Advanta FD 5500 Mini Big Pit Reel

The Advanta FD 5500 Mini Big Pit Reel has been specifically designed to match with shorter rods that in the past few seasons have become increasing popular. The smaller body size allows a significant weight reduction compared to larger size traditional big pit reels making the experience of casting and playing a fish with a shorter rod much more enjoyable by offering a well-balanced feel to the entire setup. The Advanta FD 5500 mini big pit reel features a large diameter metal spool to enable long casts and to carry a good amount of line on the spool making it ideal for a wide range of fishing situations from large open pits to intimate canals and rivers too. The Spool used on the Advanta FD 5500 also features line friendly line clips making accurate casting to spots easy work without damaging the line when used continuously throughout each session. The Advanta FD 5500 mini big pit is fitted with a quick drag system making the job of tightening or loosening the drag to the desired level quick and easy and features a wide drag range to ensure fish can be played with a degree of finesse if using lighter lines or smaller hooks to reduce the chance of lost fish or snapped lines. The folding handle that’s used on the Advanta FD 5500 mini big pit Carp Fishing reel uses a clever self-locating pin that means the handle can be folded away very quickly and reset without the need to turn any thumbscrews or turn the handle to lock it in place, this means the handles can be folded away of you want to achieve a slimline look on your setup but can be engaged very quickly if a bit occurs and makes packing these away very quick and easy too.
