The Bates Hundo'50 is a tournament-grade, low-profile baitcasting reel built for serious anglers who refuse to compromise. Every unit is 100% CNC machined, hand-assembled, and quality-tested in the USA — backed by a 2-year limited warranty and lifetime access to Bates Fishing customer support. Engineered with a rigid one-piece aluminum frame and ultra-light carbon fiber side plates, the Hundo'50 weighs just 6.8 oz (193g) — one of the lightest reels in its class. It carries the compact frame of a 50-size reel with the larger spool capacity of a 150, giving you the best of both worlds on the water.
