DESIGN
Our reels have been developed by our teams of engineers and designers in France on Cestas.
In the heart of the Gironde and close to many fishing spots such as the large lakes of South West, Pyrenean rivers and even the Atlantic Ocean, we design, test and improve our products on a daily basis so they are both light and resistant.
Our reels are also tested and approved by several anglers: team members, customers, and even fishing guides.
