Abu Garcia Carabus AG SX 1000 — Ultralight Precision for Area Game

The Carabus AG SX 1000 pairs an ultra-shallow aluminium spool with a slow 5.2:1 gear ratio, giving you complete control when presenting light spoons to wary trout in demanding conditions.

Ultra-Shallow Spool for Fine Lines

The precision-machined aluminium spool is designed specifically for ultralight fishing. Its shallow profile lets you load minimal amounts of ultra-fine braid or monofilament without compromising casting distance or accuracy with 1–3 g spoons. The included aluminium spare spool allows quick switching between line types on the water.

Slow Retrieve for Tough Conditions

When fish are finicky, the 5.2:1 gear ratio delivers the super-slow retrieve speed that triggers strikes. At 56 cm per handle turn, you maintain precise lure control even in cold water or high-pressure sessions where subtle presentation makes the difference.

Choose the Right Variant

The Carabus AG SX series offers two sizes matched to different Area Game scenarios:

• 1000 — 246 g, 56 cm retrieve, mono 100 m/0.14 mm or braid 80 m/PE 0.6 — ideal for ultra-finesse fishing with 0.8–2.5 g spoons on short to medium casts, perfect for technical pond fishing and pressured trout

• 2000 — 314 g, 67 cm retrieve, mono 130 m/0.14 mm or braid 100 m/PE 0.6 — suited for slightly heavier lures and longer casting distances in larger stillwaters
