THE RAINMAKER CENTERPIN REEL

A Blend of Style and Class

The Rainmaker, the result of ongoing development from Canada Fishing Reels for those who want a drag reel with a traditional look and feel. It comes complete with a fully rounded bronze rim, bronze handle pins, acrylic matching handles, brass drag lever, ABEC 7 bearings, and a dust plate in back of the spool face. The drag system is a "set and forget" style with drag tension adjusting screws in the spool cap. There is an optional drag knob available for those who prefer to adjust the brake tension with their fingers. The drag system has both a winding clicker and an audible (outgoing) drag clicker. The Rainmaker is not offered as a clicker brake reel.

A bit of history on this reel is in order. My good friend Simon Wood has been a field tester during the development of the Canada Drifter drag reel. After many hours of fishing with the reel he declared it a winner. A while after that he told me that some day he wanted me to make him his "dream reel". He even had a name already picked out; Rainmaker. A while after that we set about discussing what it would be like.......and what it would be like is what you see below. We took the Canada Drifter drag system, made the reel a bit bigger in diameter for the "unique" factor, made the spool a bit narrower, totally redesigned the porting, and then added the bronze rim and accent pieces. The dark maroon brown was chosen to compliment the bronze pieces and the gold dust plate as a further accent. There is no doubt that Simon has an eye for what a great reel should look like. We hope you agree.
