Cresta Solith Spinning Reel 5500 WX — Smooth Power for Heavy Feeder Fishing

The Cresta Solith 5500 WX is a purpose-built feeder reel designed to handle demanding sessions targeting hard-fighting coarse fish. Robust construction and a refined drivetrain make it a reliable tool when bite count and control matter most.

Wormshaft Drive for a Quiet, Even Retrieve

The Wormshaft (WX) gear system distributes line evenly across the spool with every turn, eliminating bunching and ensuring consistent lay. Combined with a 6+1 bearing setup and a 5.5:1 gear ratio delivering 99 cm per crank, the reel handles both fast line pick-up after a cast and steady, controlled retrieves under load.

Precise Drag and a Semi-Flat Spool for Full Control

A finely adjustable drag lets you dial in exactly the right resistance when carp, bream, or other powerful species make their runs — without losing ground unnecessarily. The semi-flat spool profile minimises underfilling, so the line sits correctly and leaves the spool cleanly on every cast. An infinite anti-reverse system keeps the handle rock-solid during the fight. A line clip is included for accurate distance fishing.
