We asked our B.A.S.S. Elite Series pro staffers to help us design a “dream reel.” A reel they would want in their hands during clutch time of a must-win tournament. One they could count on to consistently outperform and over-deliver. The result? Pinnacle’s new Tournament Class Optimus™ XLT. Every material, component and feature has been carefully selected and incorporated to optimize your overall angling performance. From the ultra-strong and rigid “X-Bone” metal frame with gold titanium side covers, to the 11 double-shielded stainless steel bearings, to the blazing fast 7.3:1 retrieve. For serious bass anglers, it’s a dream come true.

“To say I’m impressed with this reel is an understatement. I’m blown away. It looks like a work of art…and it fishes even better than it looks. Smoothness, power, speed, castability – the Optimus XLT delivers on all fronts.”

– Dave Wolak, B.A.S.S. Elite Series Angler
