About Bauer Fly Reel
Innovation and cutting edge technology is what Jon Bauer introduced to fly fishing over a decade ago. The award winning MacKenzie large arbor reel revolutionized fly fishing design forcing every major manufacturer to follow. Bauer has continued to advance fly reel design by developing and testing new technology. Our products are put to the test daily by our customers, guides and staff. Our goal is to step outside the norm to pursue superior performance and not to accept convention as "good enough". Our passion for fly fishing drives our goal to create innovative, quality products that enhance the fly fishing experience. Join us in the pursuit of excellence.
All Bauer reels are precision machined 100% aerospace bar stock aluminum and stainless steel construction for maximum strength and corrosion protection. Sealed precision stainless steel ball bearings are used, with no plastic parts or bushings. The large arbor spools have an exposed palming rim for additional control and a quick release mechanism. The patented Bauer "zero-backlash" drag clutch makes a seamless engagement of the large diameter Cork/FXB polymer disc drag which delivers ultra smooth low startup inertia. This system yields a silent retrieve with a crisp outgoing click
The Cork/FXB polymer disc drag sets Bauer ahead of the competition. The friction properties of Cork are mated with the anti-friction properties of FXB polymer to develop a drag system that takes advantage of the best qualities of both materials.
The system runs smooth and consistent without fluctuation, run after run. This critical function can not be tested at the fly shop, but only on the water hooked up. So get hooked up with the Bauer smooth drag and start landing bigger fish.

Bauer reels are designed and manufactured in the U.S.A. Every reel is crafted and given its final inspection by our staff in Ashland, Oregon. The reels have a lifetime warranty and are serviced by the same people who build them. We've completed and moved into our new building in Ashland, Oregon. Click the image below to view our gallery.
