Description: Sold in two sizes – 4/6 and 7/9 – the wide-arbour Airframe is simplicity personified. Made from fibre-reinforced resin with a stainless steel one-way bearing, the Airframe is not a fancy reel but it is a versatile reel.

FM short review: I didn’t expect wonders from my first Airframe four years ago but it delivered service in spades. It’s tough as old boots, easy to convert to the directional wind of your choice, completely corrosion free and has a good drag system.
