Fly Fishing Reels:

Snowbee Fly Reels:

The Snowbee XS re-defines the concept of the Large Arbor Fly Reel manufactured for Snowbee by British Fly Reels and launched in 2002, the XS is proving to be a World Class Reel, having come top in every review it has been entered for.

The design brief was for a state of the art, Large Arbor Fly Reel, which addressed some of the limitations of similar reels, in terms of line capacity and drag performance. The XS has proved that it can be taken 'frontier fishing' in the harshest saltwater environments with confidence, supported by numerous World-wide catch reports, from Bonefish in the heat of the Florida Keys, to King Salmon in the ice melt conditions of Alaska.

Capable of a total strip down in the field, with a Leatherman type tool, the simplicity of design of the XS sets it apart from its peers.

The XS is a reel of classic elegance, generous line and backing capacity and a drag system combining traditional design features, with hi-tech materials and manufacture.

Machined from solid Bar Stock Aerospace grade Aluminium, with all stainless steel internal parts, these reels are built to last and are equally at home in Saltwater, or on the local reservoir.
