Newell Show Specials

We made a great buy on some terrific Newell reels for the Fred Hall Show. For guys going after tuna, jigging, bottom fishing, these two reels are well worth adding to your collection. Like all Newells, their light weight makes them delightful to fish. They spin, and are great casters, legendary performers in that regard. We scored on the S440 a narrow bodied 4/0 size reel that's at home fishing 30-40# line. We have these available in both 5:1 and 3.6:1 gearing. It's one of the more popular Baja reels ever made. Going up a couple notches, we made a great by on the R631 in both 3:1 and 4.2:1 gear ratios. This narrow 6/0 reel is capable of 35#'s of drag. While it's almost sacrilegious to consider a Newell a trolling reel, these can be used in that manner. But, in my estimation they really shine vertically jigging, chunking and flylining a bait for tuna. The regular MSRP on the S440 is $189, the R631 $250. Here's a great opportunity to score a very nice reel, for an incredible price. Yes, shipping is included.

Stock is strictly limited to what's on hand.

Newell P Series
A Classic Returns,
then soon disappears...

Newell has bowed to popular demand, caved in for a single run of their classic reels, the P Series.  Newell stopped making the P's years back, you've probably seen 'em used on eBay for something like $300-400.  Newell decided to make one production run, one run and they're all gone.  It's going to be another classic, something that everyone wants...but, they'll be all gone.  The new P Series reels will be available in the 200, 300 and 400 Series products.   Once they're gone,  they just won't be available.  So, jump now or forever hold your piece. (click on the image to see another view of the reels)

So, what's different about the P Series?  They use an an aluminum spool, metal bearing caps, and aluminum spacer bars for the frame assembly. There are a few other retro features to make it stand out, like the aluminum handle.  It's retro, it's functional, and it's going to be another classic, as well as a great performing reel to own.  It's going to be a favorite of yours, too. 

New News: Newell has just shipped us their long awaited P533F reels.  We've been hoping to see the 500 series in the P version.  This really enhances the 533 for one of it's prime applications, tossing jigs to wahoo!  The inventory is limited, they will not last very long.  Given our HUGE buying power, we still have a limited stock of the P200, 300 and 400 series reels.  These have been very popular.  If you have been on the fence, get off it. Otherwise, you'll be kicking yourself when they are all gone...and commanding $350 on EBay.

New from Newell
Purple?
Yep, when the Beth asks for something, she usually gets it...

Folks following this website know my feelings about Newell reels. They help me get bit! They also help me get my bait or jigs to where the fish are. Newell reels have earned their reputation as great casting reels, with light spools to aid a baitfish swim and get noticed by predatory gamefish. For years Newell reels were available in every color you wanted, so long as you wanted black. Well, in 2005 they came out with an upgraded red series of reels, and for 2006 Carl Newell is introducing the line in purple! Yep, just like the Beth requested, they did it. Now she can fish in her typically color coordinated best...and get bit better than me.

The purple reels have some upgrades from the "S" series reels. The light weight graphite spool remains, but you've got an upgraded handle, more stainless steel on the shifter and clicker buttons, and a few other niceties. The reels will become collectors items as years go by, and in the mean time they'll be great fishing companions.

Newell Special Production

Newell's in the RED!

Here's a new wrinkle on some of our favorite fishing reels.  Newell is making a special run of many of their most popular reels in RED.  They feature some upgraded components, handle, buttons, knobs, star, but beyond that, they're are same old trusted and reliable Newells. They are kind of a cross between a "P" and "S" series, with a graphite spool and the other upgraded components of a "P" series. This is a limited run, there won't be huge volumes produced.  We are hoping to see them in most sizes, though not all gear ratios.

Folks have been trying to get Carl Newell to produce a reel of a different color for a couple decades it seems.  Not to say black isn't beautiful, it's just that many anglers would like to have something different.  Well, you've got your wish!

Newell Fishing Reels

Newell Fishing Reels
Model 001.jpg (179205 bytes)A New Generation of Reels designed by fishermen, for fishermen. Carl W. Newell started in the tackle business about twenty years ago, by improving what was already on the market. Supplying discriminating anglers the means to improve the performance of their old Penns helped establish the Newell name. There quickly became a time when Carl, an avid fisherman in his own right, came to the conclusion that rather than tinker around with existing technology and hardware, he could design a product far superior and fill an unmet demand by fishermen for faster, lighter, stronger, and simpler fishing reels. Carl combined some great engineering, with graphite, stainless steel and the latest high technology to produce some of the finest reels available at any price. They also boast the most corrosion resistance of any product on the market.


Newells The Newells are targeted to specific fishing applications. Kind of like medicine, you've got both generalists and specialists, those who refine their skills for a particular task. To my way of thinking, the Newells are the specialists of the fishing reel world. There are 38 different products in the line. Each one is unsurpassed in it's targeted nitch, and will outperform other products in specific applications. Personally, I own several Newells, and love the product for 20-50 lb. line test applications, both bait and jig fishing. Carl would call me a wimp, but if I'm fishing 60 or higher test line, I'm more confident of using a two speed. But, there's no doubt, the Newells would get the bait out farther on a cast, and allow the bait to swim more naturally than other reels, and that's often the difference in getting bit.  That's why I always have a Newell or three with me if I'm riding on a charter, or in a more competitive fishing situation.  They cast better, and allow a bait to swim better.  They help me get bit better.  I think you'll agree once you put some time in fishing 'em, they'll help you get bit better too!

If I'm doing some serious fishing the Newells go with me. If I'm acting as tour guide for a bunch of first timers I'll bring other gear. The Newells are the "good stuff" in my tackle closet. I'll let a friend borrow/use my Shimanos, or Accuratized Penns, but the Newells are my reserve stock, my secret weapon. If you're into long casts, the NEWELL REELS DEFINE DISTANCE CASTING! There's nothing better on the market for jigging and live bait use. All reels are built in the USA (Glendale, CA) and carry a five year warranty. Pictured, the Beth (former office manager@CharkBait) and Carl Newell at his workshop.

Something Forgotten?

Years ago Carl Newell came out with a funny little plastic contraption for organizing leader or sabiki bait catching rigs.  We hadn't seen 'em for years.  But, then one day we asked a stupid question.  We got a smart answer.

CharkBait is proud to present Carl Newell's Tanglefree Pocket Leader Pack! They never went away, they were just tucked away back at Carl Newell Manufacturing's plant. Here's why you want 'em: if you make your own bait, use sabiki rigs, you end the process with a choice.  How do you dispose of the hook rig safely, or better yet, how do you put it away safely and conveniently for future use.  The Tanglefree is a device for wrapping up your rigs.  The thing works great and will probably pay for itself in non-discarded bait rigs within a week's time. Simple, effective, kind of like Carl's reels in my estimation. Functional brilliance, Carl Newell is right up there with Edison in terms impacting mankind* with an innovation or invention...* This is just one more example of the simple creativity and functional brilliance possessed by Carl Newell. Buy one for your tackle box, buy one for your desk.  You can take it out every once in a while when you're stressed from the complexities of life.  You'll relieve anxieties and uncertainties when you stare at your Tanglefree, study it's detailed instructions, and revel in its simplicity.  You'll find yourself exclaiming, "f'n brilliant little bugger."

Tiburon T-Bar Light

We finally got 'em to do it!

Usually the #2 Special is a reel, but this week it's just a little handle. Strange? Nope. It's an very important little handle for many of us.

Let's go back a few years. You know, I like fishing my Newells a lot. Sure I now own some fancier gear, but there are times having a 229, 332, 533 or 540 in your hands pays off. You love 'em or hate 'em, and certainly there are better reels out there these days. But, Newells fish. There are times when they are the right reel to fish, they'll do you better than any other reel for a particular set of conditions. Having said that, in my mind the only thing I'd be inclined to change on my moderate to larger size Newells were my handles. Even on the P series, the crank can be made better. So, I bugged the guys at Tiburon. I bugged 'em for a few years: "Make me a handle for my Newells!" "Make that 100, I know other guys want 'em too." I even shipped them a couple of my own reels almost a year ago so they could size things up properly. Well, they finally made handles for our Newell reels (as you can tell from my 540 pictured-left). They made us a great handle, light, much stronger, offset grip for comfort and greater cranking power. SUPER!.

A T-Bar Lite handle for your Newell 400-500 Series reel is a must-have purchase for most Newell owners. You will get greater cranking power. So, it might also be a good time to look your reel over for other upgrade while you're beefing up the handle. The handles accommodate 200-500 series reels, have two mounting positions.
