When we designed the XS Reel in conjunction with British Fly
Reels back in 2001, we knew we had something special. So when we started work on a new reel design, we also knew it had to be something exceptional to follow in the footsteps of the XS…and the new Snowbee Geo is just that..
Machined from the best quality solid bar stock aluminium, the Geo really is the ultimate lightweight large arbor reel. By using every weight-reducing technique available, the new Geo checks in at 25% lighter than the XS, whilst still retaining its structural rigidity.
From the moment you first pick up a Geo, you realise you are handling something special. Hard anodised in a satin pewter finish, with brushed aluminium trim, the Geo is closer to a piece of artwork than a fly reel. Yet lurking below the surface is the latest design of multi-disc, centre drag systems, featuring polished stainless steel, glass fibre and Teflon/Rulon composite drag washers. A detented drag control provides a smooth, progressive drag, coupled with minimal start-up inertia. Whether you are fishing 2lb tippet for lightening-fast, wild Brownies, or coping with smash-takes from heavy overwintered Rainbows the Geo will take it all in its stride.
