Blue Safari 35

🎣 Blue Safari BS35

A New Standard from SOM: Combining the precision of lever drag with the intuitive operation of star drag.

The "Blue Safari" is the culmination of SOM's years of expertise in pursuing the ultimate lever drag reels. Featuring the revolutionary "WING DRAG" system and a "2-speed level winder" designed to prevent line digging, this reel is packed with innovative features that redefine the 300-class standard. It is the perfect tool for nearly every offshore scenario, from coastal waters to the deep sea.

Revolutionary "WING DRAG" System

The WING DRAG offers the ease of a star drag with the clear, predictable drag values of a lever drag. By moving the "wing" forward or backward, you can adjust the drag in 4 distinct stages. After setting your initial value with the preset knob, each click provides a consistent change of approximately 400g to 500g.

• Setting Method (From Weakest): Set the wing to the fully retracted position (pulled toward you), adjust the preset knob to your starting value, and then push the wing forward to increase drag in stages.

• Intermediate Setting: Set the wing to the center position and adjust the preset knob. This allows for 2 stages of reduction (pulling back) and 2 stages of increase (pushing forward).

Quick Spool Change System

The system allows for easy spool replacement by loosening a single screw on the gearbox side. This enables anglers to adapt to different targets or depths during a single trip without changing the entire reel.

1. Standard Spool: PE #2 - 300m (Covers coastal light jigging and bluefish)

2. Deep Spool (Optional): PE #2 - 600m (Designed for mid-deep sea jigging)

3. Shallow Spool (Optional): PE #1.5 - 300m (For even lighter finesse styles)

Winding Power Inherited from Blue Heaven

Equipped with an aluminum machine-cut gearbox/frame and high-module gears inherited from the Blue Heaven series. The superior body rigidity prevents distortion under heavy drag loads, resulting in a 9% increase in winding efficiency compared to other 300-class reels on the market.

2-Speed Level Winder

This synchronized level winder features two distinct speeds. By alternating between "close winding" and "cross winding," it prevents the line from digging into itself under high tension, allowing you to fight large fish with total confidence.

High-Durability and Specialized Design

• Ultra-Durable Clutch: Unlike the plastic components found in many reels of this class, the BS35 uses stainless steel for the clutch bar and cam. A DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating ensures smooth operation and reduced friction even under heavy use.

• Waterproof Drag: The multi-disc carbon drag system is protected by a waterproof rubber seal, preventing saltwater intrusion and ensuring consistent performance in harsh offshore conditions.

• Wide Spool: The wide profile minimizes the change in retrieve length per turn as line is let out, ensuring your jig action remains exactly as intended regardless of depth.

Variable Handle Design

Equipped with the AG41 knob for serious fighting power. The handle arm features a variable system (76mm or 63mm).

• 76mm (Counter-Balanced): Ideal for jigging bluefish where precise jig manipulation is required.

• 63mm (Full-Balance): Perfect for Tai-rubber or Hairtail jigging, where smooth, constant-speed retrieval is key.
