Quick take
Abu Garcia baitcaster co-designed with pro Mike Iaconelli for tournament bass fishing.
A low profile baitcasting reel built around a lightweight graphite frame and an Infini brake system for dialing in casts. It runs a 6.6:1 gear ratio that picks up 27 inches of line per turn, with a carbon matrix drag topping out at 15 pounds. Nine stainless steel bearings and a right-hand retrieve make it a fit for bass anglers working a range of freshwater techniques.
