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

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

The BVK reel is designed to complement TFO’s BVK rod series with a lighter, more performance-oriented build. It features a large arbor design and a smooth disc drag housed in a machined aluminum frame. The reel keeps weight low while maintaining enough drag authority for larger trout, bass, and light saltwater use, making it a natural choice for anglers building a fast-action performance setup.

TFO NTR

The NTR series is TFO’s fully machined reel platform built for greater durability and drag consistency. It uses a sealed carbon fiber and stainless steel drag system that delivers smooth resistance across a wide adjustment range. With its large arbor spool and strong backing capacity, the NTR is suited for larger freshwater species, steelhead, and many saltwater applications where a reel must handle long runs and sustained pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are TFO fly reels good quality?
TFO reels are widely respected for delivering dependable performance at accessible prices. Their construction and drag systems are built for durability rather than flash, and they are backed by TFO’s well known lifetime warranty and no fault replacement policy.

What backing capacity do TFO reels have?
Most TFO reels are sized to hold a matched fly line plus roughly 100 to 150 yards of 20 lb backing depending on reel size. This is more than sufficient for most trout fishing, while larger sizes in the NTR series provide additional capacity for steelhead, salmon, and light saltwater species.
