BATES EDC 100 CASTING REEL MATTE BLACK

Meet the Bates E.D.C. Baitcasting Reel, your go-to for everyday fishing. Designed for anglers who demand reliability without overpaying for unnecessary extras, the E.D.C. is built tough, priced right, and ready to fish day after day. Its cast aluminum frame delivers lightweight durability that can handle the rigors of daily use — whether you’re on the water at sunrise or sneaking in a quick session after work.

What truly sets this reel apart is its Digitally Assisted Brake (D.A.B.) system — a revolutionary innovation from Bates. The built-in digital chip and electromagnetic braking automatically adjust in real time as you cast, sensing spool speed thousands of times per second. It applies strong resistance at high speeds to prevent backlash and eases up as the spool slows for longer, smoother casts. Best of all, it’s self-powered — no batteries or charging required.

The result? Effortless control, consistent performance, and smart braking that adapts to your cast every single time.
