Abu Garcia Beast 3500 — Built for Big Baits and Big Fish

The Abu Garcia Beast 3500 delivers uncompromising power and precision when targeting large predators with substantial lures. Engineered with a unique gear and drag system, this spinning reel maximizes both cranking and stopping power for anglers who demand peak performance in critical moments.

Engineered for Maximum Stopping Power

The Power Stack Carbon Matrix Drag System paired with an oversized aluminum Duragear Gen III gear system provides exceptional drag performance up to 6.4 kg. The X2-Cräftic alloy one-piece frame ensures strength and durability under heavy loads, while 8 bearings (4 stainless steel HPCR bearings, 3 Salt Shield bearings, and 1 roller bearing) guarantee smooth operation even in demanding conditions. The stainless steel main shaft and components resist corrosion and maintain reliability season after season.

Precision Line Management for Large Lures

The Rocket Line Management system combined with the Rocket Spool Lip Design keeps your line performing flawlessly, cast after cast. With a 5.2:1 gear ratio and 69 cm retrieve per turn, the Beast 3500 balances power with efficient line pickup. The aluminum spool holds 220 m of 0.25 mm mono or 170 m of 0.20 mm braid, providing ample capacity for varied applications. The aluminum handle with oversized co-molded soft-touch knobs delivers comfortable grip during extended fights.
