New to the West Coast is our 5 inch Diameter FM5 Monarch Mooching Reel.


  • Made of T6061 Type III hard anodized aluminum, featuring a double pawl system that allows for either right or left hand retrieve.
  • Our new revolutionary design of a 3 part disk drag system consists of 2 carbon / one cork disk provides infinite control and ultimate braking power.
  • Precision Stainless Steel interior components with new technology on the clicker gear: Type III Hard Anodizing. This means lighter gear with extreme durability.
  • Over-sized Delrin Handles allow for easy access to the drag knob to prevent "knuckle busting".
  • A lack of porting on the back allows for personalization engraving.
  • All Monarchs come with an extra drag spring of different thickness to allow for either a one turn quick lock up of the drag, or a few turns to find that sweet spot. A new innovation to the Saltwater Industry. E
  • Extra O-rings, clicker, spring and drag spring included.

If you are fishing it on a downrigger I'd like to know if the drag slips like so many other mooching reels. Thanks.
