Ardent Denny Brauer Signature F-700 Flip-N-Pitch Reel

Ardent teamed with former Bassmaster Classic Champion and current King of Flip-N-Pitch, Denny Brauer, to design the ultimate flippin’ and pitchin’ reel. The result is the Denny Brauer Signature F-700 Flip-N-Pitch Reel which gives anglers the ultimate edge when ripping big bass from heavy-cover. A souped-up, beefier and more efficient version of Ardent’s F-500 reel, the Denny Brauer Signature F-700 Flip-N-Pitch Reel features seven ball bearings and a flippin’ switch which lets anglers use the reel in conventional or flippin’ mode. Constructed with a strong, lightweight aluminum frame and sideplate sporting the Denny Brauer Signature finish, the F-700′s narrow spool and large ceramic line eye reduces friction to allow for smooth effortless casts. The F-700 Flip-N-Pitch Reel is complete with a stainless steel handle, high-strength alloy gear and 22 lb. Perma-Lock Drag System, combining to provide strong hooksets and the power to pull fish out from heavy cover.

Ardent F500 Flip-N-Pitch Baitcast Reel

Packed with features designed to deliver under the toughest conditions, the Ardent F500 Flip-N-Pitch Baitcast Reel is specifically designed for effortless flippin? and pitching. Thanks to the downward sloping front, extra-large line opening, lack of level wind, a wear-resistant ceramic line eye and narrow spool, line friction is minimized so line spools off the F500 Flip-N-Pitch Reel like silk, making flippin? and pitchin? easier, more accurate and more rewarding. The F500 Flip-N-Pitch?s Perma-lock Drag System is factory-set at 28 pounds, making it easy for anglers flipping and pitching heavy-cover to turn a lunker?s head immediately after hook-up, and then keep the fish moving towards the boat. The aluminum alloy frame and covers provide lightweight toughness, while protecting the F500?s five stainless steel ball bearings and stainless steel anti-reverse clutch bearing. The F500 Flip-N-Pitch?s stainless steel handle can manage more stress, force and pressure than standard aluminum handles found on other reels. In short, with the Ardent F500 Flip-N-Pitch Reel, you get a reel that?s easy to use, and hard to break.
