Bauer RX 2 - REEL1197

The Bauer RX 2 fly reel delivers silky-smooth drag resistance and precise line control for anglers targeting trout on technical spring creeks and medium-sized rivers. Designed to pair with 4-weight and 5-weight fly rods, this light fly reel excels during delicate dry fly presentations and light nymphing where tippet protection is paramount. Its large arbor profile speeds up line retrieval during fast runs while minimizing spool memory, helping you stay connected to hard-fighting fish in swift currents.

Machined from anodized 6061-T6 aerospace aluminum, the RX 2 features a completely sealed carbon fiber disc drag system that stays protected from dirt, grit, and moisture. Bauer pairs this drag with a micro-adjust star drag mechanism and a zero-backlash clutch, giving you immediate adjustment and smooth startup inertia on every run. Every component reflects fine craftsmanship, combining lightweight porting with structural strength for years of dependable performance.

This preowned fly reel arrives in Like New condition, providing elite craftsmanship at an incredible value compared to buying new. Every item offered by Recast Fly Fishing undergoes a thorough inspection, allowing you to upgrade your gear setup with complete confidence.
