I just received my order of three Trutta 3″ aluminum fly reels. The reels (black, blue, gold) are of the quality you would expect from a master reel maker.
The full cage design makes for a very strong reel that will last a lifetime.

Having recently received my Trutta Perfetta 3 I’m happy to express my first thoughts.
Mine is a subdued metallic blue with gold trim and ‘ivory’ handle. It is stylish without being garish and elegantly blends classic looks with contemporary design and engineering.
Tolerances are extremely high with no undesired excess spool movement, no excess play on the handle and a crisp click and pawl drag, slightly weightier and louder on the out than on the in.
Both the spool rim and the handle are lightly knurled to aid finger pressure and grip, nice touches on a well designed, robust, attractive fly reel. Even the leather pouch the reel comes in exudes quality, complimenting the reel perfectly and reflecting VR Reels’ premier standards.
All in all, just terrific.

I received my Trutta Perfetta yesterday and could not have been more impressed with the beauty and craftsmanship of the reel and it’s presentation. I love the classic design with the critical features of a palming rim, a specially designed spring and pawl drag, and ball bearing spool carriage for smoothness and reliability. Masterfully conceived and executed!
With the brass reel foot and fasteners this reel balances my eight foot Sweetgrass bamboo rod perfectly, and the polished brass accents complement the golden hue of cane. Alas I must wait until spring to cast a dry fly and listen to the Trutta sing for the first time!

I received my Perfetta Trout Reel today. It arrived packed in a strong cardboard container which was wrapped very securely.
Inside was another smart cardboard box with the company logo. Within was the reel wrapped in layers of bubble wrap. Inside was a handsome high quality grey leather pouch with the reel inside a plastic bag. Instructions, a warranty and an Allen key were also in the box. All very professional and pleasing.
Now the reel….. what a jewel! Beautifully anodised and a tactile joy. Tolerances are superb and even fine tippet will not get trapped between the caged spool and frame. Lovely pawl and clicker. Yay!
