White River Fly Shops CV2 Fly Reels
All White River Fly Shops items are actually what you might consider the
Bass Pro Shop house brand equipment. Most of the White River items are very
respectable in quality and workmanship, and they tend to be priced in the mid-range.
This reel, for example, currently retails for $120 to $130, depending on the size you
choose. We tested the medium-sized reel, which seems to be most appropriate for
most Missouri trout fishing destinations. This reel surprised us, however. It's made
from aluminum alloy, so it's very lightweight yet also very sturdy, and it's action
and drag are downright slick. If this reel had a different brand name on it, it would
sell for at least double was Bass Pro is charging for it, and you'd be happy to own it.
You may question our sincerity, but we can't come up with a complaint on this one. You can
purchase the reel from Bass Pro Shop by clicking the picture below. NO, we do not
earn a commission on the sale. (Grade A)

I wanted to add to the review of the White River CV2 fly reel. I recently purchaced this reel and am very impressed
with it. It is very light and the drag is as smooth as silk. I did a lot of shopping around before buying the CV2, and I am sure
that I got the most for my money. My only complaint (if you can call it that) is that the emblem on the side fell off. Great reel
for all anglers.
Thanks for backing us up, Miles.
