Saltwater Reels

There's no tougher test for fishing tackle than to have it used on a charter boat, so for this excellent overhead to be named Charter Special, you know it's going to be good.

Taking a beating is what it's all about and it's no wonder this tough lasting reel has become Shimano's top selling reel for chartered operation. From a massive, heavy-duty levelwind mechanism that just will not jam and that spreads line evenly across the aluminium spool, to the light but strong XT7 body, this reel is up to coping with the worst treatment that inexperienced fishos can dish out.

For more experienced anglers then, this reel will continue to provide faultless service for many years to come.
