Ryobi Arctica HS Spinning Reel 4500 6.0:1 290g 10kg 4+1

Ryobi Arctica HS 4500 — High-Speed Spinning Reel for Predator Fishing

The Ryobi Arctica HS (High Speed) 4500 is a purpose-built predator reel that delivers a rapid 105 cm line retrieve per turn — giving you exceptional lure control even at a relaxed cranking pace.

High-Speed Gear Ratio for Versatile Lure Work

With a 6.0:1 gear ratio and 105 cm retrieve per crank, the Arctica HS lets you cover water quickly, snap up slack line instantly, and work fast-moving lures like spinnerbaits or jerkbaits without burning out your wrist. This speed advantage opens up a wide range of retrieval styles — from aggressive burn-and-pause to controlled slow rolls.

Aluminium Diamond Spool — No Backing Required

The flat aluminium diamond-cut spool is optimised for both monofilament and braided lines and fills evenly without the need for backing filler line. A titanium line roller reduces friction and wear, while the spring-loaded metal line clip keeps your braid or mono secure when not in use. A bail-trip protection guard helps prevent accidental bail closure during the cast.
