Islander TR3 Trolling Reel
The heart of the Islander TR3 Trolling Reel is its all new drag system made from an ultra-high performance drag material known for its low coefficient of friction, durability and consistent performance across wide temperature ranges. Disks are laser cut then sandwiched between alternating layers of stainless steel. The result is silky smooth performance, zero start-up inertia and more than enough power to stop the hardest fighting chinook. Fishing in the Pacific Northwest will never be the same.

The drag system is incredibly smooth and holds strong even when fighting large chinook. The aluminum body feels solid and the paddle handles are comfortable to use. I’ve fished in both coastal and inland waters and it performs well in all conditions.

Great build quality and the two-tone finish looks professional. The drag is responsive and reliable, though it’s a bit heavier than some other reels. Still, it’s a solid choice for serious trolling.

Fished in the Pacific Northwest this season and the reel handled the cold and rough conditions well. The sealed drag system didn’t show any wear, and the ported handles made casting easier.
