Support VA! manufactures

Release Reels are made in VA and they have a new magged version for surf fishing. While I haven't thrown the new magged version, I have the non-magged. And this babies will flat out cast! They're machined from a single piece of aircraft grade aluminum, built like a tank, and have an amazing 40 lbs. of drag. They were originally built for charter boat captains as braid balls for striper fishing and jigging, thus the crazy drag. They've added breaking for the surf version to make it easier to control. But in all honesty, I think the other version is easy to control for a brakeless reel. Just thumb it a little. When I finish my 2 new cat fishing rods hopefully next week, I'm moving my Saltist 30s off 2 of my surf poles into the cat rods and getting a couple of these for the surf rods. I'm proud they're made right here in the Commonwealth.
