The new VaderX FS packs contemporary power into a classic design, giving you style and substance that will look good on any setup. Providing reliable, powerful performance and genuine value for money, the VaderX FS comes with two CNC machined aluminium spare spools. A micro adjust front drag and a highly effective 5:5:1 gear ratio gives you a fast retrieve whilst the stainless steel main shaft won’t let you down, no matter how heavy duty your session gets. Big carp? Small beer to this highly effective, affordable reel that’s tailored for performance and crafted for light, balanced presentation, handling and action. The 5000 size VaderX comes in at just 430g, while the larger 6000 size is just 455g, meaning that you can fish comfortably all day long without being bothered by the weight of your reel. An independent free spool rear drag comes into its own in those lively fights with big fish, or when a larger specimen gives a sudden, strong take and then shoots off on a run. The spare spools supplied make it quick and easy to swap out your line to meet changing conditions or handle a species you weren’t expecting to find in front of you this session. The micro adjust of the front drag allows for expert sensitivity, which is backed up by the power and reliability of the rest of this performance-focused reel, which offers the perfect choice for all your coarse and carp angling. Classic style with contemporary substance; everything that every angler is looking for in their core tackle choices.

Laszlo Kerepeczky05/07/2023, 12:48 AMsurprisingly amazing for the price. the handle is to small though, it's a 10 bucks fix from amazon. Spooled Prologic Density 0.37 line mounted on a Fox explorer 10 ft rod casting easy over 100 meters. and yes the line clip is finicky. still 5 stars imo

Joshua Sefers10/26/2022, 04:05 AMAmazing reels!! The ONLY drawback is that the line clip isn't the best. Very hard to get braid under it and even frayed my line once.

Paul Berlovan10/11/2021, 04:08 PMI purchased 2 of these to go with my Sonik extractor 9ft rods. These reels are simply amazing. The quality for the price will not be matched. I was using Daiwa Em cast reels and this reel is smoother and casts better. Don't look any further if you need a quality bait runner reel. This reel will meet all your expectations and perform very well.

MICHAEL MURILLO06/23/2020, 07:57 AMA very compact and light weight reel. This is exactly what I was looking for regarding the size. The reel does have a nice drag ping when the line is being stripped out. I am very happy with this level of quality at this price range.

Boris05/23/2020, 06:39 PMGreat sturdy reels, for a very low price. I got both 5000 and 6000 and honestly there is no difference in size of the reel. The only difference is in the size of the spool, if you really need extra long casting (6000) or not (5000).
