Skeater Realist Pro 8K WS Reel
Product Information
Skeater’s Realist Pro 8K WS is a high-capacity big pit reel for long-range fishing, specimen predator work, demanding big-water venues and catfish fishing. Its reinforced nylon composite body and rotor keep the reel strong and stable while retaining a lightweight feel.
A precision-cut worm shaft oscillation system lays line slowly and consistently for casting efficiency after each retrieve.
The stainless steel main shaft and 5+1 stainless steel bearing system provide smooth, quiet operation under heavy loads, while the CNC-machined aluminium handle carries a sculpted soft-touch T-bar knob.
The carbon multi-disc drag supplies up to 25kg of smooth, instant pressure, and the spring-loaded oversized line clip supports consistent distance casting. A floating line guard reduces friction and protects the line on cast and retrieve.
The 4.8:1 gearing retrieves approximately 116cm per handle turn, and the reel weighs 582g.
