These reels are machined from aerospace aluminum and are anodized to be near-indestructible, hence the lifetime original owner warranty. The drag system is sealed, which keeps the water and grit out. The stack of 4 huge Rulon and 3 stainless steel drag washers insure that the drag will not burn out or wear out. When you first see the design you may want to hang this fly reel on the wall, but trust us, fish it and you'll never go back.
