Snowbee XSD Cartridge Reel

Model

Built to the same exacting standards as the CNC machined XS reel, the new XSD offers the same, outstanding XS drag system, but now in a lightweight low-cost Die-Cast body.

There are already many budget priced die-cast reels on the market, but most of them rely on poor quality, inadequate offset drag systems. The new Snowbee XSD breaks the mould and quite simply, there is no other reel on the market of this quality, at this price, with a drag system of this performance…or if there is, we’d like to know about it!

And that’s not just our opinion….in it’s first year, 2007 the new XSD780 came out top in the October Trout Fisherman “Best in Test” review of 16 Cartridge fly reels plus Total Fly Fishing’s Choice, in their review of the latest Trout Reels under £100 in September

XSD460 and XSD1112 Models

Following the huge success of the XSD780 we were immediately asked for a full range of reels in this new format…..so here they are. With the same drag and features as the XSD780, our two new models complete the range and we are confident it won’t be long before they are also winning awards!

XSD460

This model sits part way between the XS340 & XS560 for size. Designed to take lines between #4 & #6 wt, it will appeal to both the river fisher and the small stillwater angler.

The XSD460 comes with a spare cartridge spool and additional spools are readily available

The XSD780

This fabulous new reel offers XS performance at an entry-level price. The quality die-cast frame is formed from a lightweight alloy, which is then powder coated & oven baked for a tough, chip & saltwater resistant finish. The drag system is identical to that used in the well proven XS reels and features the same multi-disc Stainless steel & Broflon drag system. Never before has there been a reel of this performance at this price.

It also comes, either as an individual reel body with a single cartridge spool, or as a kit comprising one XSD Cartridge Reel body, with 5 Cartridge spools, all packed in a neat, padded 5-Reel/Spool Cordura case.

Die cast in aluminium alloy for lightness and affordable durability

Powder coated and baked for chip and saltwater resistance

Large arbor diameter cassette spools for faster retrieve and minimal line memory

Powerful, silky smooth drag system with huge 22.6cm2 drag surface area

Fully ventilated frame & spool, for fast heat dissipation and weight reduction

Composite knurled grip drag control on back of reel for instant response Reliable stainless steel internal working parts Easy left to right hand conversion

Colour: Satin Pewter

XSD1112

The XSD1112 is an extra large salmon reel with 10% more capacity than the existing XS1112 machined model. By increasing the width of the spool, this model will swallow the largest of Spey lines, plus adequate backing…all for an amazing price!

Available either as an individual reel body with just one cartridge, or our new Salmon Kit consisting of a reel body and 4 cartridge spools. Team up the kit with four of our award winning salmon lines and cover every salmon fishing condition you are likely to encounter. These reels are built to last and are perfectly at home in saltwater, or on the local reservoir.
