Redington Crosswater IV Spool – Durable Fly Fishing Reel (7/8/9)

Versatile performance for freshwater and all-water fly fishing

The Redington Crosswater IV series is designed to adapt to changing conditions on the water, offering two core configurations that cover a wide range of angling styles. Whether you’re chasing trout in a small river or pursuing larger sport fish, this reel line-up aims to balance reliability with ease of use.

Choose between the freshwater 4/5/6 setup for delicate presentations on trout streams, panfish, and small bass, or the all-water 7/8/9 configuration for bigger targets like salmon, large bass, stripers, and redfish in the Southeast. Both sizes are available as standalone reels or in pre-spooled packages with Rio Mainstream lines and backing, so you can hit the water confidently and quickly.

Two sizes designed for different days on the water

The 4/5/6 freshwater model excels when precision matters and line control is king, while the 7/8/9 all-water model pairs ample line weight with robust handling for more powerful fish species. A large arbor helps with faster retrieves and reduced line memory, and the option to switch between left- and right-hand retrieve adds casting comfort across a day of varied conditions.

On-water versatility and line changes

A key feature is the CROSSWATER SPOOL ONLY option, which lets you swap lines on the water without re-rigging. This flexibility is particularly useful when you encounter shifting currents, different water depths, or new presentations during a single trip.

• Crosswater spool for quick line changes on the water
• Smooth disc-drag system for steady stopping power across a range of fish
• Durable composite design with an easy-to-change spool for on-water maintenance
• Left-right retrieve conversion and a large arbor for easier, faster retrieves
• 1-year Redington warranty covering workmanship and materials

Convenience, compatibility, and support

Whether you fish solo in remote spots or in busy waters with a guide, the Crosswater IV is built to endure days on the water. The reel combines a rugged exterior with a simple, reliable spool system that keeps you focused on fishing rather than fiddling with gear.

• Pre-spooled options available with 5wt or 8wt Rio Mainstream lines and backing
• At-a-glance setup that minimizes rigging time so you can start casting sooner

Warranty and peace of mind

Redington backs Crosswater IV with a one-year warranty from purchase, offering repair or replacement if there is a defect in workmanship or materials. This support is designed to complement a long season of fishing and a gear setup that’s meant to stay with you through varied days on the water.
