Redington Classic Trout Fly Reel

Built for the everyday moments that make trout fishing addictive, the Redington Classic Trout Reel blends a nostalgic feel with modern machining and performance. Lightweight, loud, and delightfully simple, the Classic Trout Reel delivers the kind of high-decibel click that turns heads downstream while providing all the control you need to keep your rig dialed and tussle with the apex predators of every trout stream. The reel's ported, narrow mid-arbor spool picks up line quickly without adding bulk, and the adjustable double-clicker drag keeps things easy without overcomplicating the fight. With a timeless aesthetic and a less-is-more approach, the Classic Trout is designed to stay on your rod for years of fishing.

Design

Mid-Arbor Trout Design – Redington's Classic Trout uses a large-diameter but narrow mid-arbor build that makes it easy to stack line and keep carrying weight low. The traditional styling pairs perfectly with lighter trout rods, while its practical rim design allows for smooth palming during runs.

Finish 

Anodized Machined Aluminum – Redington finishes the Classic Trout Reel with a clean, durable anodized coating that holds up well to freshwater use. The reel's classic look pairs naturally with both modern and vintage-inspired trout setups.

Materials

CNC-Machined 6061-T6 Aluminum – Fully machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, the Classic Trout is lighter than cast alternatives while offering improved rigidity and long-term durability. Solidly-placed porting lightens the overall build and keeps the reel feeling balanced on smaller rods.

Drag

Adjustable Double-Clicker Drag – This drag system provides just enough resistance to prevent over-spooling while keeping that iconic, high-decibel click that trout anglers love. Simple, reliable, and designed for all trout scenarios, the Classic Trout sports a drag that's sure to enhance the fishing experience rather than complicate it.

Clicker + Spring Mechanism – The double-clicker setup uses traditional spring-based components for a smooth, consistent sound and feel. It’s a low-maintenance system perfect for anglers who prefer simplicity and tactile feedback over sealed drag complexity.

Arbor Size

Mid-Arbor – The mid-arbor design strikes a perfect balance between traditional feel and modern performance, offering quick line pickup without the oversized footprint of full large-arbor reels.

Warranty

Redington Lifetime Warranty – Redington covers their reels for the original owner against defects in materials and workmanship. Misuse, wear, corrosion, loss, or modifications are not covered, and Redington may replace discontinued models with updated equivalents. Service outside of warranty can typically be performed for a fee.
