THE KINGPIN ZEPPELIN 500
Pay attention to how the spokes of the spool concave in the middle. This is the same on every plane giving the reel a completely bridged design which makes it 5x stronger than anything else available
Check the slot-less handle axles out that hold the hand polished handles in place. These are made in house along with everything else on the reel. You will notice that a lot of the reels on the market use 'of the shelf' general purpose screws, including the 'hand made' reels!
The slots we mill into the inside of the drum where the lines lays really emphasis's the precision milling. Making them only 3mm in width is much harder and more time consuming. Most reels have no slots but the ones that do are not like this!
