The Orvis Battenkill Disc Fly Reel is a modern take on a classic name, delivering reliable disc-drag performance in a lightweight, durable design. Built for trout anglers who want smooth drag pressure and easy adjustability, the Battenkill Disc is equally at home on rivers, streams, and stillwater when fishing dries, nymphs, or streamers.
The sealed disc drag provides consistent, low-startup resistance to protect light tippets while still offering enough stopping power for strong fish. A large arbor design improves line pickup and reduces memory, helping you stay connected during fast runs and line management situations. Tough, corrosion-resistant construction makes this reel a dependable choice for everyday freshwater use—and light saltwater applications when properly cared for.
