The new Access Mid-Arbor fly reels are very nice replacing the venerable Battenkill Mid-Arbor.
The new Access Mid-Arbor fly fishing reels take the mid-arbor concept to a new level of performance and does it at a price that makes it accessible to everyone. Starting at just $129, the Access Reel Series offers a full-range of performance features from machined 6061 aircraft aluminum to a totally sealed carbon and stainless-steel drag surface. From the diminutive I to the big-game V, the Access offers the angler the benefits of large arbor; faster retrieve, less coiling, but at a diameter size that isn't quite as overwhelming as some large arbors. With a new larger handle, positive click drag adjustment, and three bold colors, the Access fly fishing reels are the best dollar for dollar reel value in the industry.
•New Mirage gold anodizing
•New larger Mirage style handle
•Totally sealed drag surface
•Carbon fiber/stainless steel washer drag system
•6061 aircraft bar stock
•Available in sizes I-V
•All models have a 2 carbon fiber, stainless steel washer drag system
•Positive drag click system
•Available in New Gold, Black, Titanium
