We are so excited about the cool new purple Hydros Reel that we’re celebrating by giving one away via our Instagram and Facebook accounts. The redesigned Hydros offers some remarkable features in a mid-price reel, including:
- Refined, lighter weight large arbor
- Improved fully-sealed drag clutch bearing
- Radiused reel foot for kink-free leader protection
- Ergonomically improved, easy-to-use drag knob
- Zero start-up inertia
- Excellent retrieval rates and less line coiling
This limited-edition color adds some serious pop! to the already elegant design, and it would look great on almost any fly rod. So enter the contest ASAP, as it runs just until Tuesday, to coincide with a Facebook Live event about the Hydros, starring Tom Rosenbauer and dead reel designer Shawn Combs.
Here’s how the contest works:
1. Click on one of theses Instagram or Facebook posts about the giveaway.
2. Like the post.
3. Share it with two of your friends.
We will accept submissions from today through Tuesday, May 12 at 11:59 a.m. We will announce the randomly-chosen winner during the Facebook Live with Shawn Combs on the Orvis Fly Fishing Facebook page! (See the full contest rules here.)
The sweepstakes is open only to legal residents of the USA who are 18 or older. (We apologize to our readers in Canada and overseas; Click here for an explanation of why we have to do this.)

Some of us don’t have and don’t want to be part of any of these social media platforms.
No Facebook, No Instagram, “0” media clicks for you Orvis.
I totally agree with you. They should have an alternative for people that don’t look at their phone every 5 seconds!!!

I want to participate in the competition. I hope that my luck will not leave me, and I will win a valuable prize. I am sure that it will be so, because yesterday I won the 12th iPhone in the mystery iphone box . It seems to me that this is a great success.
