The initial design inspiration for the Burst Reel came from the complex pattern of interwoven branches found stream side in logjams, beaver dams and even bird nests. The alternating angles of the refined design provide superior structural integrity as opposed to 90-degree angles. Not only does the Burst Reel provide an interesting visual matrix, but structurally, it is far stronger than most reels on the market. The Burst Reel has all the elements we love: A large arbor, light-weight, amazing colors and... wait for it... a fully sealed disk drag system for around $300. Incredible, and incredibly Cheeky.
