Quick take
A 6.7-ounce baitcasting reel with a 5.6:1 gear ratio, carbon fiber frame, and magnetic braking for smooth operation.
The Cadence Vigor is a compact low-profile baitcasting reel with a carbon fiber body and a right-hand wind. This version runs a 5.6:1 gear ratio, a steadier pace suited to crankbaits and other lures worked at moderate speed. Adjustable magnetic braking helps tame backlashes for anglers still learning to thumb a spool, and the reel weighs around 6.7 ounces for easy all-day casting.
