Blue Heaven L120 No Limits

Marcus Lee:
Hi fellas,

Anyone got info on the latest L120 upgrade? I understand that a beefed-up L120 is in the works.

Thanks

Chris Lian:
Hi Marcus,

I beleive you are talking about the teflon drag plates being replaced by cork drags. These are an after market option. The cork drags will give the reel drag pressure up to 20kg. I have 2 and they both run on cork drags. They have more surface area than the teflon drag plates.

Then there a new small version of the Blue Heavens, the L50 and they run up to 10Kg drags on then for a reel half the size of the L120.

Chris

Cam Foley:
Can't  you get a whole second drag for the Blue Heaven to make it twin drag ?

MattV:
Cam, the L120 is a twin drag reel - you could possibly be thinking of the Pro Gear Oceanus 30, which is upgradable to a twin drag.

As Chris says, the cork upgrade takes the Blue Heaven L120 drag to 20 kg. However, the Blue Heaven "No Limits"reel Marcus refers to is a new model which I believe uses carbon fibre drag washers. I don't think it's available for sale yet. ChrisW will be able to fill you in on the details as I think he's handled one at a Japanese tackle show. One thing for sure; it'll be expensive but beautifully made just like the current L120.

Cam Foley:
I see ,got my reels mixed up ,cheers Matt.
I did get told that they could not sell the Blue Heaven as a twin drag because of the patient Accurate had on the twin drag ,true or not i dont no.
