Wilson Pro Cast series nets
Okuma Cavalla Lever Drag Reels
EVERY so often a product arrives that makes use of our team’s years of experi- ence and the Wilson Pro Cast series of nets do just that.
OKUMA’S Cavalla Lever Drag reels con- tain the key concepts of Okuma’s indus- try-leading lever drag overhead platforms, taking shape in a more compact and ac- cessible package, and radically advancing the power and performance that is avail- able to everyday anglers.
Leaning on the experience of our staff and pro anglers, the Pro Cast nets fea- tures put them at the top of the tree.
Built tough, the Cavalla’s one-piece, fully-machined, rigid aluminium frame is designed to tolerate more pressure and torque, while it also comes equipped with a Carbonite drag system with Cal’s drag grease, for smooth stopping power, and 17-4 grade stainless steel main and pinion gears for strong, reliable performance.
All Pro Cast nets feature chain bottoms that are tied into the netting rather than looped through the nets, to ensure dura- bility and perfect operation every cast.
Bone Salt Finesse Voyage Spin
At the other end of the nets, a rope tie-in is fastened with a super strong swivel that has been over-engineered to give years of service and minimise line twist, which can lead to poor casting performance.
THE Salt Finesse series expands on the brilliant Voyage concept delivering a se- ries of rods that will cover any light line application.
The Cavalla is available in a variety of models in both single and two speed to cover vertical jigging to live bait fishing, and casting to light trolling for species such as mackerel, kingfish, tuna and billfish.
Other critical areas have been looked at too, including the addition of a wrist strap on all models and an extension rope for dedicated prawn cast nets.
With six models in the Salt Finesse range, Bone has developed a brilliant cohort that incorporates the highest qual- ity components matched to unparalleled design and function.
• Rigid 1-piece frame and left side plate construction
It is this attention to detail, as well as giving casters what they want and need, that elevate Wilson Pro Cast nets to the top level.
The highlight feature is the elimination of uneven spread of weight across the joints, achieving an ultra-smooth bend when the rod is loaded, yet maintaining the rod’s durability and strength.
•6061-T6 Machined aluminium frame and side plates
Eight models are in the range, giving users a wide choice of options.
•17-4 grade stainless steel main and pinion gears
