They are a pleasure to use and have remained our best selling reel in this price range. The drag features a silky smooth, frame-side, graphite impregnated cork disc system and Islander spools glide effortlessly on precision stainless steel ball bearings. All Islanders are easily convertible without tools for either right or left hand use. Every component is built to withstand the worst of salt water conditions and all models are available in either polished black or anodized gold.

The IR is built for precision and versatility. It is available with a standard arbor spool and the IR3 and IR4 are also available with large arbor spools as designated by the LA in their model number. Using a simple but effective quick-release system, the IR spools can be replaced in seconds with just a flick of your finger. Islander has all but eliminated the problem of end play in the quick release latch with tight tolerances and precision manufacturing. The drag can be adjusted at any moment and is controlled with the adjustment knob on the frame. It adjusts a five position cam to vary the clicker-pawl spring pressure. Islander IR reels are available in either black or gold. Download Manual
