The NXT Black Label series of reels set a high bar for would-be competitors by providing superior performance at an affordable price. The reel’s frame and spool are made of cast aluminum that is then machined and ported to reduce weight. The handle and spool release are constructed of machined aluminum bar stock to increase durability and strength without adding unnecessary weight. Ample drag pressure, with no startup inertia is reliably delivered by a series of stacked, alternating disc drag washers. LH/RH conversion is easily accomplished without the need for any tools. A black neoprene pouch protects your reel when not in use. Fly anglers of all types will surely appreciate the NXT Black Label’s exceptional performance and value.
