Built for the Flats. Ready for More.

Large enough for tarpon, dialed in for permit and redfish, the Old Mariner 9 Lever Drag is built for anglers who need serious stopping power without stepping up to an oversized offshore reel.

The lever drag moves smoothly from free spool to full lock-down in one turn, giving you immediate, precise control when a fish decides to run. A rigid dual-sided frame helps eliminate spool flex, while sealed ceramic bearings are designed for smooth, dependable performance season after season.

From sight-fishing the flats to putting the brakes on a big tarpon, the 9 Lever Drag delivers the simplicity, durability, and fishability Old Mariner reels are built around. CALL OR TEXT 754-218-4200 WITH ANY QUESTIONS

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.

It's Ridiculously smooth Paul, It really is!
