RYOBI Verum II Feeder 8500 — Long-Distance Power for Serious Feeder Anglers

The Verum II 8500 is a large, robust fixed-spool reel built specifically for heavy feeder fishing at maximum distance. Two included spools give you the flexibility to cover any situation straight out of the box.

Built to Handle Heavy Feeder Loads

The torsion-resistant ALU-LITE body keeps the reel running smoothly even under sustained pressure. Combined with a water- and dust-sealed carbon drag system delivering up to 14 kg of braking force, this reel is engineered for the demands of big-water feeder fishing without missing a beat.

Fast Retrieve and Precise Line Lay

A 5.0:1 gear ratio paired with large-diameter spools pulls in 95 cm of line per crank — essential when fishing at range. The NCRT carbon anti-twist rotor ensures braided line is laid with exceptional precision, reducing tangles and improving cast consistency.

Choose the Right Variant

The Verum II Feeder is available in a single configuration. This reel suits anglers targeting coarse and cyprinid species (carp, bream, tench) with heavy feeder rigs at long range.

• Verum II Feeder 8500 — large-frame heavy feeder reel; flat spool (0.30 mm / 150 m) for distance braid work, deep spool (0.40 mm / 250 m) for heavier mono setups; ideal for big rivers, lakes, and demanding feeder sessions
