    Just got mine. It’s pretty cool.

    but I swear the first Xreel was way bigger, like 3&1/2” to 4” in diameter.

    this one is tiny, 2” diameter.


    is there two models?

    Upgraded my Xreel today

    - replaced the nylon fishing line with 100 LB test (18lb diameter) Dyneema braided PowerPro fishing line (no rotting / UV degradation, no breakage, no survival food (fish) loss)

    - nickel coated stainless single hooks, 3 large, 3 medium, 5 small

    - assorted fishing flies

    - @5col HDPE Ranger Band for fishing line retention while stowed in webbing rig.

    - silicone dielectric grease on the threads and O ring , for smooth no galling opening

    - blue thread lock on all the little Allen bolts
