Waterline Ikonix Centre Pin Reel
Waterline is one of the UK’s largest wholesale suppliers of fishing tackle with 25 years of experience so you can be certain its products have been tested to the highest quality and will serve you excellently in your angling experiences.
The Ikonix Centre Pin Reel has a traditional design and stylish look with its antique brass finish and wooden handles which give it an extra layer of elegance when you attach it to your rod. It also has a stainless steel shaft, completing the look of class. Not only does it look good, but the solid round construction allows the line to leave perfectly, producing an ultra smooth cast and enhancing the performance of your rod too.
This large arbour reel is 4.25in in diameter which makes it suited for general purposes and is perfect for casting a float down a river and for angling for bigger fish at a close distance in still water. Its range of uses means you will certainly be able to utilise it effectively and efficiently when you fish, making it a perfect companion to your fishing equipment.
With its skeletal look, this reel has been designed to be lightweight at only 219g and will not weigh you down when you cast or when you transport it along with your other tools. It will balance out most float and barbel rods superbly as well, so if you’re worried about a reel being too clunky, you needn’t look any further.
The Ikonix Centre Pin Reel has a 0.75in width spool, this wide arbour means you can use lines from ultra fine through to specimen class breaking strains and the line won’t bed in at any of the line widths you use. This incredibly versatile reel is truly a revelation in fishing equipment, especially due to its inexpensiveness in comparison to other reels of a similar design and effectiveness.
To keep the reel in perfect condition it is supplied in a drawstring storage bag which will provide protection and prevent dents in the reel. This is essential in maintaining the reel’s efficiency and will extend its life if looked after properly, so you won’t have to replace it because it will remain in its perfect state you bought it in.
The machine cut frame and spool are both one piece each which makes storing and transporting this reel as easy as can be. The spool itself runs on two ball race bearings inside that can be removed and changed if you wish, making this multipurpose reel effortlessly customisable and the best choice to add to your collection. The centrepin is easy to control as it rotates smoothly and freely and comes to a stop gradually which makes retrieving the line manageable for any angler, no matter your experience.
One of the Ikonix Centre Pin Reel’s most useful features is the ratchet knob; this can stop the spool spinning freely when you turn it so it engages or disengages. This is brilliant for using with your rod resting on a rod pod, and, if a large fish should be enticed by your bait but swim away quickly, the ratchet knob allows the line to be taken without the issue of overruns. Additionally, it makes a noise when you get a bite, so you won’t ever miss a bite again.
This centre pin reel is ultimately the best value for money reel on the market. With its diverse uses and features, you’ll be getting carp on the bank effortlessly thanks to its controllability and advanced design. You’ll soon wonder why you used any other reel instead of this one.
