Orvis Clearwater CAST Reel III: Large-Arbor Die-Cast Reel for 5-7wt, Charcoal

Performance with Purpose

The Orvis Clearwater CAST Reel III is built for anglers who value a thoughtful balance of performance and value. Its large-arbor die-cast design promotes faster line pickup and smoother control, while a rugged powder-coated finish stands up to the wear and spray of daily fishing. Tailored for 5-7wt setups, this reel feels steady in hand from first light to the last drift, helping you stay focused on your presentation and line management.

Durability, Fit, and Smooth Handling

Durability meets precision in the upgraded details. The sealed drag system helps resist corrosion, maintaining consistent drag feel across varied water conditions. An updated radius on the reel foot improves fit, contributing to steadier balance and a more natural casting motion on a range of rod reels. The result is a dependable reel that supports fluid line control and confident retrieves, whether you're casting dries, nymphing, or swinging a streamer.

Two Ways to Cast, One Seamless Setup

With versatile left- or right-hand retrieval, you can tailor the reel to your preferred fishing style without sacrificing performance. The design also emphasizes practical line capacity, enabling longer casts and flexible line choices for different rivers and conditions. Enthusiasts appreciate the balance of form and function that aligns with Orvis’ legacy of craftsmanship and environmental stewardship.
