El Jefe Saltwater Fly Reels | Sealed Drag | 7–10 Weight | Pre-Spooled with Backing & Fly Line

The El Jefe Saltwater Fly Reel is built to take on the toughest fish in the toughest conditions — tarpon, permit, stripers, redfish, or anything that runs hard. Precision-machined from aircraft-grade aluminum and armed with a fully sealed carbon disc drag, it’s designed for total corrosion resistance and flawless performance in harsh saltwater environments.

Each reel arrives pre-spooled with premium backing and a weight-forward floating fly line — over a $100 value — so you’re ready to fish the moment it hits your hands.

Available in 7 wt through 10 wt, the El Jefe Saltwater balances perfectly with our El Rey G6 and El Jefe V2 Saltwater rods, giving you a complete system that’s adventure-ready and built to last.
