Orvis Ratio Fly Reel

Serious Drag Power for Serious Fish

When the fight turns heavy and the fish refuses to quit, the Orvis Ratio Fly Reel is built to keep you firmly in control. Designed for anglers targeting powerful fish in demanding conditions, the Ratio combines high drag output, smooth performance, and saltwater-ready durability in a reel that thrives under pressure.

At the core of the Ratio is a carbon and stainless steel disc drag system capable of delivering up to 16 pounds of smooth, consistent resistance. With zero startup inertia, the drag engages instantly, protecting lighter tippets while maintaining steady pressure through blistering runs and sudden surges.

The oversized, indexed drag knob allows fast, precise micro-adjustments—even in the middle of a fight. When every second matters, you can confidently dial in the exact amount of pressure needed to turn a fish before it finds structure or deep water.

Built to handle harsh environments, the Ratio features a fully sealed drag system that keeps out salt, sand, and debris, ensuring reliable performance whether you're fishing tropical flats, coastal waters, or powerful freshwater fisheries.

For anglers looking for a high-performance big-game fly reel with serious stopping power, the Orvis Ratio is ready to go round after round.
