Abu Garcia Cardinal 50 Spinning Reels

The Abu Garcia Cardinal 50 series reels offer fantastic performance at an entry level price. It features two bearings with an additional instant anti-reverse bearing that stops fish in their tracks. A lightweight graphite frame won’t weigh you down and a Stealth Oscillation system allows for even line lay on the spool.

The 51 size is a miniature reel perfect for ultra light LRF work and very light dropshotting.

The 52 size is  larger but ideal for bigger lures such as those used for pike.

The 54 size is a much bigger, heavy duty spinning reel that would be perfect for fishing for pike, bass, salmon and sea trout.

Altogether, very nice reels perfect for LRF/Dropshot fishing and could be used for coarse fishing.
