Hero Fly Reel

Be a Hero and fish with a hero. All Hero reels are semi machined reels with CNC machined die cast frame & spool. The disc brake system consists total of five discs from carbon and stainless steel.

Smaller reels (35 to 79) have easy and quick screw release whereas on the Salmon Hero 911 it has waterproof and secure pop out system. 

NYMPH & DRY 35 This Hero is ideal reel for rods #3 – #5 when using standard WF or special nymphing lines. It has a large arbor for quick line retrieving and its narrow spool spools the line nicely. The full body rim prevents the thin nymphing lines slipping into wrong places. This reel balances the longer rods perfectly.

46 and 79 These standard Heroes are real all-round reels for all type of fishing. 46 handles traditional river and lighter stillwater fishing with ease. It accommodates WF6F fly line with enough backing and its weight is matched to balance same weight rods. 79 is a bigger brother handling everything from heavier river fishing to a predator and lighter saltwater fishing.

SALMON 911 This reel has a similar look to the smaller ones, but it has eaten a different brake system. As this reel will face bigger fish and harsher conditions, it features more powerful and waterproof brake system. The brake itself consists again of carbon and stainless steel, giving us a smooth, reliable, and powerful brake. Everything is sealed behind O-rings to keep the water and dirt out. The frame has a full body rim so you can use thin running lines without fear of unwanted jams. The reel’s capacity is big enough for heavy Hybrid lines so you can rig this with any double hander.

7/9 Cassette is ideal for enthusiastic stillwater angler who needs several different density fly lines. The reel comes with total of 3 cassettes and a handy zipper closure fabric pouch. Clear cassettes have a flat surface for your flyline’s indicator sticker or you can write the flyline type there with a permanent marker pen. The cassette locking is the same trusty ring mechanism which can be found from our XLV Stillmaniac reel so it is very easy and quick to use, just loosen the ring one turn and you can pull the cassette out. No need to remove the ring fully. Otherwise the reel is the same as the Hero 79, so the capacity, size and brake system are well tested over the years.
