We've
teamed up with famed Australian reel designer Terry Hayden to create
a new reel that is designed to battle the strongest fish in the
ocean.
Machined from 6061 marine grade aluminum and Type
III Hard Anodized, TFO's Hayden reels are built tough for a lifetime
of service. Hard Anodization penetrates the base metal becoming an
integral part of the material while building up on the surface
creating a finish that is harder and more durable than those found
on the most expensive reels.
Three stainless steel bearings and a large surface
area cork drag are combined for smooth start up and positive
stopping power. Three sizes cover your big game needs.

TFO Fly Reel Care & Maintenance
Spool & Frame Finish
The Military Grade, Type III Hard Anodizing is extremely corrosion
resistant and as a result, the reel requires only a rinse in fresh
water after exposure to saltwater to protect it. It can be immersed
in warm soapy water to dissolve any salt buildup, which may be in
the reel, but this process is unnecessary as the Anodizing process
eliminates the need. Anti-corrosive products such as spray polishes,
and oils etc. are not required, but may preserve the long-term
aesthetics of the reel.
Lubrication
High quality grease, such as Cal's 2 Speed, should be applied to:
-
Both pawls where they contact the teeth of the
drag plate
-
The threads on the draw bar
-
The spindle where it contacts the bearings
within the spool
Drag Surface
Cork drags perform best and last longest if they are kept
lubricated; we prefer a thin film of Cal's 2 Speed Universal Reel &
Star Drag Grease. Check the cork surface regularly and lubricate
before it dries out. A cork which has dried out loses elasticity and
becomes less capable of performing fine adjustments.
Removing the Spool
Tools Required: A nickel or quarter.
Remove the drag knob screw from the center of the drag knob by
turning it clockwise (reverse thread). Turn the drag knob off in the
standard counter clockwise direction. Turn the reel over and pull
the draw bar out, then remove the spool from the frame.
Reversing the Retrieve
Follow procedure above for removing the spool. The geared drag plate
pulls out with no tools necessary. To reassemble, place the drag
plate over the spindle and on top of the pawls. For right-hand
retrieve, turn the drag plate clockwise while pushing it down
towards the frame until both pawls click into place against the
teeth of the drag plate. The procedure for left-hand retrieve is
identical, except that you must turn the drag plate counter
clockwise as you push it down onto the pawls. Replace the spool on
the spindle and reverse the disassembly procedure above, keeping in
mind that the drag knob screw tightens counter clockwise.
Thank you for allowing Temple Fork Outfitters to share in your
pursuit of fly-fishing's greatest rewards. We encourage "catch and
release" and we ask that you leave the environment better than you
found it. We also wish you a lifetime of memorable angling!
