Pflueger’s new Purist casting reels are smooth, compact and lightweight, thanks to a ridged one-piece graphite frame and side plate. Featuring seven plus one stainless steel bearings, the Purist uses a centrifugal brake system, aluminium handle, double anodised aluminium spool, and graphite star to outlast tough-fighting fish. The Purist casting reel comes in a 7.1:1 gear ratio, weighs in at 210 grams and holds 110 yards of 14-pound monofilament. Purist casting reels are also available in a matching 3-5kg combo.
