Carbon Fiber 4kg Drag Baitcasting Reel 5+1BB 8.1:1

Carbon Fiber Baitcasting Reel for Fast, Accurate Control

This carbon fiber baitcasting reel is designed for anglers who want smooth casting, quick line pickup, and reliable control in a compact, lightweight body. With a 4kg drag system, 5+1 stainless steel bearings, 3D dynamic suspension, and a magnetic braking system, it offers precise handling for finesse lures and light to medium freshwater applications.

The reel body, reel leg, and knob are built from carbon fiber to keep overall weight low while maintaining structural rigidity. The Giu 99 model weighs approximately 99g, and the Giu Year of Dragon Limited Edition weighs approximately 104g, both engineered for all-day use without excessive hand fatigue. An 8.1:1 high-speed gear ratio allows rapid line retrieval, helping you quickly take up slack and control fish near cover. The AT7 lightweight aluminum main gear and beryllium copper pinion are designed to deliver efficient power transfer with reduced rotational resistance.

The spool is made from high-density aluminum, optimized for casting light lures. The Giu 99 version features a 3.2g spool, and the Year of Dragon Limited Edition a 3.5g spool, supporting accurate casting of small baits. Line capacity is rated at approximately 0.12mm-190m, 0.14mm-140m, and 0.16mm-110m, giving ample room for fine-diameter lines used in BFS and light-game setups. A low center-of-gravity 36mm profile improves palm fit and balance, keeping the reel stable during casting and retrieves.

The 5+1 ball bearing system uses stainless steel bearings with anti-saltwater technology to help resist corrosion in harsh environments. The 3D dynamic suspension magnetic brake system works together with the wide-angle tapered line guide to maintain smooth line flow, reduce friction, and help prevent line overruns. A micro-adjustment tension knob and line outgoing switch allow you to fine-tune spool control to match lure weight and casting style. The DS fish catch alarm system provides an audible alert when line is pulled, adding another layer of feedback when a fish strikes.

Why It's a Smart Choice

• Lightweight carbon fiber construction supports comfortable use over long sessions while maintaining rigidity and control.
• High-speed 8.1:1 ratio and 4kg drag give quick hook sets and confident pressure on active fish in light to medium setups.
• 3D dynamic suspension, magnetic braking, and tapered line guide work together for smoother casting, fewer backlashes, and better lure presentation.

FAQ

Q: What type of fishing is this reel best suited for?
A: It is well suited for bait finesse and light to medium baitcasting in freshwater, such as bass, trout, and similar species where lighter lines and smaller lures are commonly used.

Q: Can it be used in saltwater?
A: The reel includes anti-saltwater stainless steel bearings, but it is primarily designed for light applications. If used in saltwater, thorough rinsing with fresh water and proper drying and lubrication after each trip are recommended.

Q: What line sizes work best?
A: It is optimized for fine-diameter lines around 0.12mm to 0.16mm, matching the listed capacities of 190m, 140m, and 110m respectively. These diameters are typical for finesse and light baitcasting techniques.

Q: Is this reel available in both left-hand and right-hand versions?
A: Yes. The reel is available in right-hand and left-hand configurations, allowing you to choose the handle orientation that matches your preferred casting and retrieving style.

Q: How does the magnetic braking system help my casting?
A: The magnetic brake applies adjustable resistance to the spool during the cast. When properly set, it helps control spool speed, reduces the risk of backlash, and supports more consistent casting distance and accuracy with a range of lure weights.
