Lamson Litespeed

BC Outdoors Magazine Team·July 11, 2013

The Litespeed is a large arbor reel with the same sealed drag system found in the Waterworks ULA. The drag consists of two matched cones brought together under variable spring pressure resulting in a very smooth, very adjustable drag that is immune to water and dirt. The Hard Alox finish...

Lamson Speedster

BC Outdoors Magazine Team·July 11, 2013

The Speedster is a reel for when you want a super high rate of retrieval to recover line on the bottom of the boat or beat the fish that is charging you head-on. A narrow spool and large outside diameter combine to deliver speed that just can’t be matched in...

Airflo Ridge

BC Outdoors Magazine Team·July 11, 2013

The Ridge’s supple technology allows the line to follow the water’s surface very effectively and the low-temperature friendly coating keeps the line flexing easily in the cooler months. The core of this line is low stretch and the surface is ridged to reduce drag while casting. $75* SEE YOUR LOCAL RETAILER...

Lamson Velocity

BC Outdoors Magazine Team·July 11, 2013

The Velocity is constructed with a unique three-plane pocket-milling technique for a very strong strength to weight ratio.

Airflo Sixth Sense

BC Outdoors Magazine Team·July 11, 2013

Airflo was the first line company to experiment with non-stretch fly lines that would enhance sensitivity, enabling fishermen to feel soft hits that might otherwise be missed. This latest generation uses a power core braid that casts and fishes very well. $65* SEE YOUR LOCAL RETAILER FOR CURRENT CANADIAN PRICING As...

Scientific Anglers Mastery Textured

BC Outdoors Magazine Team·July 11, 2013

The Mastery Textured series of lines work in a very similar way to the Sharkskin lines but with a quieter, more finger-friendly finish than the Sharkskin. The textured lines still float very well and lift off the water easily. $85* SEE YOUR LOCAL RETAILER FOR CURRENT CANADIAN PRICING As seen in BC...

Scientific Anglers Sharkskin

BC Outdoors Magazine Team·July 11, 2013

The microtextured surface of the Sharkskin line traps air to provide superior shootability and floatation while vastly reducing friction. This line sits higher on the water than conventional lines offering less drag, easier mending and pick-up. $100* SEE YOUR LOCAL RETAILER FOR CURRENT CANADIAN PRICING As seen in BC Outdoors Sport Fishing magazine May...

Hatch Finatic

BC Outdoors Magazine Team·July 11, 2013

Hatch Finatic are absolutely beautiful machined aluminum reels loaded with features you would expect on a high-end reel. The spools fit into the one-piece frames very precisely and are locked in place with something Hatch calls the “power flower”. The result is a reel with almost no lateral flex, no...

Islander Classic Spey Reel

Christine Ly·July 11, 2013

Islander Reels has just launched a new click and pawl Spey reel referred to as “the modern day Spey reel with some traditional attributes.” The Islander classic Spey reel spool rides on two oilite bushings on a stainless steel spindle; the drag is five-position adjustable and is effected by tensioning...

Sage Approach

BC Outdoors Magazine Team·July 11, 2013

Sage’s entry level rod, the Approach, is loaded with features you don’t always see at this price point. Constructed in Washington State, USA–like the rest of the Sage line–the Approach features a medium/fast-action and a higher modulus graphite than in any of their previous entry level rods. The Oyster Shell...
