There is not another true large arbor, big-game fly-fishing reel out there that carries this drag system performance at a price starting at just $255. It's unheard of until now. The new Hydros® Reel Series features a sealed drag surface that increases total drag surface by model: The larger the reel, the larger the drag surface and the more resistance available to handle larger fish. Using stacked carbon washers, controlled by a positive click adjustment system, the Hydros can be fine-tuned to handle any fish from a trout to a tuna with sustained and infinitely durable drag pressure.
HYDROS IV-V have a four carbon washer drag system
HYDROS VI has a six carbon washer drag system (definitely the strongest drag system in its class)
HYDROS IV is for line weights 7-8 and holds 200 yards of 20lb backing
HYDROS V is for line weights 9-10 and holds 225 yards of 30lb backing
HYDROS VI is for line weights 11-12 and holds 325 yards of 30lb backing
