CatalogUE 2011
The historic reels served their time and place well. They deserve the records they hold and the spots earned in trophy cases and antique collections around the world. Times have changed though. Anglers have evolved. Technology continues to advance. Products must be stronger, lighter and more adaptive to specific techniques than ever. Braid and other fishing line improvements are part of the driving force. So, too, is

a return by many anglers to the adventuresome spirit by which Fin-Nor was born in the 1930s. Yet even with change comes familiarity. When genes are good, the resemblances stand out. There is no mistaking the products herein as anything other than Fin-Nor rods and reels. This brand remains true to its lineage.
Marquesa
Precious
gem
Fin-Nor's newest reel series is the ultimate offering of precision, strength and refinement. Marquesa is ideal for fishing the new, thinner braided superlines in a new platform design that is lighter, faster, and stronger than anything you've ever seen on the water. Marquesa is precision-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum, and features one of the strongest drag systems ever put into a reel — stronger, in fact, than many "international-type" reels that are much bigger and heavier. The Marquesa series comes in two models types: a topless model for easy spool access and control, and a model with a top bar (T) that kite fishermen will especially appreciate, as well as the dial that allows custom adjustment of clicker tension. The top bar models (MA20T and MA30T) are pefect for challenging sailfish and the techniques needed to catch them. Marquesas are the perfect reels for tournament fishing or stand-up fishing with newer, stronger lines and fishing techniques. Marquesa is big fish stopping power in a very refined package.

It is with total respect for the history, traditions and excellence of this brand, and with the greatest appreciation for the role that Fin-Nor trolling reels played in writing the history of big game fishing, that we took time and diligence to the extreme in designing Santiago®.
The Santiago® drag system allows you to fine-tune your settings to your line strength and type of fishing. Fin-Nor recommends that customized drag adjustments be done with the push-button drag lever in the “FREE” position.
The new flagship of the Fin-Nor brand, Santiago® is a bold testament to modern technology's greatest advances in fishing reel materials and design, yet leaves no doubt whatsoever as to which family it belongs.
The drag lever offers a wide range of drag and activates your custom “STRIKE” setting, with additional strength all the way to the “FULL” setting. The Santiago® drag can be fine-tuned over a wide range. It is designed for incredibly smooth performance from free spool all the way to total lock-down if desired. An easy turn of the dial allows the reel to switch back to high speed for quicker line pickup The simple push of a button puts the reel into low gear, offering you all the power you need, when you want it, to fight big game fish.
Standard features • Fully machined one-piece aluminum frame • Forged aluminum spool • 4 Ceramic / hybrid ball bearings for support and strength • Push-button and dial-release two-speed shift system • Classic Fin-Nor gold-anodized corrosionresistant finish

The new Fin-Nor Offshore Star Drag reels are built to carry on the family tradition, but do so in a smaller, faster, lighter and stronger casting reel design. There's no doubt about strength because no other reels have as large of a main gear, anti-reverse or ball bearings. There's no question about heart because Offshore Star Drag reels were born with salt in their veins.

Offshore Uptide
A range of boat rods with removable handles, developed for light to moderate sport on the high seas, e.g. the Mediterranean or Norway. Strong enough to tame even the most ferocious quarry without a fighting chair. All models impress with their perfect fight action and first-class finish, including ornate and under-whipping of the robust rod rings.
Uptide rods are the perfect solution when using live baits and the angler wants to combine a powerful backbone with a sensitive tip for sensitive bite indication. Despite its bear-like strength, the Offshore Uptide impresses with its almost feather-light blank and separation into two pieces of equal length. Farewell to the difficulties of transporting standard uptiders with a long tip and short handle.
Offshore Hard Work Equipped for big fish such as catfish, large cod and similar, the Hard Work offers all the advantages of a big fish rod. The uncompromising power, durability and naturally light weight of these rods provide all the ingredients to come out on top against large specimens. And the material itself will tame even the biggest monsters!
Offshore Deep Sea The rod for extreme deep-sea fishing, e.g. in Norway, where heavy weights are used and a normal boat rod is no longer up to the job. Combine an unbeatable carbon blank with the finest features and the result is an absolute gem for deep-sea fans.

Fin-Nor was born during a time when legendary anglers, captains and authors came together in pursuit of the true giants of the seas, especially marlin and tuna. Fin-Nor reels played a key role in the years that followed and accounted for a few-hundred world big game fishing records. Catches of the largest black marlin and swordfish ever taken on rod and reel, 1,560 pounds and 1,182 pounds, respectively, still stand today. Many believe we are once again entering a period when another chapter can be added to the history book. Anglers are better and more mobile than ever. Opportunities abound for modern day adventurers to visit expanded frontiers. Whatever the destination and species, Fin-Nor is poised and ready to prove it is the next and finest generation of saltwater rods, reels and accessories ever made. Let you be the judge.
The Fin-Nor story is one of enormous fishes, exotic places, legendary characters and mechanical wizardry. Fin-Nor: The Legacy Years is a look at the “perfect storm” of circumstances that led to Fin-Nor’s® creation and development in an obscure Miami boat engine repair shop. Fin-Nor’s® story is a fascinating slice of time from a bygone era with appeal for anglers and non-anglers alike. Meticulously researched and compellingly shared, outdoor journalist Bruce Matthews and antique tackle collector Ed Pritchard take you on a journey alongside legendary anglers in their quest for a reel that would help them capture the largest fishes the world has ever seen.
Code 9963 556
As you will read, holding a Fin-Nor reel in their hands today, an angler or collector is connected to a vibrant legacy evolved through the vision and determination of many of the greatest anglers and conservationists – women and men – the world has ever seen.
