Introducing the baby brother of the original ESP Onyx reel, the new Compact version features all of the same excellent technical attributes of the original, but in a smaller, lighter unit.
Featuring a sleek, understated black livery and diminutive in size (similar to a 5000 Emblem) when compared with the original, it comes with two bespoke anodised aluminium spools, Shallow, designed to accommodate 300m of 15lb (0.37mm) and Ultra Shallow for 300m of 12lb (0.33mm). This means that three reels can be filled from a 1,000m bulk spool with minimal waste.
The solid foundation provided by the shallow spools where no spongy backing is required and slow oscillation result in exceptionally good line lay with no bedding in, ensuring optimum casting distances can be achieved.
A gear ratio of 4.8:1 provides a fast retrieve of 0.95m of line with every turn of the handle. The Compact is supplied with two different drag adjusters FD (Fine Drag for micro adjustment) and RL (Rapid Lockdown for free running to locked down in around half a turn). Another desirable feature is the quick fold handle with a dark wood paddle, for rapid deployment and pack down, which also allows the handle to be folded in use for super snug rod setups.
