Ace Reel

Ace Reel

We’ve upped the ante in the all-around reel game with the new Ace reel, because when it comes to fishing, why gamble on success? We’ve taken our learnings from past reels and doubled down with improvements across the table. With no limits on what our reel design should be or look like, the Ace features an ultra-durable, first-of-its-kind lattice patterned spool design meaning increased strength, durability, and line breathability. Combine that with a rigid frame, plus an improved drag braking system leading you all to one thing. Confidence. Because, when you go all in, you should do it with the best hand.

"Reel is very clean and feels well crafted. Can’t wait to fish it and put a nice red or spec on it."

— Dominic (5/5)

Solid Reels

"Using this as a back up Permit/Bonefish reel. Had to switch to it after the handle became loose on my Sage. It holds plenty of backing and is smooth. The drag handles a 3 lb Bone with ease."

— Craig M. (4/5)

Great reel, bought 4 different sizes

"Great reel worth twice the price! Superior to my Ross snd Orvis reels!"

— Chris D. (5/5)

Very nice reel

"This a very nice a reel and feels like a big upgrade to the Rise III I never had a problem with the Rise III and always thought they were the best bang for the buck. But the ACE feels more substantial and higher quality and just as light. I have not had a chance to put the drag to real test ( no hogs yet) but have had no issues fishing with the ACE. Very nice and light high quality reel for the price. The only issue is that if you are putting 6wt Gold fly line on it you are only going to want to put 60 yards of backing on it and about the same for 5wt Gold. I wish all manufacturers would put the correct amount of backing you can have on the reel with 5wt and 6wt fly line with a 1X leader on the line and not have an issue with getting the leader caught in the reel!!! I know 1X is big but that should be the standard so you know you won't have issues with 3X."

— Megan (5/5)

Outstanding value reel

"ACE series reels have a sealed drag which is very smooth and easily adjustable. It would be hard to find a better reel in terms of quality and performance vs. price. As moderate priced reels, they are an outstanding value."
