for its versatility, reliability, and high-quality craftsmanship, making it ideal for anglers who demand the best from their equipment.
Premium Technology and Materials
The RX reels feature an exceptionally durable, corrosion-resistant housing that performs reliably even under the harshest conditions. The sealed carbon drag system ensures smooth, consistent, and jerk-free braking, making it ideal for safely playing big fish or using light tippets. The drag is protected from dust, sand, and salt, thanks to its dependable sealing. The precisely machined, large drag knob offers excellent grip and allows for precise adjustments—even with wet or slippery hands. The simplicity of the design, the use of larger components, and the corrosion-resistant materials ensure consistent, reliable performance every time you use the reel, guaranteeing long-lasting durability.
Zero Backlash Clutch
This system ensures the spool engages securely without slipping, even under maximum drag pressure. It provides you with full braking power exactly when you need it most. Over-spinning of the spool, often referred to as "freespooling," is effectively prevented. Additionally, this innovative system eliminates start-up inertia entirely. This guarantees a constant, consistent resistance throughout the entire fight—from start to finish. This reduces the risk of losing fish and allows confident fishing even with ultra-light tippets, whether you're targeting fast-swimming saltwater species or battling a trophy trout on a delicate 6X leader.
Design and Functionality
The RX series blends minimalist aesthetics with optimal functionality. The timeless CNC-machined design delivers a perfect balance of stability and lightweight performance. Generous porting on the reel and spool reduces weight and enhances airflow, allowing lines and backing to dry quickly. Each model is tailored to match specific fishing techniques and rod sizes seamlessly.
Models and Applications
- RX1: Perfect for #2–4 rods, ideal for light setups and precise fishing for trout, grayling, and similar species.
