Danielsson Control series  
Twenty-five years ago Danielsson began making large fly reels capable of tackling some of the world’s most explosive game fish. With Control, they now set the standard again, changing the way large reels are designed and manufactured, and more importantly, how they work to make fly fishing more user-friendly, reliable, and effective.
At first glance, Control reels appear to function like typical anti-reverse fly reels: when fish run the drag system lets out line without the reel handle turning. There the similarity ends:

In traditional anti-reverse reel systems cranking power never exceeds braking power, Control reels incorporate a unique power converter that automatically increases drag when you crank the handle, and reduces drag when you let the handle go.
By pairing maximum cranking power with the ability to immediately reduce tension when fish jump or make sudden, lunging runs, broken tippets, shattered rods and bent hooks can be minimised – chances of landing trophy tarpon, sailfish or salmon maximised.

The multiple disc clutch type brake is developed from earlier systems, and has proven to be very reliable under harsh conditions. The main drag knob and a fine-tuning knob allow for extremely precise drag settings.

The power converter also has a built-in safety guard that prevents the reel from getting overloaded. Too many reels break under extreme stress – at the exact moment anglers rely on them the most. With Danielsson’s new Control reel, we can’t guarantee you won’t lose the occasional big one; but we can guarantee it won’t be because of reel failure.
Control reels afford the unique benefit of having the handle on the frame side. This prevents the risk of finger injuries from rotating spools: remember, some species can run at speeds up to 100km/h.

Control reels are waterproof to 100 meters. By placing the handle on the frame side only two sealant rings are needed, minimising idle friction. The frame-side handle also makes changing spools a breeze. Summary of features.
