To order from this page just make your selections and click on the "Add to Cart" button or the "Buy" link. If you run into difficulties please make use of our toll-free line and give us a call. Our phone numbers, fax and email addresses are posted at the bottom of this page. Upon placing your order you'll receive an immediate confirmation via email. You are not billed at that time. We process orders manually, preferring to have a human actually check things over and contact you should there be questions. Within 24 hours of placing your order you will receive a follow-up email confirmation and final invoice reflecting your total charges (Monday-Friday). You are not billed until we actually send you your final invoice. Orders shipped to CA addresses will have California Sales Taxes applied, out of state orders are tax free. Orders over $100 are shipped FREE!* Standard size/weight orders less than $100 are billed $8.50 for shipping. During the ordering process you can select expedited shipping if required. (Within the USA we ship via UPS ground. International, and oversize/weight items will be billed for shipping and you will be sent an emailed invoice reflecting total charges prior to actual billing. We will not ship without you having had a chance to review the invoice). Caution, we've been experiencing major delivery problems with this manufacturer. Could be that they are going out of business or facing some other financial issues. As a result, the inventory we have on hand is all that's available at the present time. We've had several requests for devices to remove line from reels, and for line maintenance. With the advent of Spectra lines, innovated by Izorline almost 10 years ago, some folks have taken an interest in line "washing" to prolong the service life of their Spectra as well as prevent an accumulation of salts on the line and reel spool. We've seen a vigorous debate about the merits of line washing. My own bias is against taking the time and trouble to wash the line. If it costs me a spool 10 or more years from now, I can live with that given the time it takes to unwind and wind up the line. But, many anglers are giving serious thought to taking the line off and washing it, then putting it back on a reel. Swifty makes THE device for this maintenance. Their products are well engineered, well made, and well thought out. They offer a wide range of products for line winding and maintenance.

Swifty Nu-Skin Reel Armor Here's another new Swifty product, Nu-Skin Reel Armor. Tired of having your expensive, beautiful machined aluminum anodized reel scratched and banged up? Want to extend the good looks many more years? Well, Nu-Skin will do that job and not detract from the performance of the reel. It's a fairly thick stick-on. You apply it to the side of the reel and around the outside edge. It's removable...when you want it off, and it sticks well regardless of what a deckhand may do with a hose and power wash. On the image of my Penn 50W International on the right you can see the Nu-Skin on the sideplate as well as surrounding the top of the plate. That's the area protected by the "skin." Click on the link below for sizing information (use your right mouse button and open as a new window so you aren't pulled from this page). "Sizing Chart" Nu-Skin Reel Armor was designed to preserve and maintain the beauty of you aluminum bodied fishing reels. Fishing reels are subject to abuse while being transported. Often, rods and reels are stored in close proximity and bump and or rub together during this time. This damage is called “Boat Rash”. We have designed a clear, flexible, semi-permanent membrane to cover both the non-handle side plate and the top of the frame. These are the areas most susceptible to “Boat Rash”. The Reel Armor stays in place and does not impair the use of the reel during fishing. The Reel Armor is removable for service. It will also protect the reel when not in service. The product is so clear that you will not even see it when installed. Nu-Skin Reel Armor Applications: ▪ Inshore Aluminum Bodied Reels ▪ Offshore Aluminum Bodied Reels ▪ Two-Speed Aluminum Bodied Reels Nu-Skin Reel Armor Specifications: ▪ Clear, Flexible and Transparent Membrane ▪ Semi-permanent Adhesive ▪ Easily removed for service ▪ Designed to fit your specific reel ▪ Designed to work with Penn, Shimano, Accurate, Diawa, Avet, Okuma and Baker ▪ Currently fits over 180 reel models Due to increased economies of scale (increased production) Swifty has been able to reduce the cost of this product.
