Guideline Aeon Black/Gold Fly Reel

Product detailed description

Guideline Aeon Black/Gold Fly Reel is a premium fly reel for switch rods and double-handed salmon rods, combining a timeless reel silhouette with modern drag performance, precise CNC machining and a refined Scandinavian design. The Black/Gold version has a technical, elegant and slightly warmer look than the Black/Silver model, while keeping the same strong Aeon platform for demanding salmon, sea trout and larger fly fishing applications.

The reel is built around a CNC-machined T6061 aluminium construction, a full-frame body and a sealed carbon drag system with 7.5 kg of braking force. The drag is protected against water and dirt, has enough reserve for powerful fish and still remains smooth and controllable when fishing lighter tippets, running lines or long shooting heads. Aeon reels are supplied with left-hand retrieve, but can easily be converted to right-hand retrieve.

The Aeon series is also distinctive in sound and feel. Guideline uses an augmented acoustics concept to give the reel a clear, recognisable and more traditional sound in both directions. A practical detail is the engraved line capacity inside the reel foot, helping you choose the right line and backing setup without unnecessary guesswork.

Choosing the correct size is important with this model. #79 is the lightest option for switch rods and lighter double-handed rods, #911 is the stronger all-round size for longer double-handed rods around line classes 9/10 and 10/11, while #1113 is the largest version for big salmon rods and powerful double-handed setups.

A high-quality neoprene reel case with leather details is included. Spare spools are available in both Aeon colour versions.

What is the difference between #79, #911 and #1113?
