Bruin Outdoors Paul Elias Legend Series Baitcast Reel
What sets it apart?
The Bruin Outdoors Paul Elias Legend Series Baitcast Reel is a high-end reel packed with quality components all the way through. The all-aluminum frame is one of the lightest available, and the titanium deposition coated aluminum side plates provide an extremely corrosion resistant seal. This is an extremely smooth-casting, lightweight reel that will perform under any condition, with any bait.
How do I use it?
Available in the four most common gear ratios – 5.3:1, 6.2:1, 7.3:1, and 8.1:1 – there is a speed to fit anyone’s need, with any bait. With an industry-leading drag system boasting 80 points of dual external cast control and 22 pounds of drag, the reel performs under any condition. You can control the reel with the typical tension knob as well as four base tension settings and 10 fine adjustments. Even with a high end drag system, the Japanese made anti-reverse clutch allows for solid hook sets prior to the drag system kicking in. It packs an 11-bearing system with corrosion resistant duralumin gears offering as smooth of a reel as possible.
