Choose the 400 LP-L for 68 cm of line per turn at 4.8:1 and a weight of 471 g. The 400 LP-HS-L retrieves 86 cm at 6.2:1 and weighs 482 g, so it picks up line faster at the same winding pace but adds 11 g.
They are freshwater low-profile baitcasters designed to cast large lures at large predators. Both have a left-hand handle, so choose them for a casting setup operated with the left hand on the reel handle rather than a fixed-spool setup.
No. The Infini Brake System combines magnetic and centrifugal braking for spool control during casting. The Carbon Matrix star drag controls line release during the fight, so casting control and fish-fighting drag serve different tasks.
Both hold mono at 190 m/0.38 mm, 160 m/0.42 mm or 125 m/0.47 mm, and braid at 260 m/0.36 mm, 215 m/0.38 mm or 185 m/0.41 mm. Neither comes with line or a spare spool, so choose your line by diameter and spool it before use.

The Abu Garcia Beast is a left-hand low-profile baitcasting reel for casting large lures at large freshwater predators. Its oversized brass Duragear Gen III gearing supplies cranking power, while the Next Gen Power Stack Carbon Matrix star drag controls line release during the fight.
Both versions have a 400LP spool size and a left-hand handle. The 400 LP-L has a 4.8:1 gear ratio, retrieves 68 cm per handle turn and weighs 471 g. Choose it for a slower retrieve at the same winding pace. The 400 LP-HS-L has a 6.2:1 ratio, retrieves 86 cm per turn and weighs 482 g. It brings line in faster at the same winding pace, at an extra 11 g. Its maximum drag is 14 kg.
The Infini Brake System combines magnetic and centrifugal casting brakes to control spool rotation during the cast. This is separate from the Carbon Matrix fighting drag. A Drag Clicker provides audible feedback, and the reel also has a Drag Release System (DRS) and instant anti-reverse.
An asymmetrical body, X2-Cräftic™ aluminum frame and handle-side plate support the gearing under load. Seven stainless steel HPCR™ bearings and one roller bearing support rotation. The 105 mm double-bowed aluminum handle has oversized power knobs for grip when winding large lures. The aluminum spool and GullWing™ sideplate complete the construction.
Both versions hold the same amount of line. Mono capacity is 190 m of 0.38 mm, 160 m of 0.42 mm or 125 m of 0.47 mm. Braid capacity is 260 m of 0.36 mm, 215 m of 0.38 mm or 185 m of 0.41 mm. Use these diameter-specific figures when choosing line rather than comparing length alone. The reels are supplied without line and without a spare spool, so line must be added before fishing. They are specified for freshwater use.
