I hear a lot of people on here complain about almost every reel known to man and everybody has their preferences. But if you want to take a look at what I think (again according to a few I don't know much) is the best made big game reel made in the world. They are made in Italy so you Sicilians don't get worked up yet. J/K. They have been making reels since I believe 1958. And their is a little known car company by the name of Ferrari that makes their parts for them especially all of their drag washers. The drag washers are made of carbon fiber and those of you that are familiar with drag washers and carbon fiber know why this is an awesome combination. It also has several features that I won't bore you with the details, but it has the clicker on the right side of the reel, it has a stop to where you cannot accidentally flip into free spool or increase the drag, and you can put away those hand scales, because they have preset drags determined by the lever that adjusts as the spool is emptied. So if you want to see the first one imported to Pensacola, I will have it at the Bud Light capt. meeting at flounders fri. night and yes Bodacaious and Xanadu are invited as well.

| We sell everol reels here at top gun tackle in orange beach. We currently have five models in stock but can get additional models in a couple days time. I definitely agree on the quality and I must say that I've worked on a lot of different big game reels and there is no doubt that these are built to withstand anything. They feature much larger drag washers than similar sized reels and also sport the most heavy duty gears I've seen.

I was hoping these good ol' boys would keep using their 20 year old technology with their PENN Internationals imported from believe it or not Philadelphia, PA. God bless US Steel.

I've fished with them before in NC, but never had a big bite to test and I surely don't know the technology. I have Accurates that are great, but they're kind of garage queens if you know what i mean. I personally think the best trolling reel for the money is the V series International with Shimano a very close second. Actually, it probably comes down to what anodizing you like better, but I hate the fact that there is a hydrothermal drag adjustment pile of crap hidden in the Shimanos waiting to explode.
As for the Everols, I have some questions. First, does the drag come preset from the factor at whatever rate and you can move it up and back or do you have to set the drag to equal the number and then it's scaled?
Can you post some close ups of the drag slide?
Also, the clicker on the right seems like it might be prone to hitting with the hand while cranking. What's the deal?

You going to make do all of the work??? So I guess this is the way of you calling truce?/ But to answer your questions because I respect the company and the guys at Outcast. I will give you a little taste. Yes the drags are preset from the factory to a .10 of a pound. So you old timers can put away your little hand scales. Yes their drag washers are carbon fiber. For a definiton go get your handy medical device encylopedia. For the rest of the story you'll have to buy me a Cubra Libra with Anejo. Right SET4LIFE?

| The clicker is on the left side plate not the right and yes the drag does come preset from the factory in both the single speed and 2-speed without a preset lever to adjust yourself. The new waterproof series does come with a preset function for those who still want to set the drags themselves. As far as "best" offshore reels goes, I think that will always be a toss up for the beholder.

No, I absolutely think you're a shrimp dick asshole and wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire. But, this is a civil place so I was trying to ignore you and behave with some decorum. Never confuse my civility with anything other than polite disgust, however. As far as whatever the hell you're talking about regarding Outcast, you lost me. The don't carry Everol. And as for old timers, boy, you're probably older than me. Carbon fiber must seem like some new technology to an idiot - maybe it's magic.
And, I wouldn't share my good booze with a piece of shit like you for anything. You're not worth two squirts of piss in a bag no matter what you think of yourself. And why you would bring the quality name of Lou's boat into this conversation is beyond me.

So, you say the drag is preset and labeled so if I were to set up at 28# at strike, there's a mark on the side for what that drag would be at each point in between? You can still adjust the reel up or down during the fight to compensate for spool size changes, right?

Is this guy a real person???? To clarify, Outcast does/will be carrying EVEROL reels. Which you don't need to worry about because you probabably can't pronounce EVEROL or Ferarri or hell even Italy. And god knows you wouldn't know what to do with one. So if you don't have anything to add to this conversation why don't you go play in another sandbox so it you can make you feel better to use those big bad words. You say you work for TOP CONSTRUCTION Inc. They must be proud. As far as Lou and Scott goes we happen to be friends. Next time you speak to them make sure you ask them about our 2 trips to Fourchon last year. So you want to buy my 2 Penn Internationals II 50W I have for sale. I'll tell you what I will give them to you. So I can write them off on my taxes for charity so I can go buy another EVEROL. Hey Chris you still have Southbound for sale. Want to talk after the season? So I can compete with big boy here. Let me know. Good Night XANADU.

First, idiot boy, Everol is not made by nor associated with Ferrari. I just read their entire website and it says they use the same material. It does not say that Ferrari makes any of their parts nor does it say there is any affiliation simply that the carbon fiber is the same. As for Outcast carrying them, who cares? The reels look good and the site is very informative.
But, with a spokesman like you, I'm sure nobody is going to want them. Anyway, next time I talk with Lou, I'll be sure to ask what he possibly saw that would make him think you were a decent human being. I'm sure he was mistaken or you must be a completely different person face to face.

| personally, i kind of enjoy reading xanadu's posts. i never said anything before regarding this but as the owner of 2 everol reels, feeding frenzy is blowing smoke out his ass. There is no ferrari endorsement, as xanadu said, so stop speaking of the two as if they are associated in some way. I do agree that everol reels are without a doubt the finest reels i have touched, but you talk of them as if they are some kind of new technology. If you were as well versed as you think you are, you would have researched a bit and see than their claim to fame is their simplicity and the fact that they are essentially the same parts that was used 50 years ago in their original reels. And another thing, I dont know you, feeding frenzy, nor do i know if you are as experienced of an angler as you claim, but your little childish insults and stabs at people who regularly post knowledgeable information make YOU look like the idiot. No offense, but you sound like a child. Now please, someone who has fished in the last day or 2, give me a water color report to the east!!

I am not a very smart guy, but they must be doing something right. Let's see carbon fiber vs. steel, aluminum, and cork MMMMMMM. And again who is using foul language here on a public forum and who is insulting who. And I am the idot. What boat do you fish? and we will compare notes and experience.

There is nothing to figure out. Your not posting any information that was not posted here over half a year ago. So ill leave it to you to figure that one out smart guy. 
......................................................................................................... It's better to have enough ideas for some of them to be wrong then to always be right by having no ideas at all.

| Back to the subject and your question Xanadu; Yes you can still move the drag lever to the appropriate point to maintain the same level of pressure during the fight. There are three different scales on the sideplate; one for full spool, one for half spool, and one for a near emty spool. By learning the drag curve on the reel you can make on the fly adjustments during the fight and still be reasonably accurate even if your spool diameter falls in between one of these levels.

Damn boys. Those sound like personal threats on a public forum. I wonder how the FBI and the local police dept. feel about that. What do you think Chris??? Am I suppose feel intimitated. I got one word for you " Scarface" don't forget where I am from "BOYS". Tunapopper don't give these fellas too much information they may actually be able to put 2 and 2 together and go make a real investment in an EVEROL.

Why don't you give them a call and ask their opinion. Let me know if you need the numbers. And let's see the Alabama record holder for blue marlin by the name of Marcus Kennedy.

I don't why don't you ask Spencer about it and who is he fishing with on Sunday. Good luck.
