Ryobi Virtus Free Spool Baitrunner Reel 80cm 385g 10kg 5.0:1

Ryobi Virtus Free Spool — Reliable Baitrunner Reel Built for Carp Fishing

The Ryobi Virtus Free Spool 4000 is a capable baitrunner (free spool) reel designed for modern carp fishing and any style of angling that demands a reliable open-spool system. Smooth, precisely tunable, and built to last session after session.

Finely Adjustable Free Spool System

The free spool mechanism can be switched on or off to suit any bite situation, and its sensitivity is easily dialled in on the bank. When a fish takes and runs, the spool releases line without resistance — the moment you strike, full drag is instantly re-engaged. The spooled aluminium spool features a rubber skirt that locks braid firmly in place, preventing slippage under load.

Solid Construction, Smooth Retrieve

A water- and dust-resistant carbon drag system delivers consistent, reliable braking up to 10 kg, while 7+1 bearings keep the retrieve fluid at a 5.0:1 gear ratio — pulling in 80 cm of line per turn. The CNC-machined folding aluminium handle and elastane knob form a balanced, fatigue-reducing unit, complemented by a bail-trip protector and a sprung metal line clip for neat line management.
