Its geometry has been carefully optimized with large arbor diameters and narrower spool widths to improve line handling and retrieval efficiency. Combined with a fully sealed, smooth-running drag system and a stable, lightweight construction, Fario performs equally well with fine leaders and hard-fighting fish.

AttributesSealed Drag SystemLarge Arbor-DesignLH/RH RetrieveCNC-machined constructionRefined for the Modern Trout Angler
The Fario LW, predecessor to the new Fario reel, was Guideline's first truly dedicated trout fly reel, developed specifically for the demands of modern trout fishing. For this latest generation of the Fario fly reel, the goal was not to reinvent it, but to further develop a proven platform. The result is a stronger, more refined and more user-friendly reel that retains everything anglers appreciated in the original design and is the ultimate choice for light tackle species like brown trout, char, grayling and rainbow trout.Reinforced core & structure
A key focus of the redesign has been to improve structural rigidity throughout the reel. The internal architecture has been strengthened with a reinforced central core and a more robust spool construction, reducing flex under load and improving overall stability. The result is a reel that feels solid, precise, and dependable when fighting strong fish. Balance has been carefully considered throughout the Fario range. Reel weights have been matched to modern lightweight trout rods, while a recessed reel foot positions the reel closer to the rod's center axis, improving balance and reducing rotational torque during casting.Refined Drag System
The drag system has been refined to improve functionality while maintaining the performance of Guideline's proven sealed carbon drag design. Delivering up to 1.2 kg (2.65 lbs) of smooth and consistent braking force, the fully sealed system protects critical components from water and debris while offering excellent protection for fine tippets. The updated drag system features a 630° (1¾-turn) adjustment range, significantly expanding the range of available drag settings compared to the previous generation. The longer adjustment range makes it easier to fine-tune drag pressure, particularly when fishing fine tippets and targeting large fish. The updated internal layout also makes servicing, cleaning, and retrieve conversion easier than before.

Scandinavian Design
The updated Fario has been subtly restyled to align with Guideline's Scandinavian design philosophy, where functionality and simplicity go hand in hand. CNC-machined diamond textures provide a secure grip at key contact points, while carefully profiled spool arms contribute to both strength and weight reduction. Every detail has been designed with performance, durability, and usability in mind.
Optimized Geometry
All Fario models feature geometry optimized for modern trout fishing. The outer diameter has been increased by 5%, improving retrieval rates while helping reduce fly line memory. At the same time, spool width has been reduced by 20% to improve line management and reduce line stack during retrieval. Together, these changes create a more efficient reel matched to today's fly lines, capacities, and fishing techniques.
Models & Finishes
The Fario fly reel is available in three dedicated trout sizes: ±4, ±5, and ±6, using Guideline's new reel sizing system developed around contemporary trout setups. The reels are offered in three carefully selected color options, Charcoal, Bronze, and Champagne, to complement a wide range of rods and personal preferences. Spare spools are available in all sizes and colors. Both reels and spare spools are delivered in a durable neoprene case with Velcro closure. The case can be used with the reel mounted on the rod, or as standalone protection during storage and transport.
