Following two-and-a-half years of research and development, our new pinnacle series of fly reels has been optimised to deliver application-specific, specialty performance for the modern migratory angler. Our contemporary Scandinavian design language evolves further in the Scandi fly reels, featuring more organic, softer curves in the overall aesthetic. Unparalleled 3D CNC machining delivers faceted spoke surfacing and arm profiling, which combine with a restrained dual-anodised palette to redefine design elegance.
Strategic weight minimisation
High-precision manufacturing tolerances have been vastly improved throughout our Scandi reels, delivering a new level of maximum braking power to our portfolio. Narrow, deeper, large-arbour spools with vertical walls accommodate the wider array of thicker-profiled modern shooting heads and prevent backing stack during intense fish fights. Strategic weight minimisation delivers pre-determined, accurately targeted lighter weights for counterbalancing modern single hand, switch and two-handed rods.
High torque titanium drag systems
Our proprietary, precision-tolerance braking systems combine titanium discs and carbon friction plates to deliver maximum strength with unprecedented longevity. 720° degrees of preset drag settings provides a purposeful range of drag pressure for more accurate sensitivity and pressure application, preventing excessive tension too quickly during the critical phase of the fight.
To eliminate failures in high-torque battles, a triple-stabilised core has been implemented for zero axial and radial run-out. Pre-loaded, press-fit bearings ensure perfect compatibility between spools and frames, preventing spool deflection and spool-to-frame contact. Twelve stainless steel compression springs engage with the titanium drag discs and carbon friction plates, ensuring a smoother, more consistent, sealed drag system capable of reaching unprecedented maximum torque ratings.
Extensive range & models
The Scandi range of fly reels is available in four different models that cover most types of migratory fishing — from single-hand rods in line weights #6–8, to switch and heavy double-hand rods rated for lines #11–13. They come in two colour-ways: Black with Bronze trim, and Black with Blue trim. All Scandi reels are delivered with left-hand retrieve as standard, but they are fully interchangeable and can easily be switched to right-hand retrieve.
To eliminate any guesswork regarding the line capacity of the Scandi fly reels, we’ve engraved detailed information on the inside of the reel foot. This includes specifications for backing, shooting line, and shooting head. Each reel comes in a soft yet durable neoprene pouch, featuring a structured grey exterior with black details and a bright Guideline orange interior.

The Guideline Scandi fly reels are precision-engineered for modern migratory fly fishing, featuring high-torque titanium drag systems, deep large-arbor spools, and ultra-smooth braking performance. Designed in Scandinavia and built for power, balance, and control in every fight, the Scandi range of fly reels is available in four different models that cover most types of migratory fishing — from single-hand rods in line weights #6–8, to switch and heavy double-hand rods rated for lines #11–13.
The Scandi #68 model balances single-hand rods perfectly, as well as lighter 10´-11´ switch rods, like our ULS 2.0.
The Scandi #79 is the natural choice for switch rods in #7 to #9 weights and is a perfect match for double-hand rods in #8/9 line weights.
The Scandi #911 works great with a large range of double-hand rods, covering from #8/9 to #10/11. It is the perfect fit for 13-14 #9/10 rods!
The Scandi #11+ is the reel for the big double-handers in 15-16 feet length, and line weights #10/11 and #11/12. It balances these beautifully.
