Abu Garcia Carabus AG STX Spinning Reel 1000 5.2:1 200g 56cm

Abu Garcia Carabus AG STX 1000 — precision for ultra-light angling

The Carabus AG STX 1000 combines a super-shallow aluminium spool, slow 5.2:1 retrieve and featherlight 200 g body to deliver total control when fishing micro lures in tough conditions.

Ultra-shallow aluminium spool for fine lines

The ultra-shallow aluminium spool is engineered specifically for ultra-light angling, letting you load minimal amounts of thin braid or mono without compromising casting distance with light spoons and micro lures. An aluminium spare spool is included, so you can switch between line types instantly on the water.

Slow retrieve for precise lure control

The 5.2:1 gear ratio and 56 cm retrieve per turn give you the super-slow cranking speed essential for coaxing bites when fish are reluctant. This low ratio offers fine control over lure presentation, especially valuable in pressured or cold-water scenarios.

Choose the right variant

The Carabus AG STX range is purpose-built for ultra-light fishing. Pick your size to match your target species and setup:

• 1000 — ideal for small trout, perch and ultra-light area-game setups; pairs perfectly with Carabus AG rods; 200 g, 5.2:1 ratio, 56 cm retrieve

• 2000 — slightly larger capacity for bigger trout or light perch fishing in open water; same gear ratio and retrieve for consistent presentations
