The newest generation of our Adrenalin reels boast more powerful gears
and power crank handles made from aluminium. The silver housing not
only looks great, it also goes excellently with our Edition 71°North and
Adrenalin rods!
Like the previous series, these reels will also continue to be produced in
Taiwan not in China in order to guarantee the high quality standard. All
components of these reels comes exclusively from Japan, the US or
Taiwan; and the precision CNC mill-cutting machines were exported from
Japan! And the very popular size 12 is now also available as a 2-speed
reel. Size 14 (2-speed) is also new and its perfect handling, light weight
and high line capacity account for the fact that they are most captivating!
FEATURES:
HOUSING
The one-part housings are made from a block of 6061-T6 aluminium.
This type of aluminium is also used in aircraft construction; it is distin-
guished by an extremely low weight yet is extremely resilient.
FORM
The extra-narrow form of the housing and spool facilitates very even line
lay, even if the line is brought in fast; and it also prevents the line from
knotting. Nevertheless the reels have sufficient line capacity! The narrow
shape was developed for us by the Taiwanese speed-jig champion, Ken Wu.
SURFACE TREATMENT
The entire housing is anodised and provides excellent protection against
aggressive saltwater.
GEAR
The whole gear is made from non-corrosive stainless steel. This also ap-
plies to every single screw or spring.
LEVER-SHIFT DRAG
This infinitely adjustable carbon / stainless steel drag system, which works
brilliantly, is impressive owing to a jerk-free, even drag action – both at
40 degrees on the Ebro and at minus temperatures on the Lofoten.
The drag disks made from hardened carbon are manufactured in the
United States and are unbeatable with regard to the drag action and ser-
vice life.
A locking device secures the free-run mechanism and the drag to prevent
inadvertent activation of the former or blocking of the latter.
BALL BEARINGS
All reels are equipped with 7 Japanese, double-sealed ball bearings and
one needle bearing, also made in Japan. The needle bearing (infinite re-
turn stop) ensures that the reels are absolutely free from backlash.
CRANKS
The cranks are now made of special aircraft aluminium and the handle is
extra long to guarantee even more convenient line winding.
FREE-RUN
There are arguably only a few reels with such a sensationally smooth
free-run function.
RIGHT / LEFT-HAND
Some Adrenalin models are available both in a right and a left-hand ­version.
All reels are supplied with tool kit, supplies and a small bottle of oil.
