Description The Bauer RVR Microspey Fly Reel was purpose-built for the growing world of Trout Spey fishing. Rather than simply downsizing a larger reel design, Bauer engineered the Microspey from the ground up to meet the unique demands of modern two-handed trout anglers. At the heart of the design is a full-frame construction that prevents thin running lines from slipping between the spool and frame—an essential feature when fishing today's Skagit and Scandi systems. Whether you're swinging soft hackles, small intruders, or streamers for trout, steelhead, and half-pounders, the Microspey delivers dependable line control and smooth performance. Bauer carefully tuned the reel's weight to complement longer Trout Spey rods, creating a balanced setup that reduces fatigue and improves casting comfort throughout the day. The solid back design adds additional mass where it's needed most, helping offset the leverage of modern two-handed rods while maintaining a compact, refined profile. Inside, Bauer's renowned fully sealed carbon fiber drag system provides exceptionally smooth startup inertia and reliable fish-stopping power. From aggressive rainbow trout to unexpected steelhead encounters, the Microspey offers the confidence anglers expect from a premium American-made reel. Finished in Midnight Black with lasered accents, the RVR Microspey combines technical performance, elegant craftsmanship, and purpose-built Trout Spey functionality in one beautifully machined package. 3 Key Benefits Built Specifically for Trout Spey Designed around modern Skagit and Scandi systems instead of being a scaled-down version of a larger reel.
