The Origin II marks a whole new standard for us here at Reel Fly Fishing, by incorporating specific design and performance-orientated features into a fly reel.
The Origin II is our most technically advanced fly reel to date and designing the reel from start to finish in-house (Designed By Reel Fly Fishing Owner, Shaun Carstens) means we have an intricate knowledge of not just how the reel performs but how it will last!
The original Origin was an evolution of the brand and showed that performance and good aesthetics don’t need to be hidden behind a high price tag. Work began in 2020 on version II, knowing that following the original Origin would always be a hard task. However, we do believe we have stepped up to the challenge and created a worthy successor and a new benchmark for ourselves.
The Origin II delivers the latest in design tolerances, size, and functionality and incorporates our beautifully smooth sealed carbon drag system. The DNA heritage of the Origin range of fly rods runs through strongly on the read of the Origin II 5.6.7 fly reel. This helical-inspired design creates a unique style of fly reel that also does away with traditional spool hoops to really showcase our vision. A spool hoop reduces backing drying time and adds unnecessary weight on lighter fly reels.
The drag system has been optimized for almost no free spooling as well as remaining exceptionally smooth with zero startup inertia. Tipping the scales at a mere 138g while still housing sealed drag shows just how far we went to the reel light but still extremely strong and durable.
The slim side profile was a key functional design we chose as a thinner profile result in less bulk, more balance, and better handling. The thinner profile houses a deep V-shaped spool that can carry ample backing and aids in an exceptionally quick retrieve.
The Origin II 5.6.7wt makes for an ideal Euro and Czech nymphing reel due to its lightweight nature, full frame design, oversized thin arbor, and exceptionally silky smooth drag system.
The Origin II is not so much an evolution but rather, a revolution!
