Quick take
A lightweight low-profile baitcaster with a carbon frame and magnetic drag system for accurate casting on bass and saltwater.
This is the high-speed Revo5 X low profile baitcaster, with a 7.3:1 gear ratio that picks up about 30 inches of line per crank. It has a right-hand handle, a MagTrax brake, a Carbon Matrix drag topping out at 20 pounds and eight bearings. The C6 carbon frame and asymmetrical body keep it light at around 7 ounces, suited to anglers who want fast retrieves with moving baits and finesse-to-medium line.
