EOSThere has been much debate over whether a lever drag is better than a star drag on this style and size of reel. Through our expert team of professional anglers, designers and consultants we now sincerely believe that a star drag system is indeed preferable.
However, our drag system is somewhat different to many reels currently available in the fact that we have been able to use our own unique high modulus drag washers within the design. As we started with a clean sheet of paper we have also been able to increase the diameter of the drag washers to give a smoother and more proficient drag. Fully loaded the EOS 30 will deliver a maximum 35 lb of drag whilst the EOS 50 an enormous 40 lb of drag.
With today’s latest braids having virtually nil stretch and extremely low diameter a highly proficient clutch is not only desirable but absolutely vital. This is why we have spent many hundreds of hours testing both in the workshop and in the field to ensure we have got it just right.
Of course we have incorporated our specially formulated drag lubricant to ensure an instant pick up without any overload and a smooth transition, which is critical for this types of reel.
A small but very important feature is our freespool clicker mechanism. This allows the angler to slowly troll a live or deadbait with the minimum of resistance to a taking fish whilst at the same time keeping the line under control.
Both of the EOS models are made from a one piece cage and two side plates all of which are machined from high quality aluminum stock. Stainless steel gears and high quality bearings help to deliver all of the power that can be exerted through the reel.
The EOS 30 has a gear ratio of 4.7:1 and weighs in at 17.5 oz.
The EOS 50 also has a gear ratio of 4.7:1 weighing 26 oz.
Although these are not out and out casting reels a centrifugal breaking system helps to eliminate any overruns. The reel comes complete with three weights of break blocks and a rock steady reel clamp with an incorporated lanyard tether point.
Both reels are furnished with ultra strong aluminum handles with large EVA grips and two positions fixing for a higher speed retrieve or extra cranking power.
