Never before has a reel enjoyed such success as The Pflueger Skilkast Reel, a combination of skilled workmanship and engineering. The Mechanical Thumber automatically thumbs the spool; adjustable to suit the line and lure used, and to the casting style of the fisherman. The Skilkast is suitable for all fresh water fishing, especially Bass, Pike, Muskallunge, Pickerel and Wall-eyes.

When you see that My Bait Shop sticker on the side of the box you will know your lures were packed safely.
TARIFFS AND FEES: Please note our prices do NOT include any tariffs or fees that are due in your country upon receipt. At this time we are not able to accomodate all of these into the pricing. It is the responsibility of the buyer to handle / account for these. In the future we may add these into the international pricing calculations if there are systematic ways to do this and they don't change constantly. Thank you for understanding.
