About the Bauer RVR
With the RVR series, the traditional American company Bauer has once again made a big splash. After three years of development, these fly reels not only make a bold statement in terms of design but also shake up the premium segment from a technical standpoint. When creating the modern design, the experienced reel builders quickly realized how challenging it would be to machine such a complex fly reel. The complexity and double-anodized design of the RVR would have been too difficult to achieve on a conventional 3-axis machine, so they sought out the latest available 5-axis machines. Successfully, as the result clearly proves. The workmanship of the Bauer RVR fly reels is beyond reproach and flawless in every respect. Minimal tolerances, beautifully chamfered edges, delicate yet strong spokes, and a grippy drag knob that adjusts as smoothly as butter—these are just some of the highlights. With different models, the RVR series covers most typical scenarios in modern fly fishing.
The Bauer RVR handles everything from delicate dry fly fishing on small streams to demanding stillwater fishing for hard-fighting rainbows or saltwater fishing for sea trout along the Baltic coast. The different models feature a large arbor design, which drastically reduces line memory and allows large amounts of line to be retrieved quickly. This is especially enjoyable with the beautiful hardwood handle. During the fight, the RVR’s sealed carbon drag system works with 100% reliability, and the impressive drag pressure can be adjusted with great precision. This allows you to fish with fine tippet. Also, because the drag engages instantly and incredibly smoothly!
With its jet-black finish, colorful highlights, and laser-engraved accents, the RVR pairs beautifully with any trout rod. A gorgeous, top-class fly reel we fell in love with instantly. It impresses with its unique design, outstanding build quality, and reliability, making it a trusted companion for many years of trout, grayling, or barbel fishing.
RVR 4/5: The line and backing capacity, drag, and weight of this reel are designed specifically for larger trout, bigger waters, longer casts, and the more varied techniques associated with 4- and 5-weight rods. Whether you’re fishing with a floating line or a light sink tip, dry flies, or nymphs—this is the ideal reel for you!
