Title: IRT Reels
Post by: Esox obsessed on March 28, 2025, 06:34:36 AM
I just bought the irt 200 reel and am waiting for pike season to open so i can throw my pike lures ( i usually get more bass then pike either way) and was wondering if anyone else uses irt reels and what to expect  Besides them being high end and sending it back once a year

They also recently came out with a smaller freshwater reel model

I haven't heard anything about them. But, very curious what you think about them. Love the idea that they are American made!!

Have about probably between 15-20 hours of use now

Feel great casts extremely well with the maxcuatro
I know i could get more with a slihtly different casting technique but don't want to break my rod tip doing that again

Am yet to actually get a fish on it
