Fishing Tackle Report: The Fox Santos 3200FD Sea Fishing Reel

As a devoted fisher, I am contented with any type of angling. But there is something special about launching your lure into the deep blue sea. This ancient art reaches all the way back to the forming of human societies. For ages, we have searched for food in the seas; now, many of us enjoy fishing for sport. It doesn't matter if I am out on a windy beach or boat fishing, I am undeniably attracted to the sea. Thus, I keep my fishing tackle at the ready, and in the off-season, I enjoy adding to my collection. Recently, I've acquired quite a nice reel from Fox: the Santos 3200FD. Read on for a brief review.

Fishing Tackle: Major Components of the Fox Santos 3200FD Reel

You can pay £70.00 and acquire a feature-filled fishing reel which is much better than alternate reels in its category. With its light and strong graphite body, as well as the fast-release spool system, this particular reel has both a double and a single handle. Furthermore, the reel comes with two free alloy extra spools (one shallow and one deep), which makes it a remarkably good value. The gear ratio is 5.2:1, and the reel is fitted with a durable roller bearing and a twist-free roller. The front drag has a grit guard, and the spools are easy to change, thanks to a one-touch button rather than the usually cumbersome screw mechanism. With 10 ball bearings along with the roller bearing, the 3200FD operates very smoothly. In addition, it has a durable shaft made of stainless steel. It also has a very fashionable look. Everything is not in its looks though; this reel can back up those looks with by the force it exhibits when fighting and succeeding against a large fish (20lbs or more). Although the 3200FD weighs more than others in its class, it's a perfect reel to use with heavier lines.

Fishing Tackle: Supplemental Facts on the 3200FD Reel

Like the other 2 reels in the Santos range, the 3200FD is machined from high quality, strong and lightweight aluminium stock. The reel contains 8 stainless steel ball bearings, and it includes a gear train crafted from stainless steel. Any backlash in the gear system is totally avoided by use of an infinite anti-reverse system. Two parts which support excellent line management are a thick bail arm and a very big line roller. It contains a precision drag system that's robust, but still smooth. An important part of the drag system's efficient design are the unique high-modulus, extra-large diameter carbon drag washers.

Fishing Tackle: About Fox

Since I was wondering about this business which makes this top-quality reel, I made a few inquiries. I found out that Fox is the hugest personally owned fishing tackle firm in Europe. Their items are sold in the US, Russia and 28 more countries. It contains an enormous European distribution industrial division on the border of Belgium and Holland, even though Fox's headquarters is located in the UK. The business provides work for more than 100 people.

Quality Fox fishing tackle such as the Santos 3200FD reel needs to be a part of all fishermen's tackle boxes.
