A whole different animal (G. Loomis Asquith 4wt)
"Laser accurate close in. Nuanced similar on dry flies as my Winston Boron III. Top of its class on 4Wt dries. I can’t imagine any improvement that could make this rod fish ant better."
Description
Bauer's do-it-all reel series, the RX, features models that are made specifically for freshwater/trout applications and reels that are rugged enough to chase fish in the saltwater. This well-rounded series is built on a strong carbon fiber drag system and intelligent porting and design. User-friendly contemporary aesthetics include a wooden reel handle and various reel colors. Whether you're a saltwater or freshwater angler, the RX has a reel model for you.
Design
Precision, Performance, Perfection - Or so Bauer claims. The RX reels are designed with heightened tolerances and represent the very best in USA-manufactured fly reels. The reel is extremely well-balanced with maximum porting for a lightweight build. The drag system is strong and efficient, making this reel a great option in either freshwater or saltwater.
Finish
Anodized Finish - The RX 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.
Materials
Machined 6061 Aluminum - The RX 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.
Drag
Type - The RX 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 fish. This drag system is strong, smooth, sealed, and reliable.
Materials - The drag system on the RX 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.
Arbor Size
Large Arbor - The large arbor of the RX increases line pickup and helps anglers fight the largest trout and massive 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.
Warranty
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.
