The NOVA reel represents the dawn of a new era for Guideline fly reels. This model features a Polymer Cassette spools made from recycled PCR [Post Consumer Resins] and an Innovative, “Minimal-Touch” press release.

Through a continuation of Guideline's “Clean all the way” movement - which is their vision to significantly reduce their environmental impact as a business – the past 12 months has resulted in the most detailed and focused design study they've ever undertaken. Redefining how fly reels are designed, created and manufactured by blending innovative industrial design with low-impact, recycled raw materials means the NOVA fly reel is the most environmentally conscious reel they’ve ever built!

Empowering their vision to significantly reduce their environmental impact as anglers. Polymer Cassette spools made from recycled PCR [Post Consumer Resins] and an Innovative, “Minimal-Touch” press release design that allows for rapid changeover of cassette spools for the time sensitive competition angler. Every reel delivers with one cassette mounted on the frame + two extra, in total 3 cassettes delivered with each reel. Two colours available of the frame; Black and Stardust. The cassette plastic spool is always black in colour. Avaliable in one size - NOVA Cassette Fly Reel #68.

One important aspect of the NOVA fly reel is to understand the correlation between the Cassette #68 and the NOVA #79 – they are manufactured on THE SAME FRAME AND SPOOL SIZING! The only reason the cassette model has a slightly lower line capacity is that the plastic spool has a little smaller inside volume due to thicker walls. But important; the actual #68 and #79 spools and frames are FULLY INTERCHANGABLE! So in short, if you own a #68 Cassette and buy a standard NOVA #79, spools and frame from both reels can be mixed and matched anyway you like.
