TSUNAMI
SHIELD SPINNING REELS
Saltwater can be a double-edged sword. It’s in our blood and it’s what
fuels our passion to keep searching for that next trophy. But, it is also the
great enemy of fishing tackle.
The unique Tsunami Shield™ series of Salt Water Proof spinning reels
feature up to 13 internal seals in key, strategic locations to shield critical
components from harmful saltwater intrusion. The internal seals, super
smooth and strong CF3™ carbon fiber drag system and 5 sealed stainless
steel bearings are wrapped in a hybrid machined aluminum body
combining protection, precision and toughness. The heavy-duty rotor
brake controlled bail system and precision machined aluminum, braidready spool assure the best control of super braids cast after long cast.
The 3000 and 4000 Shield models contain 6 strategically located internal
seals for years of reliable use with minimal maintenance. The 5000 and
6000 Shield reels contain 13 various internal seals at all of the locations
where salt water could reasonably be expected to penetrate the reel for
even greater protection in these larger reels. Hybrid all-metal construction
includes precision-machined aircraft aluminum and tempered aluminum
precision stampings and heavy-duty protective anodizing to keep
these reels operating up to factory specifications year after year. The
combination of these top-notch designs and precisely mated components
are what make the Tsunami Shield spinning reels an all-new contender for
your favorite reel for years to come!

HOBIE
MIRAGE OUTBACK
feat. Boa Technology
Boa Technology has partnered with Hobie on the Mirage Outback kayak. Kayakers will love the fact that
they can propel themselves faster using pedals rather than a traditional paddle with Hobie’s iconic pedal
propulsion system featuring MirageDrive with Glide technology. The combination of the MirageDrive
rudder system and the hull design ensures a stable ride and enables anglers to cover long distances
with little to no fatigue, even in windy conditions. Unmatched kayaking comfort is only a turn
of the dial away with the new Vantage CT seat
