Buy New! Bates Fishing The Goat Baitcast Reel

This isn’t your daddy’s bait caster. Bates Fishing The Goat Baitcast Reel is a true marvel of modern ingenuity and craftsmanship. You’d expect nothing less from the G.O.A.T. Each reel begins as a solid block of 6061-T6 bar stock aluminum and is cut on a 9-axis CNC machine bringing each shape and specification to life with the highest level of precision technology can achieve. Frames are then assembled and anodized with a clear-coat finish. The 10+1 stainless steel bearings have an anti-corrosion coating. Stainless steel and titanium drag assembly with water-tight seal delivers reliable performance. Other highlights of the Goat baitcast reel include adjustable magnetic brakes, titanium crank arm, 20-lb drag, 26″-per-crank line pickup, and laser-engraved cork grips and thumb bar. Includes custom neoprene reel case.
