Nytro Impax Long Cast 5500 Reel
5 Things To Know
- The 5500 spool holds 230m of 0.35mm line, giving the depth and line strength for medium to longer feeder casts.
- The retrieve is 94cm per handle turn, picking up a useful amount of line with each wind.
- The 4.7:1 gear ratio is geared for steady power rather than very fast retrieval.
- A multi-disc front drag rated at 18-20kg provides strong stopping power for heavier feeder work.
- Cross-winding wormshaft oscillation and a line-guard system keep the line lay tidy through repeated casting and retrieval.
Product Information
The Nytro Impax Long Cast 5500 is the distance-focused Impax feeder reel, separate from the regular Impax MK2 range. It is built around a single 5500 reel size, with a matching aluminium spare spool sold as a separate item.
The main reel uses a 4.7:1 gear ratio, 94cm retrieve and 230m of 0.35mm line capacity on the standard spool. That gives it the line pick-up and spool depth needed for medium to longer feeder casts on lakes, reservoirs and stronger venues where casting accuracy still matters.
Nytro pairs the long-cast spool with cross-winding wormshaft oscillation and a line-guard system. Those details are important for keeping line lay tidy when repeated casts are made to the same clip or when heavier feeders are retrieved.
The quick-drag front system, oversized drag knob and multi-disc drag are aimed at fast pressure changes when a better fish is hooked. Two metal line clips, an oversized bail wire and a teardrop anti-twist roller support accurate distance work.
This is the stronger Impax option for anglers who want dedicated feeder casting range and firmer retrieve control without moving into premium reel prices.
