HBX Reel
E M N AD G E L I A N ND
Hand built in Alnwick, England utilising over 140 years of reel building tradition and heritage. The HBX reel combines cutting edge modern cosmetics and technology, with the hand built quality of all of our Made in England reels.
The range caters for both freshwater and saltwater scenarios, from brook Trout to Tarpon and everything in-between.
The HBX reels are low maintenance to allow you to concentrate on what is important. The drag systems are both fully flushable with freshwater, meaning minimal maintenance.
