Work horse that doesn't quit

"Wow! I put my Grande 9/10/11 reel to the test last week fishing the flats in Mexico and this reel out performed its competitors. Hands down this reel is a work horse that won't quit even under the weight of a 100+ lb tarpon. Definitely recommend!!"

Bonefish to the max! Grande 7-8-9

"What can I say more than this reel is Grande! Robust, elegant and mighty. Paired with the Predator Salt 8wt, it was the perfect combo in the flats of Guadeloupe! Bonefish, Permit, and more. I love the handle, big enough when you try to figure out why your Line is under your feet and the Bonefish is going 100mph at your right and then suddenly right at you. You need to reel as fast as possible and the handle on the Grande is the Best!"

— JPL (5/5)

Redington Predator

"Got my gear very quickly, thank you Hosting a group for a Bonefishing trip in Xcalak and got the rod primarily for a backup. When I was checking out the gear I said I needed to cast the new setup. Got it all lined up and was pleasantly surprised at the casting performance for a rod at that price point, looking forward to having my folks getting a chance to fish it. You folks have been great over the years, Keep it up!"

— Kevin K. (5/5)
