We don’t only go fishing because our reel has five stainless steel bearings, a full metal body, or a side cover. You might not even notice that it features an ultra-lightweight, rigid carbon rotor for stable rotation and line lay when fighting a fish, or that it’s anchored by a corrosion-resistant, heavy-duty stainless steel main shaft. Sometimes, you might take for granted how smooth the 5+1 stainless steel bearing system is as it delivers fish after fish or forget about the raw cranking power in your hands, provided by a CNC self-lock handle that screws directly into the main gear. What you do remember is the surge of adrenaline as a fish cuts toward the current. The surge when you catch your first glimpse of it in the shore break. And the surge of pride when you finally hold that prized catch up with both hands. Check out the new Loomis and Franklin Surge available in 4000, 6000 and 8000 models.
