Cardinal 54 FD
incl. VAT, excl.
The Cardinal 54 FD delivers reliable quality and smooth operation for anglers who want a versatile spinning reel without breaking the bank. Perfect for freshwater spinning across a wide range of techniques.
Three bearings (2 ball bearings plus 1 roller bearing) ensure fluid cranking under load. Whether you're working lures through current or fighting a strong fish, the Cardinal 54 FD stays smooth from first cast to final landing.
The graphite body and rotor keep weight down to 275 g, reducing fatigue during long sessions. The machined aluminium spool adds strength and durability where it counts, while the slow oscillation system lays line evenly—monofilament and braid alike.
The Cardinal 50 series offers five sizes to match your target species and line choice. All models feature ambidextrous handle position and aluminium spools.
