10 Reasons Working Dads Are Switching to Obalus — and Coming Home With Fish Instead of Excuses

Tight to the dock, under the laydown, right where you were looking. That's where the fish sit, and that's the cast a fighting reel leaves short or in a tangle.

Every Obalus reel is tuned by hand before it ships, so it casts true the first time out of the box.

Eighteen pounds of drag means nothing until something big pulls back. The insides are sealed and treated against corrosion: fish the lake Saturday and the coast Sunday, rinse it under the tap, and it keeps running.

The free Baitcasting Mastery Course is five short video lessons: setup, casting, thumb control, brake settings and upkeep. Watch it once, practice in the yard, then go fish.

A month of PB Fishing Premium comes with it too, so you know when the fish are biting on your water.

Every order is two reels. One for you, one for the boy who keeps asking to come along. Same reel in both hands, so you can show him exactly what you're doing, cast for cast.

Nobody remembers the weather or which lake it was. They remember the fish — and the photo you pass around the kitchen when you walk in the door.

No more "they just weren't biting." The reel just has to get you there.

Reel, rod and braid from one shop, matched to work together and delivered to your door. No gas, no guessing what fits what, no standing in an aisle comparing forty reels you've never heard of.

No commission, no upsell, no guy in a vest telling you that you need the expensive one. You see the price up front, pick your hand, and that's it.

Never used a baitcaster? The free course starts from zero.

That's about $30 a reel. We sell direct, from our shop to your door: no distributor, no store markup, no pro angler on the payroll. What's left is the reel.

It was $69.99 for two. It's $59.99 now.

Cast it, fish it, bring it home dirty. If it's not the smoothest reel you've owned at this price, send it back for a refund. We'd rather lose a sale than keep an angler who isn't happy.

Texas, California, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Tennessee — that's where most of our reels went this summer. Working guys, dads, grandads, and plenty of first-timers.
