Imperial Final Field Testing

Here we have one of 3 prototype Imperials. This is the 4 3/4" model being tested in North America. We will also be offering the reel in 4 1/4" which will be better suited for UK conditions and some of the smaller rivers in Canada and the States. The feedback we have got so on this reel is excellent.

'The Big One' Show

Kingpin attended 'The Big One' show in farnborough. What a show. A big turn out and lots of interest in the reels. Lots of interest in Kingpins future plans! Great to get feedback from all the anglers on what they would like to see  in the new Imperial reel.
