Snowbee XS SALTWATER FLY REEL
Twenty years ago, we launched the original XS Fly Reels; our first CNC machined fly reel, manufactured to our design, by British Fly Reels (BFR) in Falmouth, UK. These ground-breaking reels, won every “Best new Fly Reel” review, two years running. We felt the time was right to resurrect the “XS” name, for a new, top of the range fly reel, so here they are!
These new reels started with a simple design concept and resulted in the polished new product of today which moves us into a different league, in terms of technology & performance.
The design brief was for a range of reels, with which the world’s fly fishers could take on the best that the largest rivers & widest oceans could throw at them….and win!
These sensational looking reels feature a precision milled CNC body & spool to reduce weight to the absolute minimum, whilst retaining massive strength. The powerful, multi-disc drag system, incorporates a combination of stainless steel, composite & carbon fibre discs, which delivers a silky-smooth drag performance, with near zero start-up inertia. This has taken the hugely effective design and performance of those original XS reels made at BFR, to new levels, by using modern materials and with a modern finish to match, with added weight saving & performance. A fine-pitch, detented drag adjustment allows constant minute increases in drag pressure as required, from zero, to the max with infinite control, plus the whole drag assembly is then completely sealed for saltwater use and protection, by means of silicone O-rings.
