Description

DESCRIPTION The Duke One is a unique reel—compact yet packed with power. Despite its small size, it features the same ultra-reliable, fully sealed 10 kg disc drag system as its larger counterparts. Designed for speed and smoothness, it excels when battling big fish on light tackle. Perfect for single-handed rods or our 11-foot two-handed “switch” model, it holds 100 m of 30 lbs backing and spins effortlessly under pressure. The brass star drag adjustment is just as precise and easy to use as on the larger models. Perhaps it’s overkill for a reel this size—but we wouldn’t have it any other way. FEATURES – Modern domed side classic design – Completely sealed 10 kg disc drag system for ultimate reliability and power – Saltwater-resistant polished aluminium with genuine brass details – Matte black or matte hunter green anodised side plates – Polished oval rims for smooth handling – Milled solid reel seat for secure attachment – Broad, polished rim for precise hand-braking – Classic S-handle with ivory replica knob and brass counterbalance – Integrated domed star drag for effortless adjustment – One-turn full braking adjustment up to 10 kg – Easy-to-reach integrated on/off clicker in genuine brass – Embossed salmon ornament for a refined finish – Quick left/right hand conversion – Embossed black or green block leather case for secure storage SPECIFICATIONS – Model: SALAR Duke One – Class: #6/8 – Size: 85 x 55 mm – Weight: 280 g – Drag: 10 kg – Clicker sound: on/off – Retrieve: left/right
