Completely new large arbor series built off the wildly popular Battenkill Mid Arbor design, and machined from 6061 aircraft barstock. The best-value, high-performance large arbor reel anywhere. Your reel of choice for any hard-fighting gamefish—from bones and reds on the flats, snook under the lights, and stripers in the surf to steelhead and salmon in the harshest freshwater conditions. Plus, with backing capacities to handle any spey-fishing situation. Smooth, strong, proven drag and fast retrieve rates help control and land big fish more quickly and effectively.

The CFO fly fishing reel has been the choice of technical fly fisherman since 1971. Reengineered to be lighter, smoother, and tougher. Although this fly fishing reel is machined using the most modern of materials and state-of-the-art machining technology, the CFO® disc drag fly reel is a reverent nod to fly fishing tradition. The reel’s signature look and sound are synonymous for thousands of fly fisherman with great moments on the water. It matches as perfectly in spirit, looks and performance with Orvis Superfine® or bamboo fly rods as it does with our high-tech Zero-Gravity® fly rods. CFO I Reel - Line weights 1-3. 3¼ oz. 2¾" diameter. CFO II Reel - Line weights 2-4. 3¾ oz. 2 7/8" diameter.
