SCIERRA Traxion 3 LW Fly Reel
The SCIERRA Traxion 3 LW is the flagship fly reel in the Traxion series, engineered for anglers who demand premium quality, outstanding strength and uncompromising performance. Fully CNC-machined from a single block of 6061 aircraft-grade aluminium, it combines exceptional rigidity with an ultra-lightweight design and a modern Large Arbor configuration. Whether you're targeting trout on rivers, fishing stillwaters, chasing powerful freshwater species or exploring light saltwater applications, the Traxion 3 LW delivers the performance expected from a premium fly reel.
The reel features a fully sealed waterproof seven-disc micro-adjustable drag system that delivers an exceptionally smooth start-up, consistent stopping power and excellent protection for fine tippets. Its Large Arbor spool is heavily ported to reduce weight while allowing fly lines and backing to dry quickly after use. An integrated line guard prevents loose line from wrapping around the handle, while the one-piece frame with an integrated reel foot maximizes rigidity and long-term durability. The retrieve direction can easily be converted between left- and right-hand operation, and every reel is supplied with a premium neoprene pouch.
