The CLA has set a new standard for affordable, hybrid large arbor fly reels. This series incorporates a superior drag mechanism that is extraordinarily smooth, heat resistant and provides incredible stopping power. While the CLA is offered at a reasonable price, no design features have been overlooked. Each reel in this series is designed with a specific diameter and width to maximize the properties of drag consistency and quick line retrieval.CLA 4-7 (Larger Components for Bigger Fish!)The mechanical design of all CLA reels is consistent throughout the series, but improvements have been made to the four largest sizes (4-7) to support their use in battling bigger fish. When comparing the larger CLA reels to the smaller sized 1, 1.5, 2 and 3 reels, you will find that they have a larger sized drag knob, handle and spool cap, but most importantly, they have a STRONGER DRAG SYSTEM. To ensure smooth performance with fast-running fish, the four larger sized CLA reels have also been equipped with oil-impregnated bushings for improved spool rotation. The frame and spool have been reinforced to eliminate flexing when battling heavyweights. With a wide range of sizes available, the CLA series is appropriate for any fishing application, including Spey.Frame/Spool Material: 6061-T6 proprietary aluminum alloy Manufacturing Specifications: Fully machined, 1 piece frame, 1 piece spool with a Delrin pressed hub - manufactured on automated CNC machining centers Drag Material: Delrin 500AF with impregnated Teflon - space-age polymer that is durable, heat resistant, self lubricating and maintenance free Drag Mechanism: Delrin 500AF to anodized aluminum interface - push frame friction disc drag system Drag Engagement System: Redundancy radial pawl engagement Spool Rotation Mechanism: Delrin hub rotating on a stainless steel spindle, oil impregnated bronze bushings rotating on a stainless steel spindle (Sizes 4-7)
