Any enthusiast looking at these reels will notice that they all have certain things in common, such as machined aluminum construction and disc-style drags. Aspen Reels not only matches these requirements, but also goes on to offer features not seen in the others, without additional cost. It is a serious reel of extremely rugged construction that was designed to accompany avid anglers for years of fly fishing.
