Description

Diamondback’s Aeroflex Salt reels are heavily ported five-axis machined reels with smart design features for optimal performance on the water. Developed over two full seasons of rigorous field testing and machining adjustments, the Aeroflex Salt reels are a smooth and powerful match for the most demanding species in Saltwater and Freshwater. Available in 7/8 and 9/10 sizes that cover the popular larger line weights, Aeroflex Salt reels feature a heavy-duty enclosed frame beautifully anodized in aqua blue, while the spool and drag knob are polished chrome aluminum, featuring an aqua blue “diamond fish” logo on the drag hub and spool retainer. The wide, oversized drag knob with a raised surface can be easily gripped and turned without looking, helping you focus on the fish when the fight requires you to quickly release or apply additional drag pressure. The powerful enclosed drag column provides smooth force well beyond saltwater applications, so you will never run out of stopping power when you need it, and the vented drag column prevents water retention in the drag while wet. Aeroflex Salt reels feature a light audible click on the retrieve and when the drag is engaged. All Aeroflex reels feature a one-way clutch bearing that can be flipped to switch the retrieve from left hand to right hand.
