NOVA Spools

Cassette reels allow anglers to swiftly switch between different fly lines by simply swapping out the lightweight plastic spools. This feature is particularly beneficial when adapting to varying fishing conditions, such as changing from a floating line to a sinking line without the need for multiple reels. Our innovative, “Minimal-Touch” press release design allows for rapid changeover of cassette spools for the time sensitive competition angler. 

Purchasing additional cassette spools is generally more affordable than buying traditional spare spools. This cost-effectiveness enables anglers to carry a variety of lines suited for different fishing scenarios without significant expense. Every NOVA Cassette fly reel delivers with one cassette mounted on the frame + two extra, in total 3 cassettes delivered with each reel. 

An important aspect of the NOVA fly reel is the correlation between the Cassette #68 and the NOVA #79 – they are manufactured on the same frame and have the same spool sizing. The only reason the cassette model has a slightly lower line capacity is that the plastic spool has a little smaller inner volume due to material composition. But important; the NOVA Cassette #68 and NOVA #79 spools and frames are fully interchangeable, so if you own a #68 Cassette reel and buy a standard NOVA #79, spools and frame from both reels can be mixed and matched anyway you like. 

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 we’ve ever built! Empowering our vision to significantly reduce our environmental impact as anglers. Constructed from recycled raw-material ingots, the reel is an aluminum marvel committed to sustainability.

Built with a built-in counterbalance for minimized componentry, the NOVA reel manages to maintain consistent weights despite significant material upgrades on componentry, opting for alloy over polymer. This commitment to innovation and sustainability positions the Nova fly fishing reel as a top-tier choice for anglers seeking both performance and eco-conscious design.
