Guideline AURA Fly Reel Blue

Description

The Guideline AURA series represents a bold refinement of fly reel design engineering – a Guideline design exploration into optimised perfection. Rather than overbuilding or over- sizing, AURA delivers exactly what is required. No excess, no compromise – for precision and purpose – creating a symbiotic harmony between form and function. Every choice, from weight distribution to finish, serves a clear purpose: to enhance the angler’s experience. By uniting precision engineering with purposeful restraint, Guideline have created a reel family that elevates performance into beauty — light, strong, and uncompromising, yet elegant in its simplicity.

AURA fly reels covers a wealth of situations; from agile single-hand trout fishing to longer two-handed spey applications. Every size has been meticulously matched to its purpose, creating a range of modern fly reels that feels precise, balanced, and intuitive in the hand. Larger diameters accelerate line pick-up and improve fish control, while carefully tuned spool widths deliver even line lay without stack. By refining volumes to the precise needs of each application, capacities remain efficient, allowing the reels to stay lightweight and perfectly counterbalance the modern, advanced rod technologies.

This meaningful design exploration extends beyond proportions into the finer details that define modern performance in fly reels. A fully sealed carbon-fiber disc drag system ensures smooth, consistent resistance across the full spectrum of fishing conditions, protecting the lightest tippets while still offering absolute stopping power against larger fish. CNC-machined drag knobs provide tactile security for confident adjustments, even in cold or wet environments, while dual-anodised finishes combine durability with refined visual appeal. Spey-specific models incorporate a solid line guard, adding mass to properly balance longer rods and reinforcing the structural integrity expected in demanding situations.

The AURA series consists of six different reels, and goes from a small #34 trout model up to a powerful #1012 salmon reel. A new offering is a dedicated Euro Nymph model with an even larger diameter and more narrow spool. The reels are available in three color-ways with dual anodized color finishing; Bronze, Titanium, and Blue, to harmonize with a large range of rod colors and reel seats. All models are suitable for both salt and freshwater environments, targeting a multitude of species. The fully sealed carbon-fiber disc drag system offers a maximum drag output of 3.0 kg on the single hand models, while the two double hand models, #810 & #1012, generate 4.0 kg of max drag output.
