 Whether it be for skate, cod or taupe on our waters or large game abroad, the fixed spool powerhouse you need is the Finnor Offshore. With stainless steel drive gear, pinion gear and shaft, the reel isn't light but it is tough. The shaft is locked in at both ends with integrated support to avoid any bending under severe pressure. The two bearings are also complemented with 11 alternating carbon fiber and stainless steel drag washers, providing up to 60 pounds of drag and the massive forged aluminium spools offer up to 400 yards of 65 pound braid to winch in whatever tightens your line. The reinforced bail arm is big and simple, prepared for the battle on water and the punishment your heavy gear has to endure for those who don't have time to worry around rocks and in the bolt. The 8500 model has an ergonomic crank like handle to fit in the palm whereas the smaller 7500 has a shorter handle for between your thumb and fingers. As with most fixed spool reels, the handle collapses for storage and the spool is removable via the dragnon. The fixed spool 7500 and 8500 size offshore reel from Finnor offers a hugely powerful cranking ability with an 11 disc washer set up and stainless steel drive and pinion gears. A stubborn stainless steel shaft reinforced at both ends for hauling large fish up cliff faces or from the depths and then there's the very rare bearing at both ends of the pinion gear again for strength and durability.
