The Origin II is our most technically advanced fly reel to date and designing the reel from start to finish in-house (Designed By Reel Fly Fishing Owner, Shaun Carstens) means we have an intricate knowledge of not just how the reel performs but how it will last! The Origin II delivers the latest in design tolerances, size, and functionality and incorporates our beautifully smooth sealed carbon drag system. The DNA heritage of the Origin range of fly rods runs through strongly on the read of the Origin II 3.4.5 fly reel. This helical-inspired design creates a unique style of fly reel that also does away with traditional spool hoops to really showcase our vision. A spool hoop reduces backing drying time and adds unnecessary weight on lighter fly reels. The drag system has been optimized for almost no free spooling as well as remaining exceptionally smooth with zero startup inertia. Tipping the scales at a mere 129g while still housing sealed drag shows just how far we went to the reel light but still extremely strong and durable. The slim side profile was a key functional design we chose as a thinner profile result in less bulk, more balance, and better handling. The thinner profile houses a deep V-shaped spool that can carry ample backing and aids in an exceptionally quick retrieve.
