Product Information
The Abu Garcia Cardinal X Reel gives predator anglers an entry-level spinning reel for lure fishing and suits both seasoned anglers and enthusiastic beginners.
It combines reliable, affordable operation with 3+1 bearings that make rotation light and smooth when retrieving lures, so you can control the lure as you want.
A strong graphite body and rotor protect the zinc-alloy inner parts, while the aluminium spool and folding aluminium handle keep the reel lightweight and hardwearing. The handle is finished with an anti-slip rubber paddle grip.
An anti-reverse on/off lever lets anglers who prefer to backwind do so when playing large fish. It comes in 2000 FD, 3000 FD and 4000 FD sizes.
