Cardinal 53 FD
incl. VAT, excl.
The Cardinal 53 FD delivers proven quality at an accessible price, making it the ideal choice for versatile freshwater spinning. With its smooth 3-bearing system and durable aluminium spool, this reel handles everything from perch and trout to pike with confidence.
The 3-bearing system (2 ball bearings + 1 roller bearing) ensures fluid retrieves and consistent drag response. The 5.2:1 gear ratio and 64 cm retrieve per turn strike the perfect balance between speed and power, giving you control whether you're working jigs or cranking lures.
The graphite body and rotor keep the Cardinal 53 light at just 257 g, reducing fatigue during long sessions. The machined aluminium spool adds strength without excess weight, while the slow oscillation system lays mono and braid evenly for tangle-free casting.

Cardinal 50 FD – 158 g, 100 m/0.18 mm, 4.1 kg drag – ultralight fishing, small streams, perch, trout
