- Bob James Lightweight Float Reel -

Float Reel

Good float reels have no mechanical drag. Tension during drifts & when fighting fish is provided by the angler's own hand. No mechanical system could ever compare to the excitement & sensitivity of your own hands as you react instinctively to your adversary's every move!

The Bob James Lightweight reel is based on the Bob James Special but the backplate has been machined to reduce the weight of the backplate by 25%, reducing the total weight of the reel by 10%. This reel has been developed with the help of Bob James, a highly acclaimed fisherman, and features a low inertia take-off spool with a ventilated barrel, ideal for Wallis Casting.
