Fortuna Regent Fly Reel

So Far, So Bueno

Just spent two days on the Llano River in Texas fishing for Guadeloupe bass, only on top water and armed only with my new Hardy Fortuna. It can get windy in West Texas. The Fortuna met the challenge. I particularly loved the “indicator” on the drag wheel. It gives a fisherman a clear idea of how much he or she is increasing or decreasing drag. I can’t wait to get back on the water again.

Unbelievably good reel

Took 5 of em to cuba. Pulled hard on fish. Drag knob is very intuitive. Large arbor = Fast pickup. Great reels. Would recomment to any and all.

Amazing!

Drag is super smooth. Left to right retrieve switch was painless. Please let me know when the black spools are in stock.
