Bigger Capacity. More Power. Same Legendary Feel.

The Bates Hundo’50 takes everything anglers love about the original Hundo and scales it up for bigger fish, heavier cover, and more demanding conditions. Featuring the same ergonomic design, exceptional casting performance, and precision control, the Hundo’50 delivers increased line capacity and stopping power without sacrificing comfort or smoothness.

Whether you're flipping heavy vegetation, working deep structure, or making long-distance casts, this reel offers the strength and reliability needed to handle hard-fighting fish with confidence.

Equipped with a powerful 18–20 lb drag system, premium bearing setup, and multiple gear ratio options, the Hundo’50 provides the versatility to match your fishing style while maintaining the lightweight feel serious anglers appreciate.
