Abu Garcia Beast 400 Baitcasting Reel LP 6.2:1 Left

Abu Garcia Beast 400 LP — Left-Hand Baitcaster Built for Big Predators

The Abu Garcia Beast 400 LP (Low Profile) in the high-speed 6.2:1 left-hand retrieve configuration is engineered without compromise for freshwater predator fishing — whether you're working heavy swimbaits for pike or throwing large lures at wels catfish.

Infini Brake System: Precision Control on Every Cast

The Infini Brake System combines magnetic and centrifugal braking in a single hybrid setup, letting you fine-tune cast control for different lure weights and wind conditions. This dual-stage braking reduces backlashes and gives you the confidence to push heavier presentations further without sacrificing accuracy.

Power-Built Frame and Drive Train for Hard-Fighting Fish

The X2-Cräftic™ aluminium frame and handle-side plate provide a rigid, twist-resistant platform that keeps gears aligned under heavy load. The Duragear Gen III oversized brass gear system transfers power efficiently, while the Carbon Matrix star drag — rated to 14 kg (31 lb) — gives you progressive, smooth stopping force when a big fish runs. Seven HPCR™ stainless steel bearings plus one roller bearing keep the retrieve smooth and corrosion-resistant session after session. The 105 mm double-bowed aluminium handle with oversized power knobs reduces fatigue during long, active sessions. Line pick-up is 86 cm per turn, recovering lure position quickly between retrieves.

Choose the Right Variant

The Beast 400 LP is available in two gear ratios and two retrieve-hand configurations, so you can match the reel to your technique and target species:

• Abu Garcia Beast 400 LP 6.2:1 Left (current product) — High-speed retrieve (86 cm/turn), left-hand wind. Best suited to active, reaction-based techniques: fast cranking, ripping jigs, and covering water quickly for pike, perch, and zander. Max drag 14 kg.

• BST400LP-L — Beast 400 LP 4.8:1 Left — Power ratio (68 cm/turn), left-hand wind. Suited to deep, slow presentations and hard-pulling targets where torque matters more than speed — ideal for large swimbaits, heavy spinnerbaits, or wels catfish. Max drag 11.3 kg.
