• 3+1 ball-bearing system for smooth operation
• Carbon Matrix™ drag system
• Six-pin centrifugal brake system
• Synchronized levelwind system improves castability and line lay
Time-tested and field-proven, the Abu Garcia® C3 Round Baitcasting Reel has classic design and modern technology. Three stainless steel ball bearings and one roller bearing provide smooth operation during casting and retrieving. The ultrasmooth Carbon Matrix™ drag system resists heating up when your fish takes you for a run. The compact bent handle and star drag adjustment give you the fighting advantage. Six-pin centrifugal brake has a consistent pressure throughout the cast to let anyone cast it effortlessly. The synchronized levelwind system improves castability and line lay while eliminating extreme angles in the line when a fish pulls line out, reducing the stress and chances of snapping. Swedish engineering lasts for generations of anglers to enjoy.
