The Orvis Battenkill Disc Fly Reel is the disc drag member of the Battenkill family and it is worth being clear about that up front because Orvis also sells a Battenkill Click-and-Pawl reel under the same name. This is the one with a real drag: a sealed Hydros inspired disc system running six carbon and stainless surfaces in a mid-arbor frame built for line weights 3 through 9. That combination is the whole point. You get the classic ported Battenkill profile that suits a Superfine a bamboo rod or a freshwater Helios plus enough braking to stop a fish that a click-and-pawl reel would only slow down.
