The Orvis Hydros IV Fly Reel in Green is a refined, lightweight large-arbor reel designed for 7–9 weight setups. Weighing just 6.6 oz and measuring 4 inches in diameter, it balances beautifully with a lighter-weight fly rod while delivering serious performance on the water.

• Fully sealed drag with carbon and stainless-steel washers. The Hydros IV’s drag system is designed for high strength and reliability, with zero start-up inertia so adjustments feel instant and predictable when a fish takes line.
• Improved, ergonomic drag knob. Reengineered for comfortable, precise control even after a long day on the water.
• Radiused reel foot for kink-free leader protection. A thoughtful design touch that helps protect your leader as you cast and retrieve.
• Tough, fully sealed drag clutch bearing. Sealing helps guard the clutch from the elements, extending the life of the drag mechanism.
• Matte Type II anodized finish in a bold green. A durable, corrosion-resistant finish that looks sharp and stands up to hard use.
• Efficient line handling with a true large-arbor design. The larger arbor reduces line stacking, delivers faster retrieves, and minimizes line coiling compared to traditional arbor reels.

Designed to deliver exceptional control when you’re deep in the take or making long casts to cover, the Hydros IV is built to perform in a variety of environments. It’s specifically tuned for line weights 7–9, combining strong drag performance with smooth, reliable operation that anglers can count on season after season. The reel’s balanced feel—thanks to its lightweight build—helps you fish longer with less fatigue, so you can focus on presentation and technique rather than gear weight.

Whether you’re chasing wary trout on a technical river, or casting to flats where bonefish may appear, the Hydros IV is engineered to respond instantly to your line pulls, with predictable drag feedback and minimal line management issues. It’s a purpose-built tool for serious anglers who demand precision, durability, and refined craftsmanship from their gear.
