Abu Garcia Cardinal X 4000FD — Reliable Performance for Versatile Freshwater Fishing

The Cardinal X 4000FD combines smooth operation, robust construction, and excellent value to deliver dependable performance on every cast. With 4 bearings and a strong graphite body, this spinning reel is ideal for anglers entering the Abu Garcia family or seeking a trustworthy backup reel.

Smooth and Light Operation

The 3+1 bearing system ensures effortless rotation and responsive retrieves. The 5.2:1 gear ratio with 87 cm retrieve per turn provides a balanced speed for working lures and handling fish. A front drag system with 5.5 kg maximum drag power gives you control over medium-sized species, while the instant anti-reverse lever prevents unwanted spool back-travel during hook sets.

Built to Last

The strong graphite body and rotor protect internal zinc alloy components from impacts and corrosion. An aluminum spool resists wear and maintains line capacity over time. The foldable aluminum handle features an anti-slip rubber knob for secure grip in wet conditions, making this reel a durable companion for regular freshwater use.
