FRONT DRAG REELS
	LEVER DRAG REELS
	BBX-X TYPE 2 The SR-System BB-X incorporates a lever-brake system that combines with the anti-reverse to provide exceptional power and control during the fight. Additional drag can be applied to the rotor by squeezing the lever-brake, whilst the multi-disc front drag can be pre-set to prevent line breakage when excess pressure is applied.
	SHIMANO FRONT DRAG REELS
	STELLA FA Only one word describes these reels - AWESOME. We know this word is often bounded about quite liberally these days where fishing tackle is described, Shimano have pulled it off with these reels. Serious wedge, but serious kit!
	STELLA FD  NEW 2008 When money is no object and only the very best will do, the new Stella FD range of fixed spool reels should set your imagination running wild. Designed with a new screw-less construction around Shimano’s benchmark SR-system components
	ASPIRE FA Featuring Shimano’s cutting edge SR concept technology, the Aspire FA was designed using the Stella range as a benchmark to create an exciting series of front drag reels. The Aspire FA’s body is manufactured from ultra strong Duraluminium, and high efficiency gears, supported by shielded A-RB ball bearings ensure a smooth and fluent movement in all conditions.
	TWIN POWER FB The revolutionary ‘SR-system’ has now filtered down from the flagship Stella to the new Shimano Twinpower FB range. Like the Stella, the reels incorporate a special one-piece bail that prevents even braided lines from getting caught on the bail. Excellent line lay comes courtesy of Aero Wrap and 2-Speed Oscillation. Line lay is pre-set as a flat parallel style, though this can also be adjusted to conical or reverse-conical by using the Adjustable Line Lay system. A hybrid-aluminium body ensures maximum strength where required and completes the specification of this top performer.
	STRADIC FB Like the Twinpower, the Stradic now also benefits from an SR-system overhaul. Incorporating 4 A-RB and 1 Roller Bearing, the high speed FB is one smooth operator. Don’t be misled by the reels’ clean living looks however - this model is a true workhorse thanks to its’ double anodised spool, waterproof drag and long-life bail spring.
	TECHNIUM FB SPECIAL OFFER! The feathered detail on the handle stem spine sets this family of reels apart at a glance. Featuring a T-shaped ergonomic handle it looks exactly what it is; a serious player in the fixed spool market. The front micro adjustable drag gives instant tuning of the clutch, whilst the A-RC spool lip on the cold forged spool delivers increased casting range for less effort.
	TECHNIUM F MGS As modern fishing rods become lighter and lighter, it is more important than ever to have a light reel that balances the outfit. This is important for all types of fishing but is most noticeable when using light, sensitive tackle.
	SHIMANO P3 REELS
	SEIDO FA Fitted with 5 Shielded Stainless Bearings and one roller bearing, equating to a total 9 ball bearing performance, this new flagship of the ever popular P3 range is ideal for all-round use and looks set to become a serious player in the reel market. All Seido reels feature Varispeed line lay that enables an effortless cast and delivers smooth clutch control when playing fish.
	EXAGE FA The front drag features a large multi-disc construction for smooth progressive performance that will never let you down, and the aluminium machined handle, combined with the high performing gears, deliver great cranking power, to compete with hard fighting fish of all species.  The 6000 and 10000 models are highly suited to specimen angling such as pike and carp fishing
	NEXAVE FB This popular reel with entry-level anglers has now had a complete makeover with metallic blue and silver body. Like its predecessor, however, it incorporates smooth, hard wearing gearing and strong aluminium spools. A spare alloy spool is supplied at no extra cost and with a competitive price tag - the Nexave FB range has to be one of the best value for money reels on the market. A 3000S shallower spool is also available for 2008.
	CATANA FA The Catana FA has a large multi-disc front drag that is ideal for playing larger fish in extreme conditions. 2 ball bearings and 1 roller bearing, in combination with 3D designed gears give a smoothness that you usually find on much more expensive reels. A strong aluminium spool comes as standard
	ALIVIO FB Featuring a stylishly redesigned rear body, this top seller now has even more going for it. When considering the array of features and components that make up the reel, the Alivio’s price tag is staggering’ in this case a low price tag need not stand for low quality - anything but.
	HYPERLOOP FB The Hyperloop features classical styling along with high-tech features such as Super Stopper and Varispeed line lay. By turning the handle you can immediately appreciate the quality of the gears, and vibration is almost eliminated by Shimano’s Dyna Balance system. The Hyperloop range also incorporates a Power Roller that keeps line twist to a minimum.
