Braking system: a double disc Teflon based drag gives twice the braking power, and is unaffected by moisture. The special brake material guarantees superbly soft spool running with little or no start-up inertia or sticking. The drag area on the Size 4 reel is 820 sq. mm and 970 sq. mm on the dual reels.
The drag has been tested to 69kph - 8000rpm just before the spool empties.
An out going click is
available or the reel may be silent - again a factory set option.
All the reels have a front-mounted drag knob - no more changing hands to adjust the drag
should you need to. The control has a precision thread for precise drag adjustment.
Spare spools are available and the direct drive and anti-reverse spools are interchangeable on the same frame,however as most of the cost is in the spool, most people buy a second reel as the cost difference is small for the benifit gained. However if you prefer this rout please enquire.
The reels are available in 3 different styles, direct drive, anti reverse and a dual-action. The direct-drive enables pressure to be put on a fish as there is no clutch to slip; anti-reverse leaves the handle stationary as the fish runs, but the clutch may well slip if extra pressure is needed to control a large fish; Dual action combines the best of these - no rotating handle to injure unwary knuckles, yet as soon as the handle is turned to retrieve line extra pressure is available to control the fish just as if you had a direct drive.
In addition the reels are available with a progressive foot. This reel foot brings the weight of the reel forward closer to the casting hand. The improvement in balance and feel is quite significant, especially in the larger size reels - or the smaller rods.
Please use the shopping basket to price your reel, and choose between direct drive and anti-reverse, left or right hand wind, and silent or out-going click when you complete the form.
