HERO
Description
Be a hero and fish with a Hero. Affordable but cool looking reel family. These semi machined reels have silky smooth but powerfull disc brake, consisting total of five discs from carbon and stainless steel. The smaller reels’ spool has easy and quick screw release whereas on the salmon size it has waterproof and secure pop out system.
NYMPH & DRY This Hero is ideal reel for rods #3 – #5 when using standard WF or special nymphing lines. It has large arbour for quick line retrieve and its narrow spool spools the line nicely. The full body rim prevents the thin nymphing lines slipping into wrong places. This reel balances the longer rods perfectly.
46 and 79 These standard Heroes are real all-round reels for all type of fishing.
46 handles traditional river and lighter stillwater fishing with ease. It accommodates WF6F fly line with enough backing and its weight is matched to balance same weight rods.
79 is a bigger brother handling everything from heavier river fishing to a predator and lighter saltwater fishing.
SALMON 911 This reel has a similar look to the smaller ones, but it has eaten a different brake system. As this reel will face bigger fish and harsher conditions, it features more powerful and waterproof brake system. The brake itself consists again of carbon and stainless steel, giving us a smooth, reliable, and powerful brake. Everything is sealed behind O-rings to keep the water and dirt out. The frame has a full body rim so you can use thin running lines without fear of unwanted jams. The reel’s capacity is big enough for heavy Hybrid lines so you can rig this with any double hander.
