New Lever Drag Saltwater Reel

In October Saracione Manufacturing, best known for its traditional salmon and steelhead reels, will release its new Islamorada saltwater model, complete with a lever drag system that will likely be more familiar to anglers used to using conventional tackle. The Islamorada reel will be available in three weight models (8, 10 and 12) as well as three colors (gold, black and silver) and will retail for $1,200. The Deneki Outdoors blog offers a nice overview on how drag system can be used.
