HANAK Competition Stream II Fly Reel
The HANAK Competition Stream II is the refined successor to one of HANAK Competition's most popular fly reels. Designed for anglers who demand lightweight performance, exceptional smoothness and long-term reliability, this modern Large Arbor reel combines precision engineering with an elegant design. Thanks to its highly responsive disc drag system and premium bearing assembly, the Stream II is equally suited to delicate dry fly fishing, Euro nymphing and traditional trout and grayling fishing.
Manufactured from fully CNC-machined aluminium, the reel offers an outstanding balance of strength and low weight. Two precision ball bearings combined with a Super Roller bearing ensure exceptionally smooth rotation, while the finely adjustable disc drag provides precise control when protecting fine tippets during hard-fighting fish. The Large Arbor spool retrieves line quickly, reduces fly line memory and perfectly complements today's lightweight fly rods.
