JMC Fusion RS Fly Reel
The JMC Fusion RS is a modern Large Arbor fly reel offering an impressive combination of performance, durability and outstanding value. Built with a hybrid aluminium construction that combines pressure-cast components with precision CNC machining, the Fusion RS delivers the strength and reliability expected from a premium reel while remaining lightweight and affordable. Designed for river, lake and reservoir fishing, it is an excellent choice for both newcomers and experienced fly anglers alike.
The reel features a progressive micrometric disc drag that provides smooth, consistent pressure and precise adjustment throughout the fight. Its open-frame construction reduces weight while allowing the fly line and backing to dry quickly after use. The Large Arbor spool offers rapid line retrieval and minimizes fly line memory, while the retrieve direction can easily be converted between left- and right-hand operation. Every reel is supplied with a protective neoprene case for safe transport and storage.
