Seigler Reels

About

A quick note on availability: Seigler is between production runs right now, so these reels are out of stock and we honestly can't give you a date — but they're not gone for good. Wes and company build some of the finest American-made lever drags out there, and we're hopeful they'll be back. If you've got your eye on one, give us a call or send us a note and we'll tell you what we're hearing on the next run. The story behind the name is a good one, too: Well, it happened again.... What we knew as Release, then Truth, is now Seigler Reels. WTF! The issue has been "tradename infringement." First the folks with Release fighting chairs chased Wes and company over the Release name. Cost of litigation would be well over $100K, so they changed the company name to 100% Truth. That matched the way they did business. But, then comes Truth in Hunting Video's to contest the name Truth - different products, no doubt, but fighting for the right to use the name would again top 100K. Chances are Wes and company would win, but at a cost that makes no one happy but for attorneys. So, we have a new name on the product. SEIGLER REELS is the new name for Truth and Release. Product is the same, WARRANTY the same, ownership is the same, but the tradename changes. I well know what Wes and co went thru on this one, never fun to be embroiled is bs over something so trivial. Well, now the product line goes by the owner's last name, that's something no one can contest or take away! Read more...

They finally have things together, and we're very proud to bring their new gear to your attention. Expect this to be the tip of the iceberg, there are more things planned... 100% Designed, Machined and Assembled in Virginia, USA! In 2015 the folks
