Cheeky Drip Fly Reel

The Cheeky Drip Fly Reel is built to deliver premium performance in a lightweight package without the premium price tag. Its distinctive 5-sided porting gives the frame and spool a unique look while reducing weight, creating a reel that's comfortable to fish for long days on the water.

The Drip features a fully sealed stacked-disc drag system with up to 12 lbs of stopping power, giving anglers the control needed when targeting larger trout, bass, steelhead, salmon, carp, and saltwater species. Its narrow spool helps reduce uneven line stacking during retrieval, while the increased spool diameter provides faster line pickup without sacrificing line capacity.

A CNC-machined aerospace aluminum frame provides strength and durability without unnecessary weight, while the push-button spool release makes changing spools quick and straightforward. Available in 325, 375, and 425 sizes, the Drip is designed to cover a wide range of freshwater and saltwater applications.
