Monster KOBO Sword

Largest KOBO Swordfish to date

INTRO

The KOBO Power Reel is being used by some of the top fishing teams in all types of fisheries.  Deep dropping, high speed trolling, trolling, pulling dredges, pulling teasers, and swordfishign the KOBO Power Reel can do it all.  While all these are good use cases we believe swordfishing takes advantage of all the features that set the Power Reel apart from the competition.

Hi speed over 550 FPM and 60+ pounds of pulling force (on a full spool) the reel has performance to keep up with racing fish and pulling force to drive hooks.  Our digital metrics and smooth drag further help to give the the fisherman more control.  Not to mention a smooth drag!

The Booby Trap Fishing team is a hardcore swordfishing team.  Arguably few teams catch as many swords across the Gulf Stream or the Gulf of America.  They fish their 43 Freeman regularly off the east coast of Florida and travel in their 68 Viking between the east coast and Gulf.

The Booby Trap Fishing team have caught more swords on their KOBO Power Reel than any other team and just recently broke the "KOBO Record" with an estimated 650 lbs sword.  This fish was extremely thick at 67" of girth.

This fish was active on the surface several times during the fight.  They regularly ran the reel in the Smart Motor feature.  This allowed the reel to increase and decrease speed based on the drag's response.  3+ hours of a fight and they finally got their shot to land this monster sword out of Miami!
