From the lower Laguna Madre up to Matagorda Bay, down the Brazos and across every Lone Star lake, Bates Fishing El Jefe Baitcast Reel was built for “the boss”, no matter which water you might rule. Keeping in step with the rest of the Bates line of reels, El Jefe features a solid 1-piece aluminum frame that’s CNC-cut from 6061-T6 bar stock aluminum anodized blue for corrosion resistance. It’s equipped with the finest combination of guts and components to give every angler unrivaled performance and reliability. 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 El Jefe baitcast reel include adjustable magnetic brakes, titanium crank arm, 17-lb drag, 33″-per-crank line pickup, and laser-engraved cork grips and thumb bar. Includes custom neoprene reel case.
