Hanak Superb XP Reels
Hanak Superb XP Reels are one of the newest additions to the Hanak’s famous Superb XP Euro nymphing line, designed to perfectly complement the high-performing rods from the same range. These reels are truly superb and without a doubt earn the ‘XP’ (Extra Power) title.
These reels, finished in mat olive glare-reducing shade, are improved versions of Hanak’s world-known Superb Competition line reels. Modern, ultra-large arbor reel is fully machined, made from 6061-grade air-aluminum bar stock in combination with stainless steel. Thanks to the large arbor design, it limits 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.
Two models of different capacities available:
| Model | Capacity + Backing | Weight | Diameter | Width | Rod Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Superb XP 13 | WF3F + 30 m backing | 139 g | 83 mm | 38 mm | #0 – #3 |
| Superb XP 35 | WF5F + 50 m backing | 149 g | 90 mm | 38 mm | #3 – #5 |
Superb XP 13 is suitable for rods #0 to #3 weights and the Superb XP 35 model is great for rods of #3 to #5 weights.
HANAK Competition products are the result of long-term development and testing in cooperation with leading Czech fly fishermen. The quality tested by many competition winners is now available to all fly fishermen.

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.
