Lock Fly Reel System
All Lock Products will be Shipped in April 2025.
Why you should use Lock Fly Lines ♲
The Lock Fly Reel System isn’t just the easiest-to-use cassette fly reel; it’s a revolutionary approach to how we buy and use fly lines. Traditionally, 76% of a fly line’s weight is packaging, and with backing, that rises to 95%. Add the environmental cost of shipping non-recyclable packaging, and the inefficiency is clear.
Lock Fly Lines eliminate all that waste. Pre-loaded on Lock spools, there’s no plastic or cardboard to dispose of—just plug the line straight into the reel. No packaging, no waste, no environmental impact. Simplicity and sustainability, all in one system.
Using your own Fly lines on Lock Spools
You can easily load your own backing and fly lines onto Lock spare spools. These spools are designed to be fully compatible with every fly reel Sunray will produce in the future. Please keep them.
We encourage you to research how to properly dispose of fly line packaging. Studies show that 80% of claims about recyclability made by brands are false, leading to unnecessary waste. For a deeper understanding of consumer waste, we recommend watching Buy Now on Netflix, which highlights the true environmental impact of product packaging. Let’s work together to reduce waste and make a positive impact on the planet.

The fastest and easiest to load spare spool in the World

The Lock self locating hub requires no alignment, no locking screws, no force and no time. It locates itself and locks itself. You can load it blindfold, literally. Simply offer the spool to the frame. The reel locks automatically, providing an audible click and haptic feedback for a completely sight-free operation. Load your spool in seconds, effortlessly.

HyperRange Carbon
Sealed carbon disc drag
Engineered with aerospace-grade carbon fibre discs designed for optimal heat dissipation, ensuring consistent performance under pressure. Carbon fibre discs disperse heat generated during long runs, preventing drag fade and maintaining smooth, reliable resistance.
No more tangles
Full frame performance
Full (fully enclosed rim) anodised aerospace aluminium frame prevents thin lines from trapping between the spool and frame. X bracing stops the frame twisting and scraping against the spinning spool under load. Smooth consistent performance time after time.
No more fiddly spool changes
Big hands, cold days
Recessed spool release knob, designed for maximum grip even with large hands on the coldest days. Generous clearance prevents knuckle contact, ensuring seamless operation with the world’s fastest release system.
Small details, big effect
The perfect balance
A lowered fly reel foot improves balance, casting precision, and grip comfort while reducing fatigue. It brings the reel closer to the rod's pivot, enhancing control and sensitivity.
96% in the bin.
Don't believe the hype
Did you know that 96% of fly line packaging ends up in the bin? Why go through the hassle of buying backing and fly lines, paying for shipping, throwing away the packaging, and then tossing the product packaging too?
Many brands make bold claims about their eco-friendly credentials, but these often amount to greenwashing without real impact. Recycling, while valuable, is far less effective than assumed. Plastics are difficult to recycle due to contamination and the variety of polymers, with most ending up in landfills or incinerators.
Cardboard faces challenges too—wet or soiled materials are often non-recyclable. These limitations highlight the need for genuine solutions, like reducing waste at the source and creating products that eliminate unnecessary packaging, rather than relying on recycling systems that often fail to deliver on sustainability promises.
