Greys Tail Fly Reel 3/4 — Sealed Carbon Drag, Die-Cast Aluminum

Overview

Meet the Greys Tail fly reel in size 3/4, a modern interpretation of di cast engineering calibrated for today’s freshwater anglers. Built from durable die cast aluminum, it pairs precise tolerances with a bold, resilient finish that stands up to seasons on the river. The sealed carbon disc drag provides smooth, predictable resistance during lifts and tough fights, while the large arbor spool supports rapid line retrieval. The fully enclosed frame minimizes line escapes and remains compatible with small diameter running lines or European nymphing configurations. A protective reel pouch is included for safe transport, and the Tail is designed to be adaptable to both left and right handed setups. Greys complements this practical design with a spirit of adventure that began in 1968 with Malcolm Grey, inviting you to explore new water with confidence.
