Introducing the new Ardent F-700
technique specific reel
Denny Brauer Signature F-700 Flip-N-Pitch Reel: Made in
the USA and designed by Denny Brauer, the new F-700 Flip-N-Pitch low profile
technique specific reel is like no other. It's certainly a head turner and quite
unlike anything we've seen before.

Looks and feels like the F-500
introduced last year
The Ardent F-700 is a redesigned and improved
F-500 incorporating new features to increase performance and effectiveness for
the techniques of flipping and pitching. New is a flipping switch that'll make
letting line out easier when needed.
The F-700 is a Denny Brauer
Signature reel
To give it more muscle on a short and stressful short hookset the F-700 will have a new heavier stainless steel handle and two
additional ball bearings for an overall upgraded package
of 7 bearings total. In addition the reel will have a hefty 22 pounds of drag
force that's needed for those powerful, close encounter hooksets.
One new feature to the F-700 is a
flipping switch
The new Denny Brauer F-700 Flip-N-Pitch reel will
carry Ardent's 3-year warranty, which is two years above industry average. The reel will retail for $199.99 and will be
available right after ICAST, this month.

Conclusion: In 2008 Ardent introduced one of the most unique
reels on the market, plainly put the F-500 simply looked like no other reel out there. This
reel's front end has no levelwind but just a guide to feed the line through. It's designed specifically for the bass fishing technique of
flipping. The reel has an extremely narrow spool and thus no levelwind was
needed. Well, this year at ICAST Ardent has introduced the Denny Brauer
Signature F-700 Flip-N-Pitch reel which is specifically designed to Denny's specifications which
include adding a flipping switch onto the reel. This is as application specific
as it gets, and if your a flipping fanatic this reel is one you should be sure
to check out.
