MASTERY SERIES - SILVER PARADIGM | |
The Silver Paradigm is the new version of the highly successful Black side Custom Paradigm Reel. The beautiful sides
are made of polished alloy 752 Nickel Silver.
A truly elegant reel is reminiscent of the great Kentucky reels of the 19th century like the Talbot Ben Hur or the
pretty little Meek reels. These silver reels are a joy to make and opportunity to partake in the old tradition
of fine metal work in reel making.

CUSTOM PARADIGM DRAG SYSTEM | |
The Design harkens back to the original Kovalovsky salt water reel drag design and much later the Bogdan salmon reels. The Spool drives the large drum which is 'braked' by the two cork lined outer shoes. This is an exceptionally smooth drag and completely adjustable so much so it can properly handle 7x through 1x for limestone trout on up to silver salmon.
This drag system first designed for the Godfrey Salmon Reels back in 86 and applied to the geared Custom Trout Reels of the 90's. Now we produce the classic style Mastery Series Paradigm Reel with the same great drag system design.
Starting in 2021 the drag system is upgraded to work with application of oil and grease including 100% Neatsfoot oil. Dunking the reel may be done, but avoid introduction of sand!
