BATES FISHING CO HUNDO LTS CASTING REEL

The Bates Fishing Co. Hundo LTS represents a masterclass in precision engineering designed for the technical purist who demands a high-performance machine for micro-finesse applications. Machined from a solid block of 6061-T6 bar stock aluminum this reel moves away from traditional die-cast or composite bodies in favor of a 9-axis CNC-machined frame. The result is a lightweight ultra-rigid platform that offers a connected feel perfect for detecting the faintest ticks on light-line setups. Key Features: CNC-Machined 6061-T6 Aluminum: Unlike mass-produced reels the Hundo LTS is crafted on a 9-axis CNC machine. This ensures aerospace-grade tolerances resulting in zero frame flex and a perfectly aligned gear train for a silky-smooth retrieve. Skeletonized Finesse Spool: The re-engineered shallow spool is aggressively skeletonized to shed every possible milligram of weight. This ultra-low start-up inertia allows you to cast micro-lures and weightless plastics that would typically require a spinning reel. LTS (Light Tackle System) Braking: The braking system has been specifically tuned for light lines and low-mass lures. It provides the delicate control needed to prevent overruns during high-speed spool rotation without sacrificing distance. Corrosion-Resistant Architecture: Built with high-end corrosion-resistant components and an anodized gunmetal and gold finish this reel is prepared for the rigors of both sweetwater finesse and brackish coastal environments. Refined Aesthetics: The slick gunmetal grey frame accented with anodized gold provides a custom high-end look that reflects the premium machining inside. High-Pressure Specialist: This reel is purpose-built for those make or break days where fish are finicky. Its ability to provide delicate presentations with lighter lines makes it a lethal tool for technical bass fishing.
