The Abu Garcia Beast Spinning Reel delivers brute strength and refined control for targeting big fish like musky, stripers, and inshore species in challenging environments. Its one-piece X2-CrA"ftic alloy frame resists torque under heavy drag pressure, while the oversized aluminum Duragear Gen III system (brass in the 5000H) delivers smooth, powerful retrieves. The reel's A-Symmetric body design helps reduce weight while maintaining balance, and a combination of 4 stainless HPCR bearings, 3 Salt Shield bearings, and a roller bearing ensures long-lasting smoothness in both fresh and saltwater. The Power Stack Carbon Matrix Drag System applies extreme drag pressure without sacrificing smooth startup, making it ideal for hard runs and surging fish. Precision meets control with the Abu Garcia Beast's V-Rotor and V-Spool design, which work with the Rocket Line Management and Rocket Spool Lip Design to handle braid, mono, or fluorocarbon with minimal line twist or backlash. An aluminum handle with oversized soft-touch knobs provides extra grip during extended fights or wet conditions. From heavy jigs for lake trout to live bait rigs for redfish, this reel thrives under pressure in diverse applications.
