Solitude 2 Fly Reel Review

Solitude 2 Fly Reel Reviews

When choosing my fly reel I searched for a quality one made in the USA. My search led me to a small company called Solitude Reels. Located in Seattle, they have been making a quality, proven reel that can withstand the rigors of fighting Steelhead and had to be tough enough to handle anything that I could possibly throw at it, and it has. ~ Texas Fly Fishing Adventures

Fly Reel Review Solitude 2

Designed for 4-5-6 lines, the Solitude II is perfect for western rivers, large spring creeks or chasing Alaskan rainbows. Use of crest- to- crest wave spring in the drag allows for a near-infinite range of settings. The fine, silky-smooth drag system helps protect light tippets and delivers even, consistent pressure during demanding runs.  Made from fully machined 6061-T651 aluminum.

4-5-6 wt. line weight reel – Weight: 6.20 oz.
Colors:  Gold Reel, Pewter Reel, Black Reel 

Backing and line capacity:

  • DT 4 (90’ line) + 115 yds 20 lb backing
  • DT 5 (90’ line) + 90 yds 20 lb backing
  • WF4/WF5 (90’ line) + 200 yds 20 lb backing
  • WF6 (100’ line) + 140 yds 20 lb backing
  • Spool diameter (inner flange): 2.77”
More from Texas Fly Fishing Adventures…The smoothness of the drag, which is made of a cork/teflon disk system really comes in handy when playing a large fish. Being type II anodized gives me the comfort of knowing that when I fish in saltwater it will be able to handle the elements. With the capability of changing the spool quickly, you are able to adapt to the conditions on the water easily.
