During the development stage of the now highly acclaimed BVK series of rods, TFO quickly realized the need for a series of reels to complement the rod's standards in terms of performance, light-weight, quality and affordability. Temple Fork Outfitters is pleased to introduce the new BVK super large arbor reels.
BVK reels are precision machined from bar stock aluminum. The clear silver anodized frames and spools are ported to eliminate excess weight. Equally at home in both fresh and salt waters the super large arbor design provides faster line pick up and helps the maintenance free drag system work at a more constant pressure that standard arbor reels. Delrin/Stainless stacked discs make the drag silky smooth and the one way clutch bearing makes engagement instant and left to right hand conversion simple.
Their are three models available.
The BVK SLA I has a spool diameter of 3.3-inches, weighs 4.6-ounces, and matches well with a WF4F fly line and 75-yards of backing. MSRP is set at $230, spare spools will retail for $130.
The BVK SLA II has a spool diameter of 3.75-inches, weighs 4.9-ounces, and matches well with a WF6F fly line and 200 yards of backing. It has a MSRP of $240, and $150 for a spare spool.
The BVK SLA III has a spool diameter of 4.1-inches, weighs 5.2-ounces, and matches well with a WF8F fly line and 205 yards of backing. The reel retails for $250, and $160 for spare spools.
