The Bauer RX Classic is made for the Spey enthusiast who wants an aesthetically traditional Spey reel with modern internal characteristics. The RX Classic has a solid frame to properly balance two-handed rods but also features a large arbor and a sealed drag for increased performance on the water. The reel is also a great option for heavier saltwater single-handed rods because of its strong drag and durable construction. This is a versatile reel that defines Bauer engineering and build.
Spey-Specific Design - The RX Classic, otherwise known as the RX Spey, is built to balance two-handed rods. The reel features a traditional solid black polished hardback frame for increased weight. While the reel does feature a large arbor, it also features an increased spool diameter to accommodate any Spey line on the market. High retrieval rates, solid line capacity, and aesthetically appealing design make this a great option for the avid Spey angler.
Anodized Finish - The spool of the RX Classic sports an anodized finish that adds durability and corrosion-resistance to the reel. The finishing is great for excursions in both freshwater and saltwater and protects the reel when it’s dropped or dinged. The frame sports a polished finish that gives the reel a traditional appearance.
Machined 6061 Aluminum - The RX Classic is built with machined 6061 Aluminum which has a few benefits. 6061 aluminum is both abrasion-resistant and corrosion-resistant. If you happen to drop or ding your reel, machined aluminum resists corrosion even when abraded. This type of aluminum is commonly used in aircraft and boat/automotive construction and contributes to the lightweight, durable build of the RX Classic.
Type - The RX Classic functions on a powerful disc drag system. The larger reel models feature a drag with up to five times the surface area for maximum stopping power and control on the largest saltwater/Spey fish. This drag system is strong, smooth, sealed, and reliable.
Materials - The drag system on the RX Classic features multiple carbon discs that are resistant to heat and wear. The reel’s drag system efficiently dissipates heat and keeps the reel functioning properly throughout a lifetime of use.
Large Arbor - The large arbor of the RX Classic increases line pickup and helps anglers fight the largest Spey fish and big saltwater fish. Most contemporary fly reels are made with a large arbor design to allow anglers to pick up as much line as possible with as little work as possible.
Bauer Limited Lifetime Warranty - As of January 2020, Bauer warrants against defects in materials or workmanship for the lifetime of the original purchaser when the reel is purchased through an authorized dealer. The warranty is limited to repair or replacement of the reel at Bauer’s discretion and doesn’t cover incidental damages.
