The CLA has set the standard for affordable large arbor fly reels. The CLA 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 options have been overlooked. The series is fully machined out of a proprietary aluminum alloy, fully anodized for protection, and built to take the abuse of everyday use. This is why the CLA series is a popular reel for outfitters and guides who demand unconditional performance in an affordable package. It is an American-made, high quality, reasonably priced fly reel.
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 to support their use in battling bigger fish. The CLA (sizes 4-7) have a larger sized drag knob, handle, and spool cap, but most importantly, they have a stronger drag system. The frame and spool have also been reinforced to eliminate flexing when battling the big boys. With a wide range of sizes available, the CLA series is appropriate for any fishing application. And because of its great size, dependability, drag performance, and affordable price, the CLA (sizes 4-7) are a popular spey series.
