The NEW Cardinal 600
ABU GARCIA® CARDINAL® 600 SERIES SPINNING REELS
Lighter, Stronger With Stamina Drag System
Here is a very nice and very affordable spinning reel. So far in field testing, I really like the weight and smooth retreive offered by the new Cardinal 600 series of spinning reels claiming to be the lightest and strongest reels in their class.
The Cardinal 600 combines an outstanding appearance with the latest
technology that delivers an extremely strong reel that is 20% lighter
than comparable reels.
The Cardinal 600 features the patented Stamina drag system, with 240
percent more drag surface than conventional drags. Located at the
base of the spool, the easy-access Stamina drags produce 35 percent
less heat than competitive models. The smooth and powerful drag is
created with multi-disc Teflon and graphite with stainless components.
The one-piece aluminum stem/gear box maintains gear alignment for the
life of the reel. Five bearings enhance the reels ultra-smooth
performance. Line is evenly placed on the spool with the
even-line-lay oscillation system. The oversized line roller prevents
line twist and fatigue during take up.
Each reel comes with the Mega-Distance' casting system including an
aluminum spool with the quick disconnect feature. Spools are skirted
to prevent line tangles along the shaft.
Anglers will appreciate powerful hooksetting advantage of the Instant
Anti-Reverse which can instantly be turned off or on and the EZ
Access gearing. Removing only three screws allows easy maintenance
without losing gear alignment. The reversible aluminum handle is
finished with a comfortable soft touch knob, similar to the bait casting reels.
The 6.0-ounce Cardinal 600U ultra-light model has a gear ratio of
4.8:1 and 100 yards of 4-pound test monofilament can be loaded. The
Cardinal 602 weighs 7.8 ounces, has a gear ratio of 5.1:1 and holds
up to 110 yards of 8-pound test monofilament.
The suggested retail price of either Cardinal 600 series spinning
reel is $54.95.
