Description
BILLY PATE BONEFISH 7/8/9 LHW FLY FISHING REEL WITH REEL BAG MADE BY T. JURACSIK
The Billy Pate Bonefish, designed and machined by master craftsman Ted Juracsik (Tibor Reels), is a historic, saltwater-grade powerhouse. Unlike the smaller “Trout” model, the Bonefish size was specifically engineered to survive blistering flat runs from heavy bonefish, permit, permit-sized jacks, and light tarpon.
SPECIFICATIONS:
- Line Weight Classification: Built explicitly for 7-weight, 8-weight, and 9-weight (7-9 wt) fly lines.
- Frame Diameter: 3 ½ inches (89 mm) with a frame width of 1 ⅝ inches.
- Physical Weight: 8.2 ounces empty. It is intentionally hefty to properly counter-balance heavy 9-foot saltwater graphite rods.
- Line Capacity: A massive capacity vault built to hold a standard WF8F line + 285 yards of 20 lb dacron backing (or a WF9F line + 275 yards of backing).
- Drag System: Features an oversized, saltwater-sealed cork disc drag system paired with double anti-reverse dogs and an external rim-control palming edge for added manual braking.
- Retrieve Direction: Factory set and non-convertible. Like all classic Billy Pate models, you must buy it as either a dedicated Right-Hand Wind (RHW) or Left-Hand Wind (LHW) model.
