The new Greys G-Mag Seven sea fishing multiplier reel is a heavy-duty reel said to cast up to 200 yards that can be used for tough shore fishing or taken afloat.
The main gears are marine bronze with a fully supported stainless steel pinion gear to give it strength and cranking power.
During a recent test the reel drag was wound down to take 19lb of pressure, which is significantly better than most other reels in its class.
A unique feature is the easy side plate removal by way of a push-button. Simply by pushing this button and twisting you can expose the spool for maintenance purposes or even changing to a different spool of line.
The spool holds more than enough line for almost any situation, with 330m of 0.35mm mainline easily loaded.
A smaller version named G-Mag Six is also available.
