Patriot Baltic Salmon 45 Line Counter Baitcasting Reel

The Patriot® baitcasting reels are designed for Nordic conditions and applications with fishing professionals and enthusiasts. The design of the reels has paid particular attention to reliability in varying conditions and features that are important to usability, such as the line counter with a metric scale (LC models), strong and steady drag, extremely loud ratchet, sturdy aluminum reel handle, corrosion-resistant bearings, and a sturdy and corrosion-resistant housing.

Patriot® Baltic Salmon is a dream come true for salmon fishing. The reel features sufficient line capacity and a smooth and highly effective carbon fiber drag that will stop even larger salmon. While the line capacity and features were designed for fighting your record fish, the reel is still compact and manageable in terms of its physical size and weight. The sturdy reel is equipped with 4+1 corrosion-resistant bearings, that combine with the sturdy gearing to ensure smooth operation. The truly powerful King Size Gearing is significantly larger than traditional gears and generates a lot more power. With the King Size gearing, the drag system used in the reel is also quite sizable with up to 50 percent more braking area than is typical in similarly sized reels! The Patriot® Baltic Salmon reel features a precisely adjustable multidisc Teflon drag that works in any situation with a wide adjustment range. The reel is also equipped with an accurate and easy-to-use line counter that lets you know exactly how much line you have released.

Made from high-quality materials and designed for demanding use, the Patriot® Baltic Salmon baitcasting reel is reliable choice for trolling for salmon or fishing on a river from a rowing boat. The reel is of course well-suited for other uses where significant line capacity and reeling power are needed.

OPM International Oy supports the sustainability of sea salmon trolling by introducing one young sea salmon without an adipose fin to the Gulf of Finland for each Patriot® Baltic Salmon trolling reel sold.
