The ‘Reel Britannia’ RB1-1012 is completely saltwater proof and has proven very effective in taming salmon and large saltwater quarry.

The RB1 has been meticulously designed and tested to the limits. The reel is completely saltwater proof and has proven very effective in taming salmon and large saltwater quarry.

The initial prototype was designed and tested in collaboration with Lancaster University Engineering Department, where dozens of drag materials were tested under extreme conditions in order to select the compound with the highest performance. The chosen compound, coupled with titanium disks, not only withstands temperatures in excess of 200°C but provides a silky smooth drag with virtually no stick-slip.
