Float fishing is a unique and specific technique. The center pin crowd is dedicated, knowledgeable and passionate about their sport. They are also extremely particular about their tackle. The introduction of the Aventa center pin sets a new standard for what can be expected in a fully machined float reel. The Aventa series is made from solid aluminum bar stock, and is offered in both west coast and east coast styles. The VT000 features the traditional center pin design, with a bronze bushing. The VT1002, with two stainless steel ball bearings is the reel of choice for the east coast. Both models available for a fraction of the cost of the typical float reels. Both precision reels are excellent for casting directly from the reel or for drag free drifts. Model Diameter Line Capacity Bearings VT-1002 4.5" 275/8 2 SUS BB VT-1000 4.5" 275/8 Brass Bushing
