Quick take
A 7.0:1 baitcaster with aluminum spool and magnetic brake, designed for smooth casting and versatile fishing.
This low-profile baitcasting reel pairs a 7.0:1 gear ratio with a CNC-machined aluminum spool and a magnetic brake for cast control. It runs on 9+1 stainless steel ball bearings with an anti-reverse system, and the drag tops out at 12.12 pounds. At 207 grams in a right-hand Carbon Red build, it suits anglers moving into casting gear for bass and other freshwater work using braided or monofilament line.
