When WaveSpin was first introduced five years ago the “radical” tangle-free wave design was considered a gimmick to some. Yet those who tried the affordably priced reels found WaveSpin to indeed be a well thought-out reel, winning numerous awards and impressive accolades from mainstream fishing media and serious angling technicians alike.
“Bass Professor” Doug Hannon re-invented the reel with a unique wave spool design, the antithesis of the spinning reel’s smooth face fabrication used for over six decades. Since then WaveSpin’s popularity has spread across the U.S. with thousands upon thousands of “tangle-free” anglers making longer, effortless casts and having more lure time in the water.
WaveSpin debuted four reels at the 2011 ICAST fishing tackle trade show with several advancing to the final rounds of more magazine competitions. Some test reels are matched with CastAway’s (www.castawayrods.com) new series of Microwave rods – another Hannon patent – eliminating the distance robbing slap of the line so apparent in old style spinning rods. The result is faster, farther and more accurate casts that can’t be matched by any other spinning rod.

The young reel company now has a growing family of guaranteed tangle-free models in a variety of affordable price ranges starting at $45.95 MSRP. All are backed by tough multi-disc drags with more tension and smoother operation than any other reel on today’s market.
