Introducing the Bates Hundo – roughly twenty percent smaller, one hundo percent Bates with the same quality and craftsmanship you’ve come to expect. The Hundo features a gunmetal grey anodized aluminum frame, fully CNC’d from 6061-T6 bar stock on our 9 axis machine. And just to be sure there’s no gimmicks or simple metallic coatings, there a few of the machine paths roughed into the frame making the Hundo an industrial marvel. Beyond just a smaller, 100 sized frame, this reel boasts a new dual braking system along with a shallower spool so the finesse fisherman can easily dial in lighter lines and lures. These feature upgraded some internal components as well, including lighter aluminum gears and improved bearings, which are a combination of 10 HAC Stainless Steel bearings plus 2 high precision NMB ball bearings, and 1 one-way Stainless Steel ball bearing. If your target species or preferred rigging demands a slighter, but more fine-tuned machine, you won’t be disappointed in the Hundo.
