Guideline AURA BLUE Reel - Saltwater and Stillwater
Reel AURA BLUE - GUIDELINE
The Guideline Aura Blue is a special edition of the Aura reel, offered in an elegant double-anodized blue finish. Its CNC-machined 6061 aluminium frame combines precision, lightness and excellent corrosion resistance.
Available in two sizes, #56 and #78, it covers a wide range of river, stillwater and saltwater fly fishing applications. The #56 is a versatile model for trout and grayling, while the #78 offers greater capacity for more powerful setups, large streamers and hard-fighting fish.
Large Arbor and closed frame
Its Large Arbor design speeds up fly line retrieval and improves control during the fight. The controlled spool width helps the line lay evenly, without excessive build-up on one side.
The fully closed frame prevents thin fly lines and monofilament from slipping between the spool and the frame. This design provides extra security when fishing stillwaters or rivers.
Fully sealed carbon disc drag
The Aura Blue features a fully sealed carbon fibre disc drag. Smooth and progressive, it protects fine leaders while delivering up to 3 kg of drag power to control the hardest-fighting fish.
The CNC-machined drag knob offers precise grip, even with wet fingers or in cold weather. The sealed mechanism requires little maintenance and is suitable for both freshwater and saltwater use.
