Buckle up. As we’ve said - the performance benchmark for a fly reel is retrieve rate per ounce. There’s no downside to high retrieve rate other than the extra weight. Re-imagine what large arbor means, cast out any doubts about swing weight and try to keep up with the Hyperspeed F5 and F7 reels. The Hyperspeed F5 picks up 11.5” of line and the F7 retrieves a staggering 12.5” of line per spool rotation. Every inch of the frame and spool has been meticulously CNC machined with even material distribution along critical load paths. Ensuring unrivaled strength, stability, and lightness despite its impressive size. So light you might forget it’s there, but commanding enough to demand attention. All of that is backed up by our sealed conical drag with plenty of stopping power to put you in the driver’s seat. Find a new gear with this reel that’s primed to keep pace with even the fastest fish you can find. Manufactured in the U.S.A. and assembled in Boise, Idaho.
| Item | Diameter | Width | Weight | Rod wt | Line capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| HyperSpeed -5+ | 112mm | 21mm | 140gr | WF 4-6 | WF6 125 yds 20# |
| HyperSpeed -7+ | 119mm | 21mm | 155gr | WF 6-8 | WF8 150 yds 20# |
Do not remove the drag knob or the two-holed nut in the center of the drag knob for any reason.
Always ensure the Gland Cap is tight, especially before using the reel the first time or after reversing the retrieve direction. Be sure to periodically check that the cap is on securely; it should always be firmly tightened by hand, do not use a tool. The Gland Cap should seat completely on the drag cylinder when installed properly.
The drag system is meant to operate lubrication free. Do not use any type of oil or lubricant in or around the drag system. A small amount of WD-40 may be applied to the retrieve handle in order to remove any dirt build up between the handle and the handle shaft.
Freshwater Use: Occasionally rinse your reel thoroughly under fresh running water and wipe the spool and frame to remove any debris or dirt build up. Be sure to wipe down the spindle on the spool and keep it free of debris.
Saltwater Use:
Be sure to rinse the reel under fresh running water after every use in a salt environment. Occasionally rinse the drag by doing the following:
Remove the spool, unscrew the gland cap and remove the red and silver clutch assembly.
Rinse all components including the inside of the drag cylinder thoroughly with fresh running water.
Allow all components to dry completely before reassembly.
