The JMC Yoto range has long been a favourite among European fly anglers and a trusted choice of many world level competition fishers. The latest generation, including the Yoto Nymph (LHR & RHR) and the new XPR 30 and XPR 50 brings improved engineering, smoother operation, and purpose built performance for both modern fly fishing and euronymphing techniques.
All reels in the Yoto family feature:
- Fully machined 6061 aluminium body for lightweight strength
- Large‑arbor design for fast line pickup and reduced memory
- Smooth, stable drag with an ergonomic adjustment knob
- Enclosed frame to eliminate line and leader snagging between the spool and housing
- Rapid semi‑automatic retrieval, pulling in roughly 2 metres of line per lever stroke
- Approx. weight: 136 g, making it ideal for long days on the water
- Suitable for both traditional fly fishing and euronymphing
- supplied in a protective neoprene case
Yoto Nymph- Built Specifically for Euronymphing
The JMC Yoto Nymph is purpose‑engineered for tight‑line and euronymphing systems, with the features competitive anglers rely on:
Key Nymph‑Specific Features
- Gunmetal/orange
- Ceramic line guide integrated into the frame guides ultra thin microleaders smoothly off the reel without wear.
- Semi‑automatic lever retrieval allows instant slack pickup and tight connection when drifting nymphs.
-
Traditional reel handle included: Unlike many semiautos, the Yoto Nymph also has a standard handle, giving you the option to:
- reel in normally when fighting strong fish
- fine‑tune pressure and maintain control during long runs
- switch easily between euro and traditional styles
- Available in Standard Left‑Hand Retrieve (LHR) and Right‑Hand Retrieve (RHR)
- Works with micro‑leaders, comp leader formulas, French leaders, and standard tapered leaders
