  • Our take on the Classic Spey 7/8/9 Spool

    The Redington Classic Spey is a machined 6061-T6 aluminum reel built for two-handed trout spey, switch and spey rods. The 7/8/9 size is the largest of three, a 4-1/4 inch mid-arbor wide-spool reel with a triple-pawl drag, a loud audible click and a large palming rim. It converts between right- and left-hand retrieve and comes with a nylon case and a lifetime warranty. Against pricier machined spey reels it trades refinement for a simple, durable pawl drag and a strong click; shop staff note the spring runs tighter than most Hardy reels, giving more tension out of the box.

    About the Classic Spey 7/8/9 Spool

    It is the 7/8/9 size, a 4-1/4" spey reel for swinging flies for trout, steelhead and salmon.

    The reel series has a mid-arbor, wide-spool design with classic ports and traditional looks. It is CNC machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, anodized, and uses brass components. The ported arbor lets backing dry quickly, and the design is weighted to balance two-handed rods.

    The series uses an adjustable triple-pawl drag system with an audible click. A sizeable palming rim lets the angler add pressure on large fish. The reel converts from right-hand to left-hand retrieve.

    Questions and answers

    What rod weights does the 7/8/9 size suit?
    It is the 4-1/4 inch spey size, intended for 7/8/9 two-handed spey rods. The smaller 5/6/7 and 3/4/5 sizes cover switch and trout spey setups.
    Can I switch it to left-hand retrieve?
    Yes. The reel is convertible from right- to left-hand retrieve.
    Does it have a disc drag?
    No. It uses an adjustable triple-pawl drag with brass components, plus a large palming rim for extra pressure.
    What comes in the box?
    The reel and a nylon reel case. A lifetime warranty covers it.
    Is the click loud?
    Yes. Redington calls it high-decibel, and the audible click is one of its selling points for hearing a fish run.
    How does it compare with Hardy spey reels?
    It costs far less and uses a pawl drag rather than Hardy's disc systems, but its spring runs tighter than most Hardy reels.
