8" High Capacity Reel

Part Number: XPRXL

Our 8" High Capacity Reel was designed to hold more line than any other reel available by major manufacturers today.    When using Spectra line the reel is capable of holding 500 feet of 500 lb line and 400 feet of 800 lb line.   This reel proves extremely useful for fishermen running .080" diameter "weed wacker" line and holds approximately 400 feet.

The reels frame is machined from a solid round of aluminum and has a 7/16” bore making this unit Big Jon compatible.  Four clutch pads machined from a solid bar of 660 bronze are provided which are capable of handling extreme amounts of pressure and heat.

Revolving handles may also be attached to this unit, but if you are looking for a plastic handle…you won’t find it here.  We machine our handles from a solid round of aluminum to ensure a lifetime of use.  All inner working components are machined from aluminum and stainless steel for a smooth and fluent revolution every time.

What Makes Our Reels The Best?

This reel is so popular because many fishermen prefer to use “weed wacker” line when running planer boards.   When the lines are being retrieved with plastic reels it cannot handle the stress when the line expands and will crack into pieces. 

Stop replacing your plastic reels after only one season of use.  Our solid aluminum reels are built to last a lifetime and will never crack nor flare under pressure!

We recommend that every person who owns an electric reel should have a handle in case of electrical failure or wiring malfunction on the boat.  Revolving handle sold separately.
