At Swift River the search for classic fly reels is as important as the search for the best cane rods. I am pleased to be able to reels from Peerless that provide a range of choices in both style and function. These reels feature the design elements and fine craftsmanship that will endure the test of time.

If you purchase a rod and reel from Swift River at the same time, depending on the actual items, a discount of 10% on the rod and reel is offered. Please inquire, no discounts are offered on reels alone. Many fine used reels can be purchased at reasonable prices.

 

Peerless

Peerless Reels are traditionally styled and handcrafted to exacting tolerances in the tradition of Leonard and Vom Hofe They feature right to left hand reversibility and are among the best made reels in America today, at any price. Both trout and salmon models will last a lifetime and run smoothly enough to fish the lightest tippets or handle the toughest fish.

Peerless trout models 1A, 1 1/2, 2A, and 3A for line capacities 1 through 8 all feature externally adjustable drag systems, oil impregnated bronze bearings, stainless steel shaft, no glare finish, and a unique pawl system. I sell new Peerless reels at standard retail proces only. If you buy a Peerless reel at the same time as a fly rod I will discount the rod and reel by 10%. Used Peerless reels are offered from time to time on this site.
