Vision XLV Nymph Fly Reel
The Vision XLV Nymph is a specialist fly reel developed specifically for modern Euro nymphing and competition fly fishing. Unlike conventional fly reels, the XLV Nymph features an extra-narrow Ultra Large Arbor spool that delivers exceptionally fast line retrieval, minimizes fly line memory and provides outstanding balance for today's long nymphing rods. Its fully CNC-machined construction, Full Frame design and precisely tuned disc drag make it one of the finest reels available for European-style nymph fishing.
Fully CNC-machined from high-quality aluminium, the reel is assembled using premium components, with all moving parts lubricated using SKF waterproof bearing grease for maximum reliability and smooth operation. The specially tuned disc drag system has been optimized for protecting the finest tippets while maintaining precise, progressive control throughout the fight. The Full Frame construction prevents thin competition lines from slipping between the spool and frame, while the integrated counterbalance and comfortable EVA handle improve balance and reduce fatigue during long days on the water. Finished in a stealthy matte black with subtle green accents, the XLV Nymph perfectly complements modern competition rods.

Its lightweight design and integrated counterbalance provide outstanding balance with today's 10- to 11-foot nymphing rods, helping reduce fatigue during long sessions on technical rivers.
For anglers who demand maximum sensitivity, flawless line control and exceptional balance, the XLV Nymph delivers purpose-built performance without compromise.
