The Series 1 fly reel from Taylor Fly Fishing is the successors to the original TYPE1 and T1. Due to the constant testing of the products by their own employees, a new reel series always means a development or an improvement of the reel. Compared to its predecessors, among other things, the Series 1 has a better, 100% sealed brake system and a larger diameter. Nymph friends pay attention: The Taylor Series 1 in size #4-6 has a spool diameter of 95 mm. This means not only a fast line pick-up, but also that the mono lines used in Euronymphing do not curl so quickly!
The carbon fibre brake system of the fly reel is 100% sealed and waterproof. Therefore, this reel can also be used in saltwater. The brake adjusts buttery smooth at 2,5 turns, so you can quickly adjust to the fish on the other end of the line. And the #7-9 reel has a diameter of 106 mm. That's especially helpful when the bonefish is swimming towards you and the line needs to get on the reel ASAP!
The two-tone anodized 6061 T6 aluminium reel design gets a finish of an anodized coating. Anodizing is the process of strengthening the oxide layers on metals. Therefore, the reel can withstand even small impacts without having noticeable marks. In addition, this finish provides the reel with a very appealing appearance.
In short: The Taylor Series 1 fly reel is suitable for everything from trout fishing with a nymph, to sea trout fishing on the coast, to hunting tropical predators. It has a large spool diameter for fast line pickups. Further, its large diameter minimizes line memory, which increases the durability of your fly line. Salt and fresh water are no problem for the 100% sealed carbon fibre brake system! The reel's cool design is complemented by great colours and a durable surface reinforcement. Whether for nymphing or targeting strong-fighting fish that require a fast line retrieve: This Taylor reel is a great choice due to its stylish design and outstanding performance!
