Abu Garcia's Fast Attack Pro is a complete predator combo range aimed at anglers starting out in lure fishing for perch, pike, or zander who want a matched outfit rather than buying components separately. Three spinning versions are available: a 2.10m 5-21g Perch model paired with a size-2000 reel, a 2.30m 20-50g Pike model with a size-3000, and a 2.10m 20-70g Heavy Pike version also on a size-3000.
Each rod is built on a 24T carbon blank with stainless steel anti-tangle LTS guides and an EVA handle, and each breaks into two sections for 110cm transport. The reels carry 7+1 ball bearings at a 5.2:1 gear ratio, with an aluminium spool and graphite body. Abu Garcia rate the drag at 4kg across all three sizes.
Each reel arrives pre-spooled with Abulon STX 8-carrier braided line. Fluorocarbon leaders and a selection of Abu Garcia and Berkley lures are included in every kit, so the outfit is ready to fish from the box without additional purchases.
Pricing across the four variants at the time of listing runs from £69.99 to £129.99. The Fast Attack Pro range is positioned above Abu Garcia's standard Fast Attack line, with a higher bearing count and 8-carrier rather than 4-carrier braid as the primary differences.
| Lengths | 7ft, 8ft |
| Feature | What this means |
|---|---|
| Blank: 24T Carbon | 24T carbon is a standard mid-range modulus. It keeps the rod lighter than a fibreglass blank of the same length. |
| Casting Weight: 5-21g (Perch) / 20-50g (Pike) / 20-70g (Heavy Pike) | Three variants each have a different lure weight rating matched to the intended species. Casting outside the rated range risks under-loading or over-stressing the blank. |
| Length: 2.10m (Perch and Heavy Pike) / 2.30m (Pike) | The 2.10m models are compact enough for tighter bank situations. The 2.30m Pike version gives extra reach for open water. |
| Guides: Stainless steel anti-tangle LTS | Large-format LTS guides are designed to let braid flow freely off the spool on the cast without the line tangling around a ring. |
| Handle: EVA | EVA is a closed-cell foam that stays grippy when wet and does not absorb water. |
| Sections: 2-piece | Transport: 110cm | Two sections pack the rod to 110cm, which fits inside a standard rod holdall. |
| Reel: 7+1 bearings, 5.2:1 gear ratio | Seven ball bearings give a smoother retrieve than the fewer bearings found in most entry-level combo reels. The 5.2:1 ratio is a mid-speed retrieve. |
| Reel spool: Aluminium | An aluminium spool is more rigid than graphite and holds its shape better under the tension of braided line. |
| Reel drag: 4kg | 4kg is the maximum drag pressure available before the clutch slips. This is the rated figure across all three spinning reel sizes in the range. |
| Reel sizes: 2000 (Perch) / 3000 (Pike and Heavy Pike) | The reel size is matched to the rod in each combo. A 2000 is a compact, lighter reel suited to lighter lines; a 3000 holds more line capacity. |
| Line: Pre-spooled Abulon STX 8-carrier braid | The reel arrives loaded with 8-carrier braided line. 8-carrier braid is rounder in cross-section than 4-carrier, which helps it flow through guides more smoothly. |
| Included: Fluorocarbon leaders and lures | Fluorocarbon leaders and a selection of Abu Garcia and Berkley lures are included in the box. |
