Bauer remains focused on a simple objective: to manufacture precision reels that are

unmatched in terms of function and aesthetics. Considered the Swiss watch of fly reels, they

are designed to work perfectly and surpass your expectations. Whether your quarry is trout,

tarpon or steelhead, your reel must perform as intended to provide success.

Now owned by the R.L. Winston Rod Co. and built in Twin Bridges, Montana, the craftsmanship

of every Bauer reel reflects the renowned quality of a handcrafted Winston fly rod.

FEATURESMATERIALS

Bauer fly reels are designed and handcrafted in the USA and come with a lifetime warranty. They are

precision-machined to tolerances down to 1/1OOOth of an inch from aerospace bar stock aluminum and

stainless steel for maximum strength and corrosion resistance. The spool and carbon fiber drag system

rotate on sealed precision stainless steel ball bearings.

FULLY SEALED CARBON FIBER DRAG SYSTEM

Carbon Fiber is the perfect choice for a fly reel drag. Unlike cork, its performance is not dependent on

lubrication. And, unlike polymers, carbon isn’t affected by temperature changes. The Bauer Carbon Fiber

system is fully sealed and delivers silky smooth and consistent performance

in all conditions. No maintenance required.

THE BAUER CLUTCH

Our clutch provides a uniquely smooth and seamless engagement of the

drag and a silent retrieve. Manufactured from non-corrosive materials, it

is far more durable and reliable than the roller clutch bearing system

commonly used in other fly reels.

Introduced in 2017, our latest reel combines striking design

with superior, exceptionally smooth performance. Featuring a

narrow profile frame design, the SST offers a proven fully sealed

carbon fiber drag system, star drag knob operation and a variety

of star color options. As with all our reels, the SST is precision-

machined and built to meet the requirements of the most

demanding anglers and angling situations. An extraordinary

new reel for 2 through 9wt lines.

THE NEW BAUER

SST REEL

COLOR OPTIONS: SST Reels are available in Silver/Clear anodized aluminum with Red hub and Star Dial in the following colors:Silver/Clear, Black, Dark Green, Red or Blue.

NEW NAMING PROTOCOL: For the new SST, we’ve simplified the naming protocol for each reel. Example: SST 4 is ideal for a 4wt line. However, each SST can be used with lines one size smaller or larger depending on the user’s preference.
