Machined in the USA and built to take a beating in the salt.
The SAM 2500 is Bates Fishing Co.'s inshore workhorse, designed for anglers targeting redfish, snook, stripers and — as Bates puts it — dare we say tarpon. A fully sealed drag and sealed body keep grit and salt spray out on long days, and the 6061-T6 billet aluminum frame won't flex when a fish turns on you. If you run the Big O in the morning and the coast in the afternoon, this is the reel built for the second half of that trip. Questions on it? Call the shop at 863-484-5113.
