Orvis' Vortex Fly Fishing Reel has more fish stopping drag surface than any fly reel made. The Vortex VO2 fly reel is designed, inside and out, to be the most reliable big fish reel on the market. The VO2 fly reel performance advantages arise from the placement of drag surfaces on the reel's outside radius, maximizing surface area. The VO2 fly reel has a huge composite Cork-to-Rulon drag surface which enables it to dissipate the heat generated by a hard-running fish more so than any other drag system. Hot materials expand and change your drag tension just at the time when you need consistency the most. With the VO2 fly reel in hand, your drag setting will remain consistent throughout the battle. And a larger drag surface ensures consistent fly reel performance over a wide range of settings. Each indexed stop increases or decreases drag pressure in predictable and precise increments. When it comes to landing the fish of a lifetime, you can make no better choice than the Orvis Vortex VO2 fly fishing reel.
