DAYTONA Semi-Automatic Reel by Soldarini
Semi-Automatic Reel Daytona - Soldarini Fly Tackle
This is La Fine Mouche’s real favourite of the start of the year!
The Daytona isn’t just a new reel - it’s an engineering feat that redefines semi-automatic standards.
From the very first grip, you’re immediately struck by the refined finish and the razor-sharp machining precision. A true little gem, built for the most demanding anglers who refuse to compromise between looks and performance.
Semi-Automatic Excellence
Soldarini pushes the limits with the Daytona: an ultra-light reel fully machined from solid (aerospace-grade aluminium). Its internal mechanics have been redesigned to deliver exceptionally smooth line pick-up, letting you manage excess fly line with a simple press of the trigger.
Its large-diameter "Large Arbor" design ensures fast retrieve and reduces fly line or monofilament memory - a major advantage for euro nymphing (Euro Nymphing) or delicate dry fly fishing.
Choose Your Version
Model 1-4 (Weight: 138g): The ideal version for light dry fly fishing or for balancing euro nymphing rods up to 10'6. A concentration of lightness for maximum handling.
Model 2-5 (Weight: 148g): Designed for more powerful dry fly fishing or to perfectly balance long 11' and longer nymphing rods. This extra weight helps stabilise long levers for optimal fishing comfort.
Key Features
- XL Aluminium Trigger: Its long 11cm trigger, fully machined from aluminium, is ideally positioned for a natural grip. The ergonomic design ensures smooth line pick-up and instant responsiveness.
- Integrated Handle and Counterweight: Equipped with a fighting handle and a perfectly balanced counterweight, it delivers precise manual control and direct fish management during hard fights.
- Watchmaking Precision: Micrometric adjustments for absolutely zero play.
- Micrometric Carbon Drag: An ultra-progressive sealed carbon disc drag system, capable of protecting the finest tippets on big fish.
- Lightweight and Balance: Optimised weight distribution to prevent wrist fatigue during long sessions.
- Full Frame Design: The closed frame prevents line or ultra-fine leaders from slipping out or getting wedged between the spool and the frame.
