Orvis Battenkill Disc Fly Reel
A true modern classic reimagined, the Orvis Battenkill Disc Fly Reel combines a heritage-inspired aesthetic with the raw stopping power of a heavy-duty disc drag. This latest generation features significant upgrades in construction, tightening tolerances for even smoother operation while maintaining the iconic ported mid-arbor design that pays homage to the Battenkill legacy.
Built from rugged 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum, this reel is engineered for durability and precision. The standout feature is the integration of the Hydros SL drag system, utilizing six interacting carbon and stainless steel surfaces to deliver smooth, consistent pressure on hard-running fish. Whether you are pairing it with the soul of a Superfine Glass rod or the high-performance tech of a Helios or Recon, the Battenkill Disc provides the perfect balance of vintage style and contemporary performance.
Key Performance Upgrades

Precision Drag System: Features the stout, positive-click Hydros SL drag for simple, micro-adjustable tension.

Leader-Friendly Design: A newly designed curved reel foot prevents leaders from kinking when stowed—ideal for technical trout anglers.

-
Durable Construction: Machined from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum with a ported design that reduces weight without sacrificing strength.
-
Versatile Retrieve: Simple, tool-free conversion between left- and right-hand retrieve.
