Performance that supports a wide range of environments

The BL33 rounds out its control with a smooth drag and a high-speed, 3.6:1 gear ratio. A 6+1 ball bearing system lays a foundation for consistent feel, while adjustable pitch lets you tailor the reel’s casting responsiveness to the day’s conditions. The push-button casting system is designed to be approachable for newcomers yet capable for more experienced anglers.

• 6+1 bearings for smooth operation
• Adjustable pitch to suit conditions
• Easy push-button casting for quick starts

Line choices and versatile capacity

The reel accommodates multiple line types for different fishing scenarios. It ships with a 0.35 mm braided line at 50 lb test for reliable pulls, plus a 45-yard length, while the 0.12 mm/8 lb test line can reach up to 100 yards of capacity for long casts. This flexibility helps you adapt to varying water clarity and target distance.

• 5 lb line with 0.35 mm braided diameter, 45 yards

Compact, portable, and easy to adapt

At just 4.25 inches long and 8 ounces, the BL33 is easy to carry on short trips or packed in a boat compartment. The left/right reversible handle and corrosion-resistant materials make it practical for field use, whether mounted on a bow, crossbow, or slingshot with a dedicated reel mount.

Versatility without overstatement

Corrosion-resistant construction and flexible mounting options invite a variety of bowfishing setups. While results depend on technique, conditions, and target species, the BL33 is designed to support dependable operation across salt and freshwater environments.

In sum, the BALLISTA BL33 is a compact, durable, and adaptable reel that complements how you fish, not just what you fish with.
