A premium reel requires a world-class brake, plenty of line capacity, a light but still solid construction and last but definitely not least a unique design to clearly separate it from all the other reels on the market. Those were our main targets with XO fly reels. The XLV custom series provides custom reels for specific fishing styles; the Nymph for example sports a full cage design to ensure the thin diameter of the nymph line stays where it belongs...on the spool.
