Abu Garcia Cardinal X Spinning Reel 2000FD 260g 4kg 72cm 5.2:1

Abu Garcia Cardinal X 2000FD – Smooth Performance for Every Cast

The Cardinal X 2000FD combines reliability, smooth operation and affordability in a compact spinning reel. With 4 bearings and a strong graphite construction, it delivers dependable performance for light freshwater fishing without breaking the bank.

Light, Smooth Rotation for All-Day Comfort

The 4-bearing system (3+1) ensures the reel rotates effortlessly with every turn of the aluminium foldable handle. The anti-slip rubber paddle grip provides secure control even in wet conditions, while the 72 cm retrieve per turn and 5.2:1 gear ratio offer a balanced pace for working lures and playing fish. The graphite body and rotor keep the overall weight down to just 260 g, reducing fatigue during extended sessions.

Durable Components That Protect Your Investment

The aluminium spool is built to withstand regular use, and the robust graphite body shields the zinc alloy internals from knocks and moisture. A felt front drag delivers up to 4 kg of stopping power, while the Instant Anti-Reverse with on/off lever eliminates backplay when you need solid hooksets. Right or left handle positioning accommodates any angler's preference.
