Key Features

  • Orvis Scientific Anglers System1 678S Fly Reel Used Durable Cast Housing
    Designed for fly fishing enthusiasts, this pre-owned Scientific Anglers System1 678S fly reel features a robust die-cast one-piece housing that offers durability and reliability. Originally released by Scientific Anglers, a subsidiary of Orvis known for its fly lines with the SA logo, this reel shares the same diameter as the System 1 series model 456 but with increased thickness for added strength. The reel has been serviced and cleaned after photography, ensuring it is fully functional and ready for immediate use.
    Key specifications include a reel diameter of approximately 75mm, spool diameter of 65mm, spool thickness of 22mm, and a weight of 123 grams. It offers a switchable retrieve system for right or left-hand operation (currently set for right-hand retrieve). The reel's construction emphasizes durability with minimal external wear, showing some minor scratches consistent with use. It is suitable for various fly fishing applications and is offered at an accessible price point compared to Hardy-made counterparts, which are often more expensive. Multiple models including the smaller capacity 456 and larger 678 are available, with prices adjusted based on cosmetic condition.
