Orvis DXR 9／10 Fly Reel Spool
The Orvis DXR 9/10 Fly Reel Spool is a replacement spool designed for the Orvis DXR fly reel, specifically sized for 9/10-weight fly lines. Here’s what you need to know:
Key Features:
– Compatibility: Fits the Orvis DXR fly reel (not interchangeable with other Orvis reel models).
– Weight Range: Designed for 9/10-weight fly lines, ideal for large freshwater or saltwater species (e.g., bass, pike, tarpon, bonefish).
– Construction: Machined from anodized aluminum for durability and corrosion resistance.
– Drag System: Works with the DXR’s sealed carbon drag system, providing smooth, consistent pressure.
– Large Arbor: Allows for faster line retrieval and reduces line memory.
– Color: Typically matches the reel’s finish (black/gunmetal).
Included:
– Spool only (does not include backing, fly line, or reel frame).
Use Cases:
– Swapping lines (e.g., switching between floating and sinking lines).
– Backup spool for travel or different fishing conditions.
Where to Buy:
– Orvis website (check for availability).
– Authorized Orvis dealers or fly-fishing retailers (e.g., Backcountry, FishUSA).
– Secondary markets (eBay, Facebook Marketplace) if discontinued.
Price:
– Typically $150–$250, depending on availability (original MSRP was higher).
Alternatives:
If the DXR spool is unavailable, consider:
– Orvis Hydros SL or Mirage spools (but verify compatibility).
– Third-party spools (rare, as most are model-specific).
Pro Tip:
Always confirm spool compatibility with your exact reel model before purchasing. If in doubt, contact Orvis Customer Service (1-800-548-9548).
