Overview
Not a spinning reel, the Sword is a fly reel machined from aerospace grade aluminum, with a mid-arbor spool and an enclosed disc drag. The retrieve converts between left and right hand, and a reel bag is listed.
The mid-arbor spool is described as cutting line memory and speeding line pickup, and the enclosed drag is said to protect light tippet while still stopping stronger fish. The limitation is that the description table mixes several sizes, so confirm the figures for the size you are buying.
Who it's for
Fly rods rated five to six weight, with the retrieve hand chosen by the user. Anglers on other rod weights need the matching size in the line, and saltwater users should look for a listed saltwater rating.
Pros and cons
- Machined aluminum body
- Enclosed disc drag
- Left or right hand retrieve
- Reel bag listed
- Saltwater rating not listed
- Line capacity row is ambiguous
- Gunmetal finish only in this listing
Performance notes
A mid-arbor spool has a larger core than a traditional arbor, so the line lies in wider coils, which reduces memory and picks up line faster per crank. The enclosed disc drag applies friction at the spool, protecting fine tippet on a first run while still able to stop heavier fish. Hard anodizing protects the finish against corrosion.
