In honor of its 50th anniversary, our USA-made click-and-pawl C.F.O. III Reel is inspired by renowned fly reel designer Stan Bogdan's 1971 revival of the timeless, ventilated-port design first patented by Charles Frederick Orvis in 1874.

Worthy of display and even more fun to fish, this classic click-and-pawl is an elegantly simple and effective design with the same black frame and spool with silver accents as Bogdan's 1971 icon. Features an easy left- to right-hand retrieve conversion.

  • Made with durable, corrosion-resistant type III anodizing.
  • Neoprene reel case included.
  • Spool is not backwards compatible with previous C.F.O. reels.
  • 3 oz.
  • 3" reel diameter.
  • Line weights 3-5;
  • 75 yards with 5-wt., 20-lb Dacron®.
  • USA-made revival of reel designer Stan Bogdan's iconic 1971 reel
  • Type III anodizing is durable and resists corrosion
  • Converts from left- to right-hand retrieve
  • Classic click-and-pawl design is a pleasure to fish
