SNOWBEE Spectre 7/8 Fly Reel

The 2017 range of Spectre reels are ultra-lightweight, precision CNC machined reels at an amazing price! Machined from high grade, aircraft aluminium bar stock Aluminium, the unique design removes the maximum amount of metal, whilst retaining optimum strength and rigidity, for an ultra-light weight and better rod/reel balance. The multi-disc cork and stainless steel center drag, offers superb performance with minimal start-up inertia, whilst the large arbour design allows faster retrieve, more consistent drag performance and minimal line memory. The stainless steel main spindle coupled with the one-way roller clutch bearing, provides instant drag control when that 'smash take' catches you by surprise. Extra hard paint finish for saltwater and chip resistance, quick release spool and easy left to right hand conversion, makes the Spectre the perfect choice for long, untroubled fishing use.
