Description
Get ready to turn back the clock with Bates Fishing Co.’s latest masterpiece, the “O.G.” This isn’t just any old reel; it’s a throwback to the classics, a nod to the original baitcasters that sparked the fishing passions. But don’t let its vintage vibes fool you; the O.G. is built with cutting-edge manufacturing techniques to ensure top-notch performance. With a fully machined frame, like the rest of the Bates lineup, the O.G.’s round, 100 size exterior houses a set of guts and gears nearly identical to the popular Hundo model. For the swimbait enthusiasts and all you anglers trying to best the world’s light tackle records, did suit the O.G. up with a set of brass gears, but please for now, lay off the tuna and larger gamefish. Even a reel as tough as your grandaddy has its limits. With gear like O.G. that seamlessly blends nostalgia with innovation, you’re bound to hook into a new memory or two good enough for some shoebox full of polaroids. So, if you’re yearning for the good days on the water, upgrade to the O.G. and experience the best of both worlds.
