56 and 78 reels are lightweight, large-arbour reels with well tested sealed disc brake design. Merisuola 78 has the same large-arbour design and brake system as the XO 89 however we have increased the brake power and capacity for this saltwater version of the XO reel.
56 available in XO colors: original, black and orange.
89 size was made to the family for heavier single hand rods as well as switch rods. With thin backing and monofilament running line it has enough capacity even for smaller double handers. The brake system is a slightly tamed version of the bigger and more brutal 910 & 1012 reels (read below) allowing us to make ideal weight reel for the purpose with big enough maximum brake power. The reel’s frame and spool are machined elegantly thin for weight reduction but the wine glass look construction itself makes this reel super rigid.
89 available in XO, Merisuola and Predator version.
910 & 1012 have the XO reel’s stunning look fused with old and famous XLB reel’s bomb proof & powerful brake. The brake mechanism has been used for over 20 years with countless huge fish under its belt and now it’s mounted on this sturdy but beautiful reel family. On these reels this proven brake mechanism is sealed even better than in its predecessors. These bigger reels are aimed for heavy salmon and saltwater use. The brake power increases very linearly within 2,5 rounds, giving you magnificent 8kg maximum force. The waterproofing utilizes axle seals from German Ina and all bearings are from Japan.
910 and 1012 available in XO, Merisuola and Predator version.
XO 12+ reel has enough weight to balance the long double hand rods. It has plenty of line capacity for hundreds of meters of backing with all types of salmon lines and last but not least, a very powerful brake. The brake is upscaled version of the 910 and 1012 reels’ system to tackle the biggest fish in toughest conditions.
