Bauer RX fly reels were developed to cover a wide range of fishing environments – from small streams to demanding freshwater and saltwater applications. Featuring a timeless design and precise engineering, the RX series offers the perfect complement to all types of single-handed, switch, and trout spey rods. The RX series impresses with its versatility, reliability, and high-quality workmanship – ideal for anglers who demand the highest standards from their equipment.
High-quality technology and materials
The RX reels feature an extremely robust, corrosion-free body that endures even the harshest conditions. The sealed carbon drag ensures consistent, smooth, and jerk-free braking action, allowing for both the safe fight with large fish and the use of fine leaders. Thanks to the reliable seal, the drag is well protected from dust, sand, and salt. The precisely crafted, large drag knob offers maximum grip and allows for precise adjustment of the drag—even with slippery, wet hands. The simplicity of the design, the choice of larger components, and corrosion-resistant materials ensure reliable and consistent performance every time the reel is used. Long service life guaranteed!
Zero Backlash Clutch
This system ensures reliable spool engagement without any slippage, even at maximum drag. This provides you with full drag power at precisely the crucial moments. Over-spooling of the reel, known as "freespooling," is reliably prevented. Furthermore, the innovative system completely eliminates starting resistance. This guarantees constant and even resistance throughout the entire fight – from start to finish. This minimizes the risk of losing fish, allowing you to fish for large fish without worry, even with very fine leaders. Whether it's fast-swimming saltwater fish or a large trout raging on the end of your 6X leader.
Design and functionality
The RX series combines minimalist aesthetics with optimal functionality. The timeless, CNC-machined design offers an excellent balance between strength and weight. Generous cutouts on the reel and spool reduce weight and improve air circulation, allowing line and backing to dry faster. Each model is designed to perfectly adapt to the specific fishing technique and rod size used.
Models and areas of application
- RX1: Ideal for #2-4 rods, excellent for lightweight setups and light, precise fishing for trout, grayling, etc.
- RX2: Perfect for #4-5 rods, versatile for use with nymphs, dry flies and small streamers.
- RX3: The all-round reel for rods in classes #5–7, ideal for medium-heavy applications in various waters: streamers in freshwater, sea trout on the coast or light tropical fishing.

In short: The Bauer RX series combines minimalist aesthetics with maximum performance. Whether you're pulling the brakes for the first time or fighting an intense fish, these reels offer confident and consistent feedback. Made in the USA, they're a reliable companion for anglers who don't want to compromise.
