Orvis Battenkill Click Reel I Bronze

The proven legend, ushered into the next decade Smoother operation from tightened tolerances Kink-free leader storage from a curved reelfoot Audible, positive outgoing click Standard arbor with a ported design Built of 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum with an ergonomic Delrin® handle Battenkill Click I for line weights 1-3; 3.4 oz, 2.8″ diameter The Story Some get it done with a drag system, but some prefer to put a running fish in the palm of their hand—exactly why we’ll always offer click-and-pawl fly reels like the proven legend of the Orvis Battenkill family. Ushered into the next decade with key design improvements, the Battenkill reel offers reliability and a workhorse nature we didn’t touch—those aspects are not for negotiation. Instead, the team worked to tighten tolerances for even smoother operation and updated design features, including improved hand feel, a curved reelfoot that won’t kink leaders, and new understated colors that complement the aesthetic of Superfine®, Classic Bamboo, or even freshwater Helios™ and Recon® rods. Each reel is built of 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum with an ergonomic Delrin® handle, and switching from left- to right-hand retrieve is simple. Standard arbor with a ported design that pays homage to Battenkill reels of old. A true modern classic.
