The Fin-Nor® story is one of enormous fish, exotic places, legendary characters and mechanical wizardry. Celebrated as the “Rolls-Royce of big game fishing reels,” Fin-Nor emerged in the 1930’s out of the hotbed of Miami’s emerging fishing scene, setting more than 380 world big game fishing records, including the largest black marlin and swordfish ever caught on rod and reel. Today, Zebco Brands is introducing Fin-Nor to the next generation of recordsetting anglers. 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 big game anglers and conservationists – women and men – the world has ever known.

Precise, fine-tuning for a totally customized experience. Santiago’s lever system offers a wide range of drag and activates your own custom “STRIKE” setting, with additional strength all the way to “FULL.” The simple push of a button puts the reel into low gear, offering you all the power you need, when you want it. An easy turn of the dial allows the reel to switch back to highspeed for quicker line pickup.

Model

Massive, water-tight drag system.

Santiago’s revolutionary stainless steel drag plate works in conjunction with twin carbonfiber drag plates to create incredibly smooth, long-lasting drag performance specifically designed to handle strong, long-fighting fish. When engaged, it is water-tight to protect your reel’s drag from salt and boat splash.
