The SL6 is the reel of choice for many large guiding operations to place on their loan rods due to its “bulletproof” design. This reel has a track record of 20 years in the most remote and hostile environments targeting powerful adversaries like permit, tigerfish, golden dorado and more. The robust design is crafted from solid 6082 T6 high grade bar stock aluminum and features a custom-processed cork drag with enclosed one-way plungers. The SL6 accommodates 9 to 10 weight lines and can be ordered with an incoming and outgoing click or silent outgoing with an incoming click. Custom color options are titanium (silver), black, blue, turquoise, purple, red, golden orange or a custom color combination of these for various parts.
