Details

There has been a long and historically successful line of Battenkill reels through Orvis history. Simple, trouble free, and easily accessible in price-the ultimate in function and simplicity throughout the years. Welcome to the powerful, technologically advanced, and yet still accessible new generation of Battenkill reels. This latest Battenkill Disc version is true to its heritage in looks and performance, but updated with the latest in design improvements and a significantly more powerful drag. The porting and finish pay unmistakable homage to the Battenkills of the past, but this reel incorporates our best-selling mid-arbor design. Underneath that mid arbor is the same sealed drag system found in the Hydros SL incorporating six interacting carbon and stainless drag surfaces. Positive click drag is simple and easy to adjust. The reel is built of 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum with an ergonomic Delrin handle and changing from left to right hand retrieve is simple. In black nickel. Imported.

High quality reel that doesn't break the bank

I purchased this reel on impulse at the Orvis store because I liked the way it felt so much. I love the traditional look and the feel of the reel too.

Perfect Glass Rod Companion

If you are going for one of the Orvis Glass rods, you MUST get this as the matching reel. Can not beat the combo!!!

Cheap and awesome!

Awesome reel! Drag as smooth as butter. Paired it with a Clearwater Spey and love the setup. Already landed a upper teen Chinook and a 7 pound Steelhead on it. The Steelhead made several long runs and the reel handled it perfectly.

Very good

Well constructed. Smooth progressive drag. Plenty of capacity for fresh water trout fishing. Spool exchange lever could have been a little bigger for easier swap out.

Incredible value!

I enjoy using classic-looking reels on my trout setups. These Battenkill Disk reels definitely have that look, but under the hood it offers a sealed drag system based off of the incredible Hydros SL drag. Best of both worlds at a very affordable price!
