TFO Fly Reels | NXT, BVK, and NTR Series

Temple Fork Outfitters builds fly reels with the same philosophy behind their rods, practical design, dependable drag systems, and pricing that keeps a complete setup within reach. The NXT, BVK, and NTR series cover everything from everyday trout fishing to larger freshwater and light saltwater applications.

TFO NXT Black Label

The NXT is TFO’s straightforward workhorse reel. Built with a large arbor design and durable cast aluminum construction, it features a smooth disc drag system suited for most trout and light steelhead fishing. It balances well with mid-weight rods and offers dependable performance for anglers who want a reliable reel without adding unnecessary cost to their setup.

TFO BVK SD

TFO developed the BVK SD from the earlier BVK reel, adding a fully sealed drag made with Delrin and stainless steel. The sealed system keeps contaminants out and provides a broad adjustment range. Match the reel size to its published line and backing capacity.

TFO NTR

The NTR series is machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and uses a sealed cork disc drawbar drag system. Its large arbor design comes in four sizes from 3/4 to 9/10, with line and backing capacities for freshwater single-hand and two-hand fishing. Choose the size using TFO’s published capacity chart.
