Precision Built for the Flats

Built by fly fishing and aerospace engineers with more than 80 years of combined experience, the Old Mariner 8 Standard Drag Fly Reel is engineered for flats and inshore fishing in demanding saltwater environments.

The dual-sided frame virtually eliminates spool flex while keeping the drag, spool and fully sealed ceramic bearings precisely aligned under load. The sealed drag delivers smooth, maintenance-free performance and adjusts from free spool to full lock-down in 2.25 turns.

Lightweight at just 7.4 ounces and designed around an 8-weight line, the Old Mariner 8 combines the capacity, strength and control needed for serious inshore and flats fishing.

Testimonials

"One of the smoothest drag systems you will ever encounter. I've been fishing the 8 and 10 weight reels for a few months. Bullet proof, and drag tension is so easy to set. I am surrounded by the salt and have dropped, submerged and abused these reels. Paul is one of the most experienced, talented, fly reel manufacturer's you will ever meet. He has always stood behind his products and that goes back over 30 years. You will not be disappointed, I promise!"

-Guy Tillotson

Over 10 years of development by legendary fly reel maker Paul Conover, the Old Mariner fly reel is literally the smoothest and strongest reel i have ever had the opportunity to use. Built with a dual frame that supports the spool eliminating bearing wear, and a drawbar type sealed drag that has what seems like zero inertia start up along with materials that creates a weight that is actually lighter than other reels, there is really no equal - even comparing reels at twice the cost. Built in the USA, Paul stands behind this reel with a warranty that covers repair at no charge including shipping back to him for the life of the owner. No questions asked. For saltwater or fresh, tarpon, red fish, steelhead, or salmon and many others - in my mind - no other reel comes close.
