Orvis Hydros Euro Fly Reel — The Hydros, Rebuilt as a Euro Nymphing Machine
The wildly popular Orvis Hydros reel makes its debut here as a purpose-built European nymphing reel. Euro nymphing leans heavily on impossibly thin running line and monofilament, and that thin line is exactly what can slip between spool and frame on a standard reel. Orvis solved that by rebuilding the Hydros II into a fully caged Euro version with tightened tolerances, completely eliminating the gap where line escapes.
It is also slightly heavier than the standard Hydros, and that is deliberate. The added weight balances the long 10' and 11' rods that Euro anglers fish, so the whole outfit sits right in the hand through a long day of high-stick drifts.
Everything that makes the Hydros series work is still here. At the core is the bombproof, fully sealed Hydros drag system, built with stacked carbon and stainless steel disc washers and zero startup inertia, one of the strongest drags in the category. The reel also carries an ergonomically accessible drag knob, a refined seal that protects the clutch bearing in the drag mechanism, and a radiused reel foot for kink-free leader protection. It comes in matte olive with silver accents.
