Greys Tail AW Fly Reel
Built to handle both freshwater and saltwater fishing situations without breaking the bank, Greys’ Tail AW Fly Reel sets a new benchmark for performance in a die-cast reel platform. The Tail AW combines a durable aluminum construction, a sealed carbon disc drag, and a large arbor platform capable of producing serious stopping power to create a reel that’s ready for everything from striped bass on a sandy flat to a chromed-out steelhead. With corrosion-resistant finishing and smooth drag performance exceeding 10 pounds, the Tail AW is ready for everything from large trout and bass to inshore saltwater species, delivering capability often found in reels costing significantly more.
Design
All-Water Large Arbor Platform – Greys’ Tail AW is built around a modern large arbor design that improves retrieval speed while maintaining proper balance on heavier freshwater and saltwater rods. Its streamlined industrial frame offers both strength and efficiency, making it suitable for a wide range of species and environments. The reel also features a simple left-to-right retrieve conversion, allowing anglers to easily configure the reel for their preferred retrieve direction.
Finish
Corrosion-Resistant Finish – Constructed from die-cast aluminum, the Tail AW undergoes two separate machining processes to remove excess material and refine the reel’s overall structure. The reel is then treated with an anodizing pre-treatment followed by a durable painted finish, creating a corrosion-resistant coating designed to withstand harsh saltwater conditions while maintaining a clean black and grey appearance.
Materials
Machined Die-Cast Aluminum Construction – The Tail AW features a high-quality die-cast aluminum construction that is precision machine-finished for improved rigidity and reduced weight. This process allows Greys to produce a strong, durable frame with refined aesthetics while keeping the reel lightweight enough for extended use across a range of angling scenarios.
Drag
Sealed Carbon Disc Drag System – This reel incorporates a sealed carbon fiber disc drag system designed to deliver smooth, consistent pressure even under demanding conditions. Capable of generating over 10 pounds of drag, the system provides the stopping power needed for powerful fish while maintaining smooth startup. The sealed design helps protect internal components from salt, sand, and debris, ensuring reliable performance in both freshwater and saltwater environments.
Arbor Size
Large Arbor – A large arbor spool improves line pickup speed and reduces line memory, helping anglers recover slack quickly during long runs. This design also improves backing capacity and overall balance, making it well suited for 7wt through 10wt setups commonly used in larger freshwater and saltwater fisheries.
Warranty
Greys’ Warranty – As of March 2026, Greys’ fly reels are backed by the manufacturer against defects in materials and workmanship for the first five years of ownership. In order to be eligible for this warranty, your reel must be registered with Greys within 60 days of purchase.
