Taylor Revolution Z fly reel

Several years ago, Matthew Taylor came up with a design for a better fly reel for budget buyers.  He funded his idea through Kickstarter and Taylor Fly Fishing was born. As Taylor's customers expanded their fishing horizons, Matt decided to upgrade his offerings to meet their needs. The Revolution has been their top-line reel the past couple of years. It's sealed, stacked disc drag system offered an incredible 25 pounds of drag pressure!

For 2019, the Revolution has been replaced by the Revolution Z. Lighter, smoother drag, and zero inertia. To make the reel as light as possible - to help balance the new ultralight saltwater rods like the Winston Salt Air and Sage Salt HD - the frame is made of carbon fiber. According to Matt, it's the toughest carbon fiber on the planet!  The Revolution Z comes in four sizes, to handle lines from 4-weight to 12-weight. MSRP is $460 to $550.  It also comes in multiple colors that are the Taylor trademark.
