Doug Hannon introduces a new spinning reel design that will hit the fishing industry like a tidal wave! The Hannon-designed "WaveCast System" not only looks different from any other reel, but also performs like no other reel. The WaveCast reel completely eliminates the possibility of a loop in the spool that leads to tangled line, and it is estimated that more than 10% of spinning casts form a loop that most times lead to a tangled spool and "birdnest" snarls. The WaveCast reel is specifically designed to work equally well with both mono and super-braid lines.

The unique, patented "wave" design works by allowing the line to skip from peak to peak on each "wave" on the spool. Loops lie harmlessly down between the waves and never engage the line during the casts, completely eliminating snatchback and birdnests. The WaveCast does not allow a loop to flow backward onto the spool, keeping it secure and tight against the spool face until it leaves, unnoticed,? in normal sequence of the cast.

As all anglers know, tangled spools result in major frustration, wasted time untangling line and re-tying lures, and more money spent on replacement line. And of course time spent untangling and re-tying is time not spent catching fish!

Another major benefit of the WaveCast reel is the ability to cast up to 30% farther than traditional spinning reels. This is accomplished because peak-to-peak minimal spool contact produces virtually no friction as the line comes off the spool. Since it does not offload loops, the WaveCast spool can also be filled to a higher capacity, guaranteeing even longer casts.

Doug Hannon, a world renowned angler known as "The Bass Professor," is the inventor of the weedless trolling motor propellor, which revolutionalized the trolling motor industry. Hannon is an award-winning author and photographer, has had hundreds of articles published in outdoor magazines, and has appeared on an internationally syndicated TV show for more than 15 years. With a record of more than 800 bass over 10 pounds, he is considered by many as the world's greatest authority on bass fishing. Hannon's new WaveCast System represents the first significant improvement in spinning reel design in more than 50 years. The WaveCast reel will forever change and improve the sport of fishing in both fresh and saltwater.

The WaveCast System will debut with a 2007 Classic Collector's Edition spinning reel at the February Bassmaster Classic in Birmingham, Alabama, and will be available for wide distribution by April 2007.
