Aeroflex Salt Reel
Diamondback’s Aeroflex Salt reels are heavily ported five-axis machined reels with smart design features for optimal performance on the water. Developed over two full seasons of rigorous field testing and machining adjustments, the Aeroflex Salt reels are a smooth and powerful match for the most demanding species in Saltwater and Freshwater. Available in 7/8 and 9/10 sizes that cover the popular larger line weights, Aeroflex Salt reels feature a heavy-duty enclosed frame beautifully anodized in aqua blue, while the spool and drag knob are polished chrome aluminum, featuring an aqua blue “diamond fish” logo on the drag hub and spool retainer.
The wide, oversized drag knob with a raised surface can be easily gripped and turned without looking, helping you focus on the fish when the fight requires you to quickly release or apply additional drag pressure. The powerful enclosed drag column provides smooth force well beyond saltwater applications, so you will never run out of stopping power when you need it, and the vented drag column prevents water retention in the drag while wet. Aeroflex Salt reels feature a light audible click on the retrieve and when the drag is engaged. All Aeroflex reels feature a one-way clutch bearing that can be flipped to switch the retrieve from left hand to right hand.

Customer Reviews
Just picked up an Aeroflex 9/10 saltwater fly reel, and was very pleased with its looks, feel. The reel is a beauty to look at, and I’m a big fan of how easy it is to palm the drag when, and if you need to slow a fish down. The reel was nicely balanced with the Aeroflex 10 wt saltwater rod. Highly recommend
The Aeroflex 7/8 Saltwater reel, is esthetically appealing. This reel is truly form meets function. I like it so much I also ordered the 9/10. Plenty of stopping power, sealed drag and large arbor for line retrieval, make this well priced reel a competitor for any $800.00 to $1000.00 reel out there.
I just recently received this top shelf reel in time to catch and release several jumbo bonito and striped bass. Everything about this reel screams premium from the drag to the drag adjustment and balance with the 9,10 and even the 11 weight AeroFlex Salt rods I own. My guide clients absolutely love them! The price points are a no brainer for premium quality of this nature. I’m very pleased!😁
