Balzer Tactics Cat Neo Spinning Reel 4700 4.1:1 685g 16kg Aluminium

Balzer Tactics Cat Neo 4700 — Reliable Power for Catfish Spinning

The Balzer Tactics Cat Neo 4700 is a capable spinning reel built for catfish (Wels catfish) anglers who want solid performance without breaking the bank. Whether you're just getting started with big-fish spinning or looking for a dependable backup reel, it delivers where it counts.

Built Tough for Heavyweight Species

At the heart of this reel is an extra-strong stainless steel main shaft — significantly more robust than standard steel — paired with a CNC-machined aluminium power handle. The Strong Bail Concept uses an oversized, lightweight aluminium bail arm that stands up to the strain of fighting large catfish, while the 3 precision ball bearings plus 1 needle bearing keep everything smooth under load.

Smart Drag and Line Management

The front drag system (S.D.S.) features extra-large brake discs and fine adjustment for precise control during a run. The S-stroke line lay system optimises line distribution on the aluminium spool for cleaner casts and better line release. An anti-twist line roller reduces line memory and twist — a genuine advantage when fishing heavy mono or braid for catfish. The Quick-Stop System (Q.S.S.) delivers instant rotor braking the moment you grab the handle, and the Anti-Swing System (A.S.S.) ensures smooth, vibration-free rotation throughout the retrieve.
