Ken Matsuura Marlin & Tuna Custom Reel

Tuna Hunter is honored to field test the Ken Matsuura Marlin &Tuna 80.

Tuna Hunter is honored to be field testing the Ken Matsuura Racing Team Marlin & Tuna 80 custom reel, targeting giant bluefin tuna,

Hands-down this is the smoothest, lightest, finest reel we have used in thirty years of giant bluefin tuna fishing.

M & T Reels employ the same very high level of technology as motor sports racing. The " R.D.S" Rolling Drag System is new generation technology from the motor sport racing industry . R.D.S. provides super smooth, constant drag tension at striking fish and stable drag tension against high and low line speed.

The highest level technology drag system , the best materials, the best performance, the best quality , The best finish.

As a full-time, professional fishing charter service we at Tuna Hunter take our tackle seriously. The Ken Matsuura Marlin & Tuna Reel is the finest we have encountered. For more information please contact us at 978-407-1351, and see the complete specifications at Bluefin Tackle International.
