Ardent Apex Denny Brauer Flipping Reel Winners

Close-in combat in the heaviest of cover is what Denny Brauer hung his hat on during his pro career. Flipping and pitching jigs and his favorite plastic where the big ones live won him both a Classic and an Angler of the Year. The tools used have gotten better than when he won all those tournaments but he was front and center in the evolution of the Ardent Apex Flipping Reel

Designed to be used flipping and pitching with pinpoint accuracy features a narrow arbor spool, a fixed line guide for more power and weighs a lightweight 5.9 ounces. It also packs 11 pounds of drag and a carbon fiber handle for wrenching the biggest fish out of the largest snarls. Eleven bearings makes is smooth as silk too. Having one will add to your arsenal of tools by technique.

In this giveaway we are going to give you a chance to win one of these reels for yourself.
