Fair Chase G2s Click Pawl Fly Reel-Fire Coral on Fire Coral
Introducing…. The G2s! The Fair Chase G2s, the latest in Cubalaya’s line of angler-focused, analog-centric Fair Chase Reels, leans on the successes of its predecessor while offering several experience-driven, battle-tested developments and upgrades. The G2s is our newest 6-8 weight! . We’ve shaved weight from the spool, widened the line carrying area to 1”, re-engineered the spindle collar, reinforced the reel foot, and fully enclosed the frame so to keep fly and running lines firmly in place. Saltwater or freshwater, two hand switch or spey, the lightweight (9.1oz) and ergonomically-friendly Fair Chase G2s offers unmatched versatility. So much so, we’ve neglected to even assign a line designation to it; having fished the Fair Chase G2s from a 5wt on panfish and trout all the way up to a 10wt on Permit and Redfish, we can definitively report, no task is too tall for the G2s. After all, the Fair Chase doesn’t catch fish, you do!

Our Product Promise:
Guaranteed for life—we will stand behind this reel for as long as you own it. As this reel utilizes a metal clicker in a metal gear, wear over time is inevitable. We ask that if any issues are to arise down the road, you send the reel back to us so that we can be certain it is repaired to our standards. We will happily cover the cost of repair as long as we can confirm that there was a malfunction, rather than blatant user error. You can register your reel and learn more about our warranty at our Product Registration and Warranty page.
