""Brilliant performance and it's a great addition to my fishing escapades."" - Owner discussion
The Preston Invictus Reel is the value-led Preston option for anglers who want one range covering match, feeder and general coarse work. It is not as specialist as the Extremity SD, but the 520 model gives it a clear place in feeder fishing for regular sessions.
The range is built around three sizes. The 320 is for shorter casts up to 40m and light waggler work, the 420 is the all-rounder, and the 520 is aimed at longer 60m to 80m feeder casts. That size spread is the key buying check. The Invictus family can make sense for mixed coarse fishing, but the chosen size should match the rod, venue and intended feeder or waggler role rather than simply the largest or smallest option.
The feature set is practical rather than flashy. Preston lists an impact resistant graphite body, precision machined aluminium spool, micro adjustable front drag, smooth gearing, metal line clip and compact body.
For feeder anglers, the appeal is the 520 option and the metal clip for repeated casts. For mixed coarse anglers, the 320 and 420 sizes keep the range relevant to waggler work and commercial venues, so the reel is best judged by size rather than name alone across different coarse methods and peg layouts.
| Reel Size | Compact (1000-3000), Large / Distance (5500+), Medium (3500-5000) |
| Feature | What this means |
|---|---|
| Invictus 320, 420 and 520 sizes | The three sizes cover shorter waggler work, all-round coarse fishing and longer feeder casting. |
| 320 short-cast role | The 320 size is intended for shorter casts up to 40m, light waggler setups and snake-lake style fishing. |
| 420 all-round role | The 420 size is the middle option for commercial feeder work and natural-venue waggler fishing. |
| 520 distance feeder role | The 520 size is designed for 60m to 80m casts and feeder fishing on commercial or natural venues. |
| Impact resistant graphite body | The body keeps the reel compact and practical while giving it protection for regular coarse use. |
| Precision machined aluminium spool | The spool gives a clean, consistent base for line lay and repeated casting. |
| Micro adjustable front drag | Fine drag adjustment helps when balancing hooklengths, fish size and venue pressure. |
| Single handle design | The single handle keeps the reel straightforward and comfortable during mixed feeder and waggler sessions. |
| Optimised line capacity spools | The spool capacity is matched to coarse fishing roles rather than deep big-water carp work. |

It is best for match, feeder and general coarse fishing where the angler wants a sensible reel range with 320, 420 and 520 size options.
The 520 is the most feeder-focused option because it is listed for longer casts of 60m to 80m and feeder fishing on commercial or natural venues.
The 320 is for shorter casts up to 40m and light waggler setups. The 420 is the all-rounder for commercial feeder work and natural-venue waggler fishing.
Yes. The range is listed with a high-quality metal line clip, which helps with repeated casts to a chosen distance.
No. Invictus is the broader value-led match and feeder family, while Extremity SD is the more dedicated feeder reel with Speed Drag and Worm Drive.
