Whether you’re casting long distance for that elusive snook, redfish, bonefish, or bass, or just reaching out to prospect a school of baitfish, the Castalia Sharkfin goes the distance needed to catch more fish! And, the drag is sooo... smooth and consistent.
Sharkfin’s patented spool face is designed to produce unmatched casting distance, while reducing line stress, and tangle elimination. International Patent #10/586,115, U.S. Patent #7,384,012.
When the line leaves the Sharkfin spool it touches only the tip of each "fin,” greatly reducing line friction. As the line quickly leaves a typical round spool, it naturally maintains contact with the spool’s edge for most of the cast. Less line friction means, you’ll enjoy longer, more accurate casts.
Why The Sharkfin Reduces Line Wear
Friction during casting heats and degrades fishing line as it quickly leaves the typical round spool. The Sharkfin spool is designed to limit line friction and heat, thus minimizing line stress on every cast. Over time, you’ll realize that your line is lasting longer and staying fresher.
How The Sharkfin Eliminates Tangles
During the retrieve on traditional spinning reels, loops are inevitably formed when small increments of slack line are reeled onto the spool. On standard round spools, these loops often crawl together forming a twisted loop that protrudes beyond the spool’s lip. During the next cast, a high-speed, high-energy line is pulled tightly against the spool lip, engaging this protruding loop and snatching it and all the line spooled on top of this loop off in the form of a "birdnest.” NOT GOOD.
With the Sharkfin, when slack line is inadvertently wound onto the spool, it is retained by the fins, often resulting in the line skipping one or two of the fins along the face of the spool. This "catch” eliminates any twist or looping of slack line, and this excess line is freely released on the next cast without incident. ALL GOOD.
Sharkfin's require no special instruction, and they operate like a standard spinning reel, "only much better". German engineered and patented worldwide, the Castalia Sharkfin spinning reels have all the uncompromising performance features professional guides and serious anglers look for, in a "high quality" spinning reel. One that gets used (and abused) daily.
That’s why the Sharkfin has been "certified tough” by many professionals and serious anglers, and Castalia warrants their reels for two years from the date of purchase. The Sharkfins are used like any standard spool spinner, it's braid-friendly, and works with all reel-recommended line diameters.
Simply put - you will not find a better performing spinning reel.
You get what you pay for and the Castalia Sharkfin is an exceptional value of the highest quality and offers unmatched performance. You can pay more for a spinning reel, but you won't find a better value or performance at any price.
