Originally developed for the Japanese market these delightful reels are now available worldwide. The three-inch model is designed to take three or four weight lines. It’s built to complement perfectly modern, lightweight, carbon rods or a six or seven foot bamboo wand. It’s designed for brook work, for smaller rivers and perhaps those shallow, limpid bays on pools or larger lakes. Its pear-dropped perforations in both the spool and the frame have made it so extraordinarily light you can barely feel its presence. And whilst beauty is an overworked term, it’s surely applicable here: the Bouglé’s grey frame and silver spool and plate combine with extraordinary discretion and charm. Alternatively, the Bouglé Agate mirrors the MkV with racing green frame and champagne gold spool, but also features an agate line guard for ultimate protection of valuable lines.

You enjoy the peace of the countryside, the brain-teasing challenges of the smaller river with its wily stock of native trout. Fishing for you is more than big bags, big fish, big headlines. You’re into the subtleties of life. This is exactly why we offer you the Bouglé lightweights.

The new Cascapedia MkII is a stunning lightweight version of one of the classic reels of all time. The reel retains its looks, its charm and its quality but it is brought so bang up to the minute that it will perfectly blend in with modern rods. What you’ve got here is a true fishing version of an ageless classic.

Available in four sizes, two trout and two salmon, the #2/3/4 and #5/6/7 versions offer a wide ranging click check whilst the larger #8/9 and #10/11 feature a powerful disc drag capable of stopping the largest salmon. The drag regulator button also has a pointer for easy reference in the heat of battle. The matt black side plates give a high tech sleek appearance that is perfectly complemented by the rims, which are hand-polished to a mirror-like finish. Above all, the ‘S’ shaped handle is retained, the immediate emblem of this magnificent reel.

The new Cascapedia MkII is a reel to collect, to look at, to treasure. But above all, it’s a reel for the modern day, to be used with pleasure and admiration.
