Title: Alligator Reels
Post by: The Great Maudu on February 11, 2016, 04:36:00 AM
I just got my copy of IGFA World Records book. In looking at the tackle used for 2015 there is a reference to Alligator in Saltwater reels. It was tied for 8th in records set. I can't find any info on it so thought I would ask here if anyone knows of these reels or has pics of them.

Japanese brand, built in Korea... look like nice gear.

The Battle 12 looks like it would make a nice jigging reel, good and narrow.

EDIT: Extremely expensive, holy hell.... roughly 1200USD for that Battle 12

That's a powerful looking reel. Too bad that website didn't have English translation. Anyway Boon thanks for sharing that.
