Redington Behemoth Reel – Black

Description

From Us:
The first thing that caught our eye was the unique machining of the Behemoth. In fact, the Behemoth is a die cast reel partly because you cannot machine a reel of this style. The interlocking fingers of the spool are revolutionary and striking to behold. 

Next we were impressed by the strength of the carbon fiber drag on this reel. It has the surface area (stopping power) of reels only found in the upper echelon of reels. The drag knob is also easy to deal with even with semi-frozen hands. 

Finally, we put it in the field for a season of Alaskan smack down. Big fish, gnarly glacial silt, saltwater, bouncing around in the pick up on the way to the river. It held up beautifully and looked sharp at the end. A great value to be sure.
