Bauer RX Fly Reel — Zero Backlash. Zero Startup Inertia. Maximum Confidence.
The Bauer RX Fly Reel is built around two breakthrough technologies that set it apart from every other reel on the market. Available in Black, Charcoal, and Dark Green in four sizes covering 2wt through 8wt — from small water creeks to tropical saltwater flats.
At the heart of the RX is Bauer's Zero Backlash Clutch — a larger component, non-corrosive drag system that locks down without slipping even at maximum drag settings. What makes it truly unique is zero startup inertia — the same resistance from the first inch of a run to the last. No spike, no slip, no lost fish. Whether you are stopping a 100-pound tarpon or protecting 6X tippet on a technical trout stream, the Bauer clutch delivers confidence when it matters most.
Paired with Bauer's debris sealed carbon drag system — keeping sand, dirt, and mud out while allowing the system to dry — the RX is built to stay on the water and perform consistently in all conditions. Available in Black, Charcoal, and Dark Green.
