G. Loomis EastFork Fly Reel

With the Loomis EastFork Fly reel, you get performance, and at under $200, you get the kind of performance you'd expect from a reel costing twice as much. With Loomis EastFork reels you won't have to loosen the drag to save your tippet, or crank down to prevent a large fish from spooling you. All models are equipped with very strong, smooth and sensitive drags that transition from a delicate, friction-free startup, to controlled strength at any setting. This is accomplished with a proprietary drag material that will allow you to look forward to an eternity of reliable, and enjoyable, hours on the water. Forged? Machined? How about both? Loomis combined the best of each world to accomplish a stable, intricately detailed marriage between spool and body. They're lightweight, very strong and hassle free. A push button spool allows quick extraction if needed, and switching left to right is accomplished with a simple O-ring design. The richly finished color, and a beautifully detailed wooden handle compliment all rods, especially all the new G. Loomis models, making these as nice to look at as they are to fish.

Bottom line - performance and affordability - Forged and machined, they're lightweight, very strong and super smooth. Drag engagement is instantaneous and positive through the super stopper type roller bearing. Large Arbor for faster line pick-up.
