Ryobi Ecusima Big Cat Reel

Ryobi Ecusima Big Cat Reel

The Ryobi Ecusima Big Cat is a top-tier reel designed for catfish and other large predators. It is a very robust and durable reel, built to withstand the toughest fishing methods. It features a stable carbon drag with high braking power. The reel is equipped with 4+1 stainless steel bearings, an aluminum spool, an anti-reverse system, and a CNC aluminum handle.

The Ryobi Ecusima Big Cat was designed for endurance fishing, in situations where the gearing and drag system are heavily challenged by the strong fight of a big fish. The aluminum spool has a large line capacity, making it a reliable choice for lake fishing as well, where casting live bait setups requires long distances from the shore.

It is fitted with carbon drag washers for quick brake activation at the initial fish run. The adjustment is surprisingly smooth, especially for a reel categorized as medium-large. The reel features four bearings in the gear system and one on the roller. The spool and handle are CNC machined from duralumin for maximum strength. The 6500 version is also perfectly suited for carp fishing enthusiasts on the Danube.
