:HELM PRO — braid-backed, plus Lures
Our top offshore outfit. The :HELM reel — but spooled the way serious BIG GAME crews rig their reels.
The spool carries roughly 580 m of Hercules 8-strand PE braid (180 lb / 0.7 mm) as backing, spliced to an 80 m monofilament topshot (1.5 mm / 200 lb) with a hand-tied FG knot.
Why braid + topshot for offshore trolling:
2× the line capacity of pure mono at the same diameter — real insurance when a big tuna, marlin, or wahoo decides to run. Mono where the fight happens. The 80 m topshot absorbs strikes and headshakes, protects against chafe and stays gentle on the drag stack.
Arrives mounted-ready with the marine-grade Sunbrella cover.
