Winner of Field & Stream Magazine's prestigious 2008 "BEST of the BEST" Award is growing

PORT RICHEY, Fla. - The ripple effect is becoming more of a wave as the latest innovation to fishing, the WaveSpin reel with its patented spool that makes loops irrelevant by eliminating tangles and birdnests, has added two larger models to its lineup, while receiving more accolades.

Joining the multi-award winning DH3000 that launched the WaveSpin name are the newest DH4000 and the DH5000 models. The 4000 weighs 12 oz, the 5000 is 12.5 oz.

Other than the physical size all three WaveSpin reels are identical in appearance, quality, features, saltwater certified and come with an exclusive two-year unlimited warranty. The reel, with its uniquely designed spool lip of smoothly rounded teeth - "waves" that eliminate tangles -, also features a maintenance port and a patented no-tool quick-strip spool allowing anglers to slip off the entire amount of old line in one clump without tedious stripping.

WaveSpins have heartier drag systems with big game capabilities

Inventor Doug Hannon said WaveSpin is getting calls and letters from anglers using its DH3000 telling of successful big game fish fights they've had and the huge benefits of the drag.

As he did with the 3000 model, Hannon and his engineers have incorporated gutsier drags employing multiple discs on WaveSpin's newest reels for the ability to land bigger fish.

Using space age technology the 3000 now produces 31 lbs of drag (typically 7 - 11 lbs on other reels) ideal for example panfish, bass, walleye and northern pike.

The DH 4000 has 45 lbs of drag and is meant for fish in the 10 - 50 lb range such as muskie, salmon, and light inshore fishing for redfish, blues, snook, bonefish and permit, etc.

With 63 lbs of drag the DH5000 is great for larger species i.e. catfish, salmon and saltwater inshore/offshore fishing for king mackerel, dorado (dolphinfish), tarpon, sailfish, etc.

"When big fish outmatch your fishing line, the drag system becomes your only line of defense," said Hannon. "Jerky drags cause break-offs. The new WaveSpin drag is so smooth that neither you nor the fish can feel when it starts or when it stops. Smooth, yes, but we also offer more than three times the standard drag tension and capabilities of most spinning reels

giving you the edge over the biggest and strongest of fish."

More accolades

In addition to the 2008 "Best of the Best" award from Field & Stream and praise from Outdoor Life Magazine fishing editor Jerry Gibbs who wrote that the reel represents "the first significant improvement in salt- and freshwater spinning-reel design in more than 50 years," WaveSpin has picked up accolades in other publications. Giving a thorough test to a reel he bought Washington (D.C.) Times outdoors editor Gene Mueller wrote a rave review as did Miami (Fla) Herald outdoors writer Susan Cocking in a syndicated feature appearing in newspapers across the country (see testimonial page on WaveSpin's web site: www.wavespinreel.com ).
