A fantastic Big Pit reel that comes from high level experiences in the field of surfcasting, a discipline that shares many aspects with carp fishing, primarily the need of cast far, very far away, without affecting the fishing line.
In all the Reaction VX excels brilliantly, with its large tapered spool which dominates in terms of volumes and proportion, in contrast to the very compact body.
Thanks to the job done by the worm shaft, the fishing line is neatly wound in the spool's core, with angled and crossed coils that don't hinder each other when the casting force draws them quickly off the spool.
A special subframe, inserted between the spool's skirt and the structure of the rotor, prevents the fishing line from dropping down accidentally, putting at risk the safety of the entire system.
The important work of dividing the retrieve is in charge of a special aluminium handle, featuring a large rubber knob, whose arm is shaped to follow the profile of the rotor, without unbalancing the reel and without dispersing the force exerted by the user.
In order to prevent the bail from flipping during the delicate time of casting, the Reaction XT is not provided with the automating closing device, forcing the user to operate manually (Safe Cast System).
Beyond the risk of rod's breakage, this problem could endanger other anglers on the same waters, because the fishing line, when breaking, would release the lead into an uncontrolled flight.
