    Custom Colored Gorilla 12 EN

    I was impressed with the performance of the Gorilla 12C after landing a nice 20kg GT on jig in Bali. So I decided to order 2 custom colored black and blue Gorillas in the new Extra Narrow (EN) configuration with T-bar for personal use.

    I was literally blown away when the reels arrived at home yesterday! The anodizing is second to none and the EN configuration will make this reel excellent for jigging. Will place these in the shop for viewing...have a look!

    Perfect for bottom and cranking from rod holder...drags are multi-disc Quad drags on both sides of the spool...ultra smooth

    Re: Custom Colored Gorilla 12 EN

    Some guys have asked us about the weight of various jigging reels and how the Gorilla compares...here is a list...specs taken for websites:

    Saltiga Z40 680g
    BOSS 665N
    730g
    SOM Blue Heaven 04 L120
    730g
    OJ 4000P
    760g
    OJ 4000 765g
    OJ 5000P 775g
    Gorilla 12N 780g
    OJ 5000 780g
    SOM Blue Heaven 09 L120 Hi 780g
    SOM Blue Heaven 09 L120 Lo
    780g
    Torsa 16 824g
    Marfix N4 Alpha Tackle 835g
    Torsa 20
    845g
    Marfix S5 Alpha Tackle
    865g
    Marfix W6 Alpha Tackle
    900g

    Standard handle on the Gorilla is 85mm...there will be samples of a 110mm power handle + knob in different colors for the Gorilla at Kaiser soon These were customized by a very well known Japanese Reel Hot Rodding company.

    I understand from them that the one-way bearings in the Gorilla have a waterproofing shield and will not rust easily...they say that the bearings are pretty strong as they have used the Gorilla for jigging many times but have yet to bust a bearing
