CELEBRATING NINE YEARS OF PARTNERSHIP
New for Spring 2025, the limited Winston-edition RVR features a stunning
Winston Green anodization. Built with industry-leading 5-Axis machining, optimized backing capacity, and a large arbor for twice the line pick-up, this special RVR celebrates a decade of partnership between Bauer Fly Reel and the R.L. Winston Rod Company. Each reel is dual-anodized in brilliant Winston Green with nickel silver highlight, has a special Winston/Bauer laser inscription on the spool cap, and are individually numbered from 1 to 300, honoring both brands’ commitment to high-performance, beautifully crafted, and ultra-smooth rods and reels.
5-Axis
Bauer’s 5-Axis CNC technology allows for multiple levels of depth in the spool face, creating finer spokes, more
reinforced angles, and tighter tolerances. This results in optimized backing capacities, faster line retrieval, perfect
rod-reel balance, and a premium surface finish with eye-catching symmetry
Zero Backlash Clutch
The Zero Backlash Clutch locks down instantly without slipping, even under maximum drag. With zero startup inertia, the reel offers consistent resistance from the beginning of a run to the end, reducing break-offs and allowing confident fishing with light tippet. The simplicity of design, larger components, and non-corrosive materials ensure reliability and smooth consistent performance every time the reel is put to the test.
Debris Sealed Carbon Drag
Bauer’s Carbon drag system offers the ultimate in durability and performance. Keeping sand, dirt, and mud out while allowing the system to dry. The debris sealed carbon drag will keep you on the water while always offering smooth consistent drag.
