JMC JMC Astral BG Fly Reel

The companion with a refined design, combining quality materials and smooth operation.

Technical analysis & sensations: The JMC Astral BG fly reel stands out as soon as you hold it with a feeling of quality and lightness. Designed to offer exceptional reel fluidity, it releases tension without jerkiness and allows for handling ultra combative fish without fear. The large spool (wide arbor) favors quick retrieval of the silk and redoubles the effort when the fish is taking the current; while the lightweight alloy machined design reduces fatigue during long sessions at the water's edge. The feel is reassuring, the click discreet and the progressivity of the brake perceptible from the first meter.

Robustness & protection: Designed for demanding freshwater, Astral BG relies on a resilient anodization and machining tolerances that limit the impact of water and corrosive effects. The result: a reliable reel season after season, which retains its adjustment and smoothness even after many drifts.

Expert advice: Use this reel for trout fishing in rivers and lakes, and for all fly fishing where brake finesse and quick recovery make the difference. Pair it with a span translate="no">canne 8'6"-9' depending on the line, and go for WF or DT lines to take advantage of the wide arbor. Ideal in dry, nymphs or small streamer, it provides appreciable combat comfort on energetic fish.

Key Features:

• Brake: progressive and silky for precise control
• Arbor: wide for quick recovery
• Construction: lightweight alloy machined, anti-corrosion anodization
• Compatibility: WF & DT lines, freshwater

Conclusion: The JMC Astral BG is a logical choice for the demanding fly fisherman who is looking for smoothness, durability and performance on trout and modest predators, all while maintaining lightness and ergonomics on a daily basis.
