Abu Garcia

Every part of the reel has a designation

What this house covers here

A low-profile baitcasting reel, a 1000-size spinning reel and a short spinning rod.

Where their listings get specific

The baitcaster is the most completely named reel on this site: an X-Craftic aluminium frame, a MagTrax magnetic brake, a Carbon Matrix drag, 7,1:1 and 9+1 stainless bearings. On a baitcaster the brake is what stops an overrun with a heavy lure, and this is the one whose brake has a name you can research rather than an adjective.

The spinning reel publishes everything: 240 g, 4 kg drag, 5,2:1, four bearings, 120 m of 0,20 mm, 72 cm per turn, aluminium spool. A 1000 with that specification is the reel a 2–7 g rod balances against.

The rod names its rings — LTS SIC — and its carbon grade, at 1,83 m, 3–14 g.

One thing to check before ordering

The baitcaster is left hand, and a baitcaster cannot be converted the way a spinning reel can. The handle side is a decision, not a preference, and it is made at checkout.
