FIN-NOR SANTIAGO GAME REELS THE LATEST BIG-GAME REEL TECHNOLOGY! Fin-Nor big-game trolling reels played an integral part in the history of game fishing. The new Santiago range stays true to that legacy but takes it to a new level with the latest in trolling reel strength and technology. An angler's bond with their new Fin-Nor Santiago starts with the custom report provided with every Fin-Nor Santiago, stating the individual serial number of each reel and the results of the individual performance test carried out by a Fin-Nor engineer. On the water that bond between man and metal strengthens as the angler stares at the classic Fin-Nor gold anodised corrosion-resistant finish and starts appreciating the engineering excellence evident in the fully-machined one-piece aluminium frame and the forged aluminium spool. When the line takes off and a Santiago's drag system gets to work, big, strong and smooth enough to fish IGFA-rated mono lines or the heaviest of braids, the multi-layer stainless steel and twin-carbon-fibre discs provide the control and power needed to tame the biggest fish. The skipper can back down as hard as he needs to: the drag's protected by an innovative water-tight, auto-aligning system. There's a low and high gear for the angler to react on instinct throughout the battle and, if any angler could ever sustain it, the SA80W is capable of 45.4kg at maximum drag. Fin-Nor's understanding of big fish and how to fight them comes from a history of developing the equipment man needed to tame the ocean's beasts. That knowledge continues to grow, developing better and better technology, the likes of which are featured in every part within a Santiago. As we like to say at Fin-Nor: time passes, quality endures.
