DESIGN
Our reels have been developed by our teams of engineers and designers in France on Cestas.
In the heart of the Gironde and close to many fishing spots such as the large lakes of South West, Pyrenean rivers and even the Atlantic Ocean, we design, test and improve our products on a daily basis so they are both light and resistant.
Our reels are also tested and approved by several anglers: team members, customers, and even fishing guides.
Tips for storage and maintenance
Do not wash
Do not bleach
Do not tumble dry
Do not iron
Do not dry-clean
Storage tips
Rinse and dry after each fishing trip
Loosen the drag after each fishing trip
Oil the mechanism once a year.
Ensure that your reel is dry before stowing it away.
