Description

The IS (Islander Steelheader) is a purist centerpin reel for the avid steelhead fisherman. It offers a free-running spool which enable long casts and smooth drifts for more hook-ups. It has an engageable two-way clicker which prevents line over run while playing your fish. A large diameter spools enable rapid line retrieval. It has a number of improvements from its popular predecessor, the Pacific Steelheader. These include a redesigned spool with an enhanced palming rim surface, a fully machined reel foot, and through-bolted, serviceable handles (like other Islanders). Mastering a reel like this rewards you with the ultimate experience of playing a fish on a fine centerpin reel.

Like all Islanders, Steelheader reels are built to take abuse. A thick aluminum frame and spool with a large stainless steel spindle give the Steelheader a very solid reputation. While taking on a 35-pound chinook is not its intended use, you can. Also, there is no need to convert from the left-handed to right-handed retrieve because of its ambidextrous design.

  • Bearings - The Steelheader runs on 2 ABEC 3 shielded stainless steel ball bearings.
  • Click Drag - If desired, it provides a slight drag when engaged. The clicker also prevents line from spooling off between uses.
  • Free-spool Button - Completely disengages the clicker for free-spool operation and casting.
