Reels

Sometimes you just know you are on to a winner when you look at a product, and this is most certainly the case with Wychwood’s stylish, lightweight and super-durable Extremis reel range. Whether you are looking to fish an intimate little pit or venture further afield and test your wits against the monsters found in European waters, there is a reel that will be able to handle every situation. This is thanks to there being two sizes of the Extremis reel, in the 6000 or the slightly larger 8000 sizes. Whichever you choose, you can be sure that both offer super performance amongst a whole host of other features. 

Upon first handling the reel, you will instantly notice just how lightweight these workhorses are, weighing 548g and 618g respectively. A carbon graphite body and rotor are not only light but is also extremely robust, thus aiding the reliability of the reel for many years to come. Another added benefit of being so lightweight is that long range casting will be aided significantly. Being able to move the rod and reel combination quickly through the air with fast hand movement will see leads flying further than ever before. Working in unison with the super-slow oscillation of the reel, which sees line being loaded in beautiful fashion, line will glide off the spool and fly through the rod rings.A spring loaded hi-impact line clip will protect your main line when hitting the same marks with regularity, avoiding any unnecessary damage. Yet during use, the Wychwood Extremis Reels offer silk-like performance with every turn of the handle, even whilst under heavy pressure. The 9+1 high grade stainless steel bearings are to thank here, whereas the drag benefits hugely from the installed carbon drag washers that allow line to release from the reel when needed with extreme consistency. A precision fast drag allows the user to help slow a moving fish down with great speed and allows fine adjustment for battling a giant of the deep.

Finishing touches such as a folding handle paired with a stunning wooden grip are the cherry on the cake. With the finished product being matte in appearance, complete with understated graphics, you would be forgiven in thinking that this reel is far more expensive than its given price tag. Should you be in the market for some new reels, the Extremis selection from Wychwood would be hard to ignore!
