The Guideline Scandi fly reels are precision-engineered for modern migratory fly fishing, featuring high-torque titanium drag systems, deep large-arbour spools, and ultra-smooth braking performance. Designed in Scandinavia and built for power, balance, and control in every fight.

Following two-and-a-half years of research and development, our new pinnacle series of fly reels has been optimised to deliver application-specific, specialty performance for the modern migratory angler. Our contemporary Scandinavian design language evolves further in the Scandi fly reels, featuring more organic, softer curves in the overall aesthetic. Unparalleled 3D CNC machining delivers faceted spoke surfacing and arm profiling, which combine with a restrained dual-anodised palette to redefine design elegance.

Strategic weight minimisation
High-precision manufacturing tolerances have been vastly improved throughout our Scandi reels, delivering a new level of maximum braking power to our portfolio. Narrow, deeper, large-arbour spools with vertical walls accommodate the wider array of thicker-profiled modern shooting heads and prevent backing stack during intense fish fights. Strategic weight minimisation delivers pre-determined, accurately targeted lighter weights for counterbalancing modern single hand, switch and two-handed rods.

High torque titanium drag systems
Our proprietary, precision-tolerance braking systems combine titanium discs and carbon friction plates to deliver maximum strength with unprecedented longevity. 720 degrees of preset drag settings provides a purposeful range of drag pressure for more accurate sensitivity and pressure application, preventing excessive tension too quickly during the critical phase of the fight.

To eliminate failures in high-torque battles, a triple-stabilised core has been implemented for zero axial and radial run-out. Pre-loaded, press-fit bearings ensure perfect compatibility between spools and frames, preventing spool deflection and spool-to-frame contact. Twelve stainless steel compression springs engage with the titanium drag discs and carbon friction plates, ensuring a smoother, more consistent, sealed drag system capable of reaching unprecedented maximum torque ratings.

Extensive range & models
The Scandi range of fly reels is available in four different models that cover most types of migratory fishing from single-hand rods in line weights #68, to switch and heavy double-hand rods rated for lines #1113. They come in two colour-ways: Black with Bronze trim, and Black with Blue trim. All Scandi reels are delivered with left-hand retrieve as standard, but they are fully interchangeable and can easily be switched to right-hand retrieve.

To eliminate any guesswork regarding the line capacity of the Scandi fly reels, weve engraved detailed information on the inside of the reel foot. This includes specifications for backing, shooting line, and shooting head. Each reel comes in a soft yet durable neoprene pouch, featuring a structured grey exterior with black details and a bright Guideline orange interior.

H-Ti – High Torque Titanium drag systems

Engineered for peak performance, our advanced drag system integrates precision-machined titanium discs with carbon friction plates, delivering exceptional strength and durability. This combination ensures consistent drag pressure and a smooth, reliable operation throughout intense battles. The system features an expanded range of preset drag settings, allowing for precise adjustments to match various fishing conditions. This enhanced sensitivity helps prevent sudden tension surges during critical moments of the fight.

To maintain structural integrity under high torque, we’ve implemented a triple-stabilized core that eliminates axial and radial run-out. Pre-loaded, press-fit bearings guarantee seamless alignment between spool and frame, preventing deflection and ensuring optimal performance. Twelve stainless steel compression springs engage the titanium and carbon components, providing a sealed, consistent drag system capable of handling extreme torque levels.
