3D Printed Ultralight Fly Fishing Reel

STL files for this reel are available on Printables and can be found HERE.

I really enjoyed desinging my other fly reel so I thought I’d try a Ultralight Design one too. This was designed and paired this with a cheap Eagle Claw Featherlight 3/4 Line Weight Fly Rod I found on Amazon.

 It’s a little harder to print with the curved frame but I think it looks cooler.

This one I did use a Thrust Bearing on.

The final printed design. I printed this one in PLA and so far it’s held up to the sun and elements.

This one is a lot smaller than my last design.

My hand for scale.

The first fish on the Ultralight Setup.
