Abu Garcia Spike Pro Spinning Reel 4000SH 239g 7.7kg 98cm 6.2:1

Abu Garcia Spike Pro 4000SH — engineered for big-river zander

The Spike Pro 4000SH is a purpose-built spinning reel for anglers targeting zander and perch in demanding freshwater environments. With its shallow spool design, 98 cm retrieve, and 6.2:1 gear ratio, it delivers the speed and line control needed for vertical jigging and fast-paced lure presentations.

Powerful yet lightweight for all-day fishing

At just 239 g, the Spike Pro 4000SH combines a one-piece Durametal aluminium body with a C6 carbon rotor for exceptional rigidity without the weight penalty. The 7.7 kg Carbon Matrix drag system provides smooth, reliable pressure when fighting strong fish, while 8 bearings (7 stainless steel HPCR + 1 roller bearing) ensure effortless cranking even during long sessions.

Optimised for braided line performance

The shallow aluminium spool is designed specifically for thin braided lines, holding 220 m of 0.29 mm braid. This setup maximises sensitivity and hook-setting power—critical advantages when jigging deep structures or reading subtle bites. The AMGearing system with computer-optimised gears delivers consistent power transfer, while the carbon handle arm reduces fatigue during repetitive casts and retrieves.

• 2000SH (1199 g, 6.2:1, 83 cm retrieve, 3 kg drag) — faster retrieve for active perch fishing

• 2500S (215 g, 5.2:1, 73 cm retrieve, 5.2 kg drag) — all-round perch and light zander setups

• 2500SH (214 g, 6.2:1, 87 cm retrieve, 5.2 kg drag) — versatile medium-weight spinning and jigging

• 3000MSH (232 g, 6.2:1, 96 cm retrieve, 5.2 kg drag) — medium zander jigging with balanced line capacity

• 3000SH (225 g, 6.2:1, 96 cm retrieve, 5.2 kg drag) — heavier zander applications with increased spool capacity

• 4000SH (239 g, 6.2:1, 98 cm retrieve, 7.7 kg drag) — big-river zander jigging with maximum drag and line capacity
