Cabelas SLA Fly Reel

April 17th, 2010

The cabelas sla reel is now for sale on the market. But is it worth the price. This fly reel review of the cabelas sla model will cover the specifics.

SLA stands for Super Large Arbor, and this is what distinguishes the Cabelas SLA from the competition: the arbor is huge. You will notice in the pictures all the air, the space, in the reel. This has to be one of the lightest reels in its class. However it is still strong with specifically engineered construction with emphasis on sound structure.

The advantages of the SLA is quick line retrieval and better drag performance.

This is not our everyday reel but overall we do enjoy this reel, and pull it out on larger rivers and faster moving currents, when dropping under water wet flys. The fast retrieval allows us to avoid snags, which this reel is perfectly suited for. It is a favorite at record trout lake Henry's Lake in Island Park Idaho.

This product is no longer available in the Cabela's catalog, but is often brought back each season, usually in a fly rod and reel package deal.

In the end, this is a love or hate reel. Either you love it with a passion or you hate it. Although we haven't experienced it many have reported their reel breaking. Get more reviews from others here.
