Konger Impact Free Spool FD/FSS 980 Reel

Konger Impact Free Spool FD/FSS 980 Reel

The Impact Bait Runner 980 FD/FSS is a reel dedicated to carp fishing, part of the portfolio of the Polish manufacturer Konger, known primarily for its modern design and gear robustness.

Besides the modern design, the reel features a very solid interior, with a strong shaft, a precise slow oscillation system, and a finely adjustable drag mechanism, which are just a few advantages of this reel. Despite its considerable weight, it offers reliability and power reserve in battles with large fish. The reel is equipped with 9 stainless steel bearings placed at critical points of the gears. The body is made from corrosion-resistant composite material and has a compact design. The reel comes with a front drag that has fine adjustment and is also equipped with an adjustable bite alarm brake positioned at the rear. The spool’s stroke is limited by the central pinion, ensuring perfect line lay, while the baitrunner disengages at one third of a crank turn.

The long-cast aluminum spool can hold no less than 485m of 0.40mm line, making it one of its main strengths, especially suited for still water fishing. The spool is fitted with a thin lip, a feature that helps achieve long-distance casts for anglers who prefer this fishing style. The shape of the spool and its lip allow smooth and low-friction line release during casting. The titanium-coated lip offers increased durability, allowing trouble-free use of braided lines, frequently used as leaders. The Impact Bait Runner 980 FD/FSS is equipped with a spare graphite spool. The pickup is oversized to reduce line friction during casts. The metal line roller is made from oversized titanium to reduce friction during retrieval and provide long-lasting durability. The handle knob is oversized and made from rubberized material for extra grip even when your hands are wet.

It is the perfect choice for anglers seeking a quality, reliable, and high-performance reel at a reasonable price.
