February 1, 2011 (San Francisco, CA): Old-school anglers take note. With the growing popularity of Red Truck’s proven Diesel Series of fly rods, Red Truck raises the bar again with its traditional series of Red Truck Diesel fly reels.

Old meets new: Fully-machined from bar-stock, aircraft-grade aluminum, then anodized for a long life of use, these traditionally-styled fly reels are anticipating your next fishing trip. The rim-mounted drag adjustment knob awaits your fingers to fine tune the “click and pawl” drag system. The exposed palming rim is there for you when added drag pressure becomes necessary. Classic porting reduces reel weight and provides that vintage look. The sweet sound of the click and pawl drag will announce “fish on.” A removable brass line guard reduces line wear, while adding to that classic look. Each reel comes in a handsome leather-capped, padded reel pouch.


The Secret: Working with one of the world’s premier fly reel manufacturers, Red Truck leveraged its buying power to design and manufacture a world class fly reel for the traditionally minded fly angler.

The Line Up: The initial Red Truck Diesel series of fly reels is offered in the most popular sizes: 3/4 (for lighter trout use), 5/6 (perfect for all-around trout applications) and 7/8 (designed for steelhead and sea run fish). More models are slated for production in the near future.
The Ultimate Outfit: Red Truck Diesel fly reels will work with any existing quality fly rod. However, if you’re searching for the perfect outfit, make sure to pair up a Red Truck Diesel fly reel with one of Red Truck’s popular, Diesel Fly Rods. They not only balance perfectly, but cosmetically complement one another.

See For Yourself: To examine Red Truck’s new Diesel series of fly reels, visit either Leland’s Sonoma Ranch location or the downtown San Francisco, California store. You can also take advantage of Leland’s 365 day return policy and see for yourself at home.


The Red Truck Challenge: Red Truck is so confident in their Diesel series of fly reels, that they bravely request you compare them against your current fly reels. Regardless of brand and price tag, they believe it will be your new favorite fly reel. If it isn't, they want you to send it back for a full refund.

The Red Truck Warranty: Red Truck proudly stands behind its Diesel fly reels. If during normal use, your Diesel fly reel should not perform to your satisfaction, contact them directly. Red Truck will make it right!

Bottom Line: Classic styling meets contemporary performance. Acoustically perfect…sounds like a “real” fly reel should. The reel your grandfather should have fished.
