Choose the 400 LP-L for 68 cm of line pickup per turn at 4.8:1, 11.3 kg maximum drag and 471 g weight. The 400 LP-HS-L retrieves 86 cm at 6.2:1 and offers 14 kg maximum drag at 482 g. It retrieves faster at the same handle speed, but weighs 11 g more. Line capacities are identical.
They are freshwater low-profile baitcasting reels built to cast large lures at large predators. Both are listed for pike and zander, and the HS version is also listed for catfish. Their gearing and Carbon Matrix drag suit this large-lure use, rather than a small-lure finesse setup.
Both versions have a left-hand handle. You retrieve with your left hand, so choose one of these models if that matches your preferred handling. Neither listed variant is a right-hand model.
No. Both reels have an aluminum spool, are supplied without line and have no spare spool. Choose your line separately using the stated capacities, for example 190 m of 0.38 mm monofilament or 260 m of 0.36 mm braid on either version.
No. The Infini Brake System combines magnetic and centrifugal braking for cast control. The separate Next Gen Power Stack Carbon Matrix star drag controls line release while fighting fish, with a maximum of 11.3 kg on the LP-L or 14 kg on the LP-HS-L. Adjust casting control and fish-fighting drag separately.

The Beast 400 low-profile baitcasting reels are built for casting large lures at large freshwater predators. Their oversized brass Duragear Gen III gearing provides cranking power, while the Next Gen Power Stack Carbon Matrix drag controls line release under load. Both versions have a left-hand handle and are listed for pike and zander fishing.
The 400 LP-L (BST400LP-L) has a 4.8:1 gear ratio, retrieves 68 cm per handle turn and weighs 471 g. Its maximum drag is 11.3 kg. Choose it for a slower retrieve at the same cranking pace.
The 400 LP-HS-L (BST400LP-HS-L) has a 6.2:1 gear ratio, retrieves 86 cm per turn and weighs 482 g. Its maximum drag is 14 kg. It takes up 18 cm more line per turn and offers a higher drag limit, with an 11 g weight increase. Choose it when faster line pickup matters. The supplier also lists this version for casting large lures at catfish. Both versions have the same stated line capacities.
The Infini Brake System combines magnetic and centrifugal spool braking to help control the cast. It is separate from the star-adjusted Carbon Matrix drag used while fighting fish. Both reels include a Drag Release System (DRS) and a Drag Clicker for audible feedback when line is pulled against the drag. Instant Anti-Reverse prevents backward handle rotation.
An X2-Cräftic™ aluminum frame and handle side plate support the gearing under load. The A-Symmetric body provides an ergonomic hand position. Seven stainless steel HPCR™ bearings and one roller bearing support smooth operation. A 105 mm double bowed aluminum handle with oversized power knobs provides a substantial grip for retrieving large lures. Both versions have an aluminum spool and a GullWing™ sideplate.
Both reels are supplied without line and without a spare spool, so select your main line before fishing. The stated metric capacities are:
Monofilament: 190 m of 0.38 mm, 160 m of 0.42 mm or 125 m of 0.47 mm.
Braid: 260 m of 0.36 mm, 215 m of 0.38 mm or 185 m of 0.41 mm.
These figures let you compare line diameter with available length. Both reels are specified for freshwater use.
