Now In Stock, Shimano Socorro Spinning Reels. Choose from 4 sizes, all of which are $69.99.

We thought Shimano did a great job with these new reels. They would make a great reel for anyone needing a WATERPROOF drag… from Kayak fisherman to surf fisherman. The larger sized reels hold plenty of line for say a 9 or 10 foot rod too!

The Socorro reels feature graphite frames, side-plates and rotors, keeping the weight of the reel to a minimum and we all know that if you’re walking a beach all day, light is GOOD! Aluminum Spools and Shielded Ball Bearings will help keep the sand and salt from doing too much damage. And for those of you who fish with Braided lines especially… You should know that the Socorro is designed with the “Propulsion Line Management System”. It’s a prett cool concept from Shimano and in a nutshell they’ve designed the spool to minimize tangles and WIND KNOTS. We ALL HATE wind knots… particularly when you  have a spool full of expensive braid!!! The design is supposed to allow the line to come off the spool in smaller, tighter wraps which causes less friction on the spool lip as well as your stripper guide. Reduced Friction = Longer Casts!

 Here are some features:

• Propulsion Line Management System
• Propulsion Spool Lip
• Power Roller III
• S-Arm Cam
• Redesigned Bail Tip
• Lightweight Graphite Frame, Sideplate and Rotor
• Cold Forged Aluminum Spool
• Repairable Clicker
• 1+1 Shielded Stainless Steel Ball Bearings
• Varispeed Oscillation
• Super Stopper II
• Dyna-Balance
• Waterproof Drag

Causeway Opinion??? All in all we like this reel. It appears to be made quite well and definitely hard to beat for $69.99!
