The Reel: The Tica Flash Surf FS10000 is a surf reel that offers fishermen a precision build and silky smooth feel at a comfortable price point. This reel weighs in at a light 535gm, making it ideal for building an ultra-light surf combo. Carbon is used for the frame, rotor, and handle, to keep the weight down but also to keep the frame rigid and strong.There is a small lubrication port on the main body, giving easy access to lube the main gear. The 5.2:1 gear train runs fast and smooth on 7 RRB ball bearings, giving a line retrieval rate of 114cm per handle turn. Fitted with a long shaft and long cast spool and a slow oscillation lets line wind perfectly back onto the spool with no line overlap, resulting in perfect long casts. The Rod: Tica Kazumi Gold Medal surf casting rods are constructed using 40T high modulus interwoven carbon fibre. The 4.5m 3 piece slim line blank features a hybrid tip constructed from high-strength graphite for more power and accurate casting.
