Guideline Aeon Fly Reel Black & Gold

Meet the Guideline AEON, a fly reel where timeless design meets modern innovation. The name 'AEON' is derived from the Greek word "aion," meaning 'eternity.' Designed by Guideline and the team led by Leif Stavmo, this fly reel is built to accompany you faithfully on your future adventures and never let you down. Its uncompromising reliability is ensured by a high-performance, sealed carbon drag system with an impressive braking force of 7.5 kg – enough power to take on even the largest Atlantic salmon in fast currents. The AEON combines beauty, durability, and functionality, making it the perfect choice for style-conscious fly fishers who value both aesthetics and performance.

Timeless Scandinavian Design – The AEON

With its Fibonacci-inspired pattern of fine micro-perforations, organic curves, and a fluted frame, the AEON’s front face exudes timeless elegance. The back features a luxurious finish with contrasts between matte and glossy surfaces and dual-anodized colors on the drag knob. This harmonious blend of form and function gives the reel a distinctive, high-end Scandinavian design language.

Power and Precision – The Drag System

The sealed carbon drag system of the AEON delivers an impressive 7.5 kg of braking power. This ensures you are well-equipped to handle even the strongest fish with confidence. The innovative wing-shaped design of the spool nut and drag knob minimizes the risk of line snags during intense fights.

Tradition Meets Modernity

The AEON by Guideline combines the weight of a classic full-frame design with modern functionality. This makes it an ideal choice for traditional salmon rods, while also perfectly complementing modern two-handed rods. Its precisely tuned acoustics mimic the characteristic click of a traditional reel, offering a unique auditory experience – a sound that immediately stole our hearts!

Practical Features of the AEON:

• The engraved line capacity on the underside of the reel foot helps you keep track of the ideal amount of backing and line.
• Each reel comes with a premium neoprene protective case, accented with elegant leather details and brass or chrome highlights.
• The reel is set up for left-hand retrieve by default but can be easily converted to right-hand retrieve.
