Quick take
Saltwater trolling reel with level wind system and 40 lb maximum drag for open water fishing.
This is a conventional level-wind trolling reel built for boat fishing in salt water. It pairs a 4.1:1 gear ratio with an aluminum frame and spool, a double dog ratchet that keeps the handle from reversing, and a maximum drag of 40 pounds. It suits anglers dragging baits or lures behind a boat for grouper, sea bass and similar offshore fish.
Best for
- Trolling for striped bass and bottom fish offshore

- You need maximum line capacity for deep water
Strengths
- Level wind distributes line evenly on the spool
- 7 stainless steel bearings provide smooth operation in saltwater
- 40 lb drag handles large saltwater species
- Die-cast aluminum frame resists corrosion
Trade-offs
- Conventional reels require thumb control practice for smooth operation
