Abu Garcia Carabus AG STX Spinning Reel 2000 5.2:1 200g 56cm

Abu Garcia Carabus AG STX 2000 — ultra-light precision for demanding area-game fishing

The Abu Garcia Carabus AG STX 2000 is a lightweight spinning reel engineered for anglers who demand precision and control when working ultra-light lures. Its super-shallow aluminium spool and slow 5.2:1 gear ratio deliver the delicate presentation and crawling retrieves that trigger bites in tough conditions.

Ultra-shallow aluminium spool for fine lines and long casts

The STX 2000 features a super-shallow aluminium spool designed to accommodate ultra-fine braids and monofilaments without excess bulk. This shallow profile optimises line lay and minimises friction, helping you achieve longer, more accurate casts with light spoons and micro lures. An aluminium spare spool is included, letting you switch between braid and mono streamside to adapt to changing conditions.

Slow 5.2:1 ratio for precise, crawling retrieves

When trout and other species turn finicky, a slow retrieve often makes the difference. The 5.2:1 gear ratio (56 cm per crank) gives you the control to creep lures along at the ultra-slow speeds that provoke strikes in pressured water. Four stainless-steel ball bearings plus one roller bearing ensure smooth, fluid winding under load, while the ergonomic EVA handle knob provides comfortable grip during extended sessions.
