Tica Scepter GTY1000 Long Cast Surf Reel

The Tica Scepter GTY1000 is a high-performance long cast surf reel perfect for New Zealand beach and rock fishing. Designed for maximum casting distance, its slow oscillation system improves line lay on the spool, reducing friction and increasing casting range in demanding surf conditions.
