The CLA has set a new standard for affordable, hybrid large arbor fly reels. This series incorporates a superior drag mechanism that is extraordinarily smooth, heat resistant and provides incredible stopping power. While the CLA is offered at an incredible price, no design features have been overlooked. Each reel in this series is designed with a specific diameter and width to maximize the properties of drag consistency and line retrieval. The CLA has become our dealers' "Go To" reel for anglers that demand an American made, high quality, reasonably priced fly reel.

CLA 4-7 (Larger Components for Bigger Fish!)
The mechanical design of the CLA is consistent throughout the series, but improvements have been made to the CLA sizes 4-7 to support their use when battling bigger fish. When comparing the CLA 4-7 reels to the smaller sized CLA reels, you will find that they have a larger drag knob, handle and spool cap, but most importantly, they have a STRONGER DRAG SYSTEM. To ensure smooth performance with fast-running fish, these larger four sizes have also been equipped with oil-impregnated bushings for spool rotation. The frame and spool have also been reinforced to eliminate flexing. With a wide range of sizes available, the CLA series is appropriate for any fishing application, including Spey.
