Product details
The Guideline Fario LW is a premium lightweight fly reel developed specifically for trout fishing. Its Truss X construction, inspired by the Guideline Vosso series, combines an elegant design with excellent structural strength.
The Large Arbor spool provides fast fly line retrieval and generous backing capacity, while the recessed reel foot improves rod balance and reduces rotational torque during casting.
SEALED DRAG SYSTEM
The Fario LW features a sealed drag system combining carbon and stainless steel discs.
The #2/4 and #4/6 models deliver up to 1.3 kg of drag, while the larger #6/8 offers up to 2 kg of braking power measured at the spool arbor.
A 360° adjustment range allows smooth and precise drag settings, from nearly free-spooling to firm resistance.
THREE SIZES AVAILABLE
#2/4 — Designed for lightweight trout rods, dry fly fishing and nymphing in rivers.
#4/6 — A versatile choice for trout fishing in rivers and lakes, particularly with #4 to #6 fly lines.
#6/8 — Provides additional backing capacity and stronger drag performance for large trout, sea trout, single-handed salmon fishing and Ultra Light Switch techniques.
CONSTRUCTION AND ERGONOMICS
The Truss X frame provides strength without unnecessary weight. Its Large Arbor design improves retrieval speed and helps reduce fly line memory.
An integrated tippet holder keeps loose leader ends secure and helps prevent tangles during storage and transport.
Each reel includes a protective nylon pouch that can also be used while the reel remains attached to the rod.
