Airlite V3 Fly Reel

Modern Design. Proven Performance.

The Airlite V3 Fly Reel blends sleek aesthetics with serious stopping power, creating a reel built for anglers who demand both performance and visual refinement. Designed by the same team behind Ross Reels in Montrose, Colorado, the V3 pairs modern engineering with saltwater-ready durability—making it equally comfortable on trout water, coastal flats, or anywhere strong fish test your drag system.

Finished in deep charcoal smoke with satin olive accents, this reel stands apart visually while delivering the reliability needed when pressure rises.

Built for Versatility Across Fresh and Salt

At the core of the V3 is a sealed, saltwater-resistant drag system engineered for smooth, dependable stopping power with impressively low startup inertia—protecting lighter tippets while maintaining control over hard-running fish. Precision CNC machining creates tight tolerances and aggressive porting, reducing unnecessary weight while enhancing its large-arbor retrieval performance.

Its fully ambidextrous design allows anglers to quickly switch between left- and right-hand retrieve, while optional spare spools make it easy to carry multiple line setups for changing conditions.
