Hanak Superb H Reels
Introducing the Hanak Superb H Reels, modern fly reels that build upon the legacy of its predecessor, the Superb XP. Designed with a practical Large Arbor design, the Superb H is perfect for dry fly enthusiasts and Euro Nymphing specialists alike. Its precisely crafted closed cage design protects delicate nymph leaders, ensuring they remain undamaged during use. The ultra-smooth drag, adjustable with precision, safeguards fine tippets, while high-quality ball bearings provide silky-smooth operation. Crafted from lightweight and durable 6061 aluminum and stainless steel components, the Superb H is built to last. Featuring an exclusive H-Design on the back to commemorate Hanak’s 25th anniversary, this reel adds a stylish touch to fly rods in the #1 to #5 weight classes. Available in two models, the Superb H caters to all aspects of trout and grayling fishing, offering excellent value for both beginners and professionals alike.
Designed to perfectly complement the high-performing rods from the same range.
Hanak’s Superb H reels are finished in mat olive glare-reducing shade. Modern, ultra-large arbor reel is fully machined and made from 6061-grade air-aluminum bar stock in combination with stainless steel. Thanks to the large arbor design, it limits the tangling and damaging of the fly line and significantly speeds up reeling. The unique closed cage prevents tangling and dragging of long, fine leaders out of the reel. The smooth function is guaranteed by two ball bearings in combination with a super-roller bearing. The sensitive and reliable drag allows the usage of fine leaders.

I recently purchased the HANAK Superb XP fly reel. When I first started fly and nymph fishing I thought fly reels were little more than something to hold your fly-line. As I became more experienced and successful at Euronymphing, I stared to hook and play larger trout. Too often, I would lose them shortly after hooking them. I decided it was time to upgrade to a quality reel and purchased the Superb XP. The reel is very well made. It is light, very smooth and the large arbor and awesome drag allow the angler to finesse those 20” rainbows efficiently and securely. My confidence in netting all fish, large and small, has seriously improved since purchasing the HANAK Superb XP reel. It is very aptly named, Superb! I highly recommend it!

Had mine for 8 months. Great performance with a super tight tolerance. For a full caged/framed reel for $215.00 a great value in my opinion. FYI the tolerance is tight so you need to keep it out of the dirt.

Why pay over $500 for a light weight reel. The XP is as good as the rest.

The H35 Supurb Reel is a very nice reel. Smooth operating with great visual appeal. It compliments the Adams Max Black 10′ 6″ 3wt Fly rod perfectly with excellent balance. The dark Olive color and machined frame makes this reel look classy. Closed frame keeps your mono rig on the spool. Thanks to FrostyFly for providing great gear at great prices!
