The  Islander C5 features a precision-machined spindle and a finely tuned bearing system that ensures
silky smooth operation, crucial for maintaining control over delicate presentations and subtle
drifts. This seamless function is especially valuable when targeting wary fish in clear,
fast-moving streams, where even the smallest detail of your setup can make or break the
experience. The C5’s bearing system is designed to maintain its performance under various
conditions, providing consistent control when it matters most

With a 5-inch diameter and large arbor, the C5 speeds up line retrieval, making it effortless to
manage long drifts and quickly reel in slack line. This design enhances line management
efficiency and helps maintain tension, which is vital for setting hooks and battling fish that make
sudden, powerful runs. The large arbor also reduces floating resistance, allowing the reel to
smoothly spool out line even in slower-moving water. This combination of optimal diameter and
arbor design ensures faster retrieves and improved line handling, making it ideal for anglers
who value precision and speed.

The Islander C5 features a robust travel lock knob that keeps your gear secure during transit—an
essential when moving through dense brush or between fishing spots. The lock mechanism is
designed with a subtle click, providing tactile feedback when turning it on and off. This feature
prevents line spool-out. To prevent premature wear, ensure that you disengage the lock before
fishing.

The Islander C5's intuitive free-spool lever is crafted from solid brass, offering durability and a touch of
classic style. Engineered for smooth, effortless transitions between engaged and free-spool
settings, the brass lever adds a premium feel. A distinctive flick mechanism allows you to adjust
on the fly with just a touch of your finger, keeping your attention on the water instead of your
gear. Its low-profile design minimizes accidental engagement, providing anglers with a seamless
and distraction-free experience.

The C5’s non-directional, interchangeable retrieve system is designed for both right- and
left-handed anglers, ready to fish out of the box without the need for tools or disassembly. The
ambidextrous lever is ergonomically designed for comfort and balance whether you are right or
left-handed.

Crafted from a single block of aerospace-grade aluminum, the Islander C5’s body is precision-shaped on
a 5-axis CNC machine and thoughtfully ported for optimal weight and balance. The modern
design removes weak points, delivering unmatched strength and a stable feel experienced
anglers appreciate during extensive use. The reel is anodized to resist corrosion and wear,
ensuring durability in all conditions. Each reel is meticulously manufactured, tuned, and
hand-tested by expert builders on Vancouver Island. Giving durability and performance anglers
can rely on.
