Ryobi Slam UL Feeder Spinning Reel 8500 5.0 495g 14kg 5+1

RYOBI Slam UL Feeder 8500 — Long-Distance Feeder Reel Built for Distance and Durability

The RYOBI Slam UL Feeder 8500 is a size 8500 feeder reel engineered for anglers who demand maximum casting range, robust construction, and smooth line lay — whether fishing coarse at range or targeting carp and surf species.

Ultra-Light NCRT Carbon Construction for Torsional Rigidity

Both the body and the Anti-Twist Rotor (ATR) are built from NCRT carbon composite, delivering exceptional stiffness without unnecessary weight at just 495 g. The titanium spool axis adds further torsional resistance, so the reel handles side-strain from heavy feeders and strong fish without flexing. The result is a platform that stays precise under load, cast after cast.

Precision Line Lay and High Line Recovery for Range Fishing

The wormshaft oscillation gearbox deposits line in tight, even layers on either of the two included CNC-milled aluminium diamond-pattern spools — one shallow (0.30 mm / 160 m) and one deep (0.35 mm / 250 m). Both spools handle braid and mono equally well. A 5.0:1 gear ratio pulls in 115 cm per crank, keeping contact with heavy feeders and maintaining pressure on hard-running fish. The 14 kg drag brake is water- and dust-sealed carbon, and the infinite anti-reverse gives an immediate, rock-solid lock-up.

Choose the Right Variant

This reel is currently offered as a single configuration. The RYOBI Slam UL Feeder 8500 comes complete with two CNC aluminium diamond spools (1 shallow + 1 deep), making it ready for both feeder and surf/carp sessions straight from the box.
