The
Orvis Clearwater Fly Reels may be the best bargain value
on the market in this price range. Featuring a powerful, smooth drag
system and a new, stronger and lighter frame, the new Orvis Clearwater
is tough and attractive, in a lightweigth reel to perfectly balance
modern fly rods. Two years in design and development delivers with a
powerful inline, Rulon to stainless, stacked disc drag that can hold its
own with high-performance machined reels. The New Orvis Clearwater Fly
Reel has the great classic look of a fully machined reel, and more
importantly, has the guts of a much higher-priced fly reel.
Easily
converted to either left- or right-hand retrieve, the Orvis Clearwater
II Fly Reel has a positive click drag knob for consistent settings every
time. Whether you're looking for your first large arbor, fishing on a
budget, or want a spare reel or two in the bag, the new Orvis Clearwater
Large Arbor II Fly Reel can handle anything a machined reel can and
completely changes the game in die cast reels. A perfect reel to use as a
backup rod or if you are looking for an affordable reel with an
excellent drag system.
This is a well designed reel. It will stop fish with plenty of drag. Click sounds good. Feels nice in hand. Powder coating is trash.

Good Affordable Reel, I will say I was more impressed with others if you are willing to spend the extra $100, however its been a great reel so far. Don't think you can really go wrong with it - I did change out the line to SA

Good, but the Lamson liquid is better

I just bought this reel and fished it once. I have a good impression so far: smooth drag, nice finish good looking. Albeit, I think the Lamson Liquid is a better choice since it is quite a bit lighter
