El Jefe Fly Reels

The El Jefe Fly Reel lives up to its name — “The Boss.” Engineered from precision-machined aluminum with a sealed drag system, these reels deliver silky-smooth performance and rock-solid stopping power for everything from mountain trout to saltwater species. Each reel is pre-spooled with premium backing and fly line, a $100+ value, so it’s ready to fish right out of the box. Designed for both freshwater and saltwater use, the El Jefe balances perfectly with our El Jefe v2 and El Rey fly rods, offering exceptional feel and dependability in every cast. Built to last and sold direct to the angler, these reels provide the same precision and quality found in high-end brands — at a fraction of the price.
