Bass Pro Shops CarbonLite Review
We have met the future, and it’s…amazing! Introducing one of the lightest baitcasters available today, built inside and out with an eye toward keeping the weight way down and the strength way up. You won’t believe how a 6.7 oz. reel can enhance your casting and retrieving, as well as your sense of feel. Its Recurve handle is made of carbon fiber, a space-age material that’s 30% lighter than, but still as strong as, aircraft-grade aluminum; the one-piece frame is high-end aluminum; the sideplates are premier graphite.

Actual Customer Feedback:
""I have a few expensive, major brand name baitcast reels, and this reel is by far my favorite one of the bunch! Just looking at it, you can tell it is a quality reel, and it has a lot of high-end features that some reels don't have at double the price. "

"Ordered this reel off of the reviews I saw and It's everything people said. Smooth action and lightweight. I'm using it with a Skeet Reese rod and It's awesome. Didn't want to spend too much since It's my second baitcaster reel."
