abu garcia cardinal stx10 reel STX60 spinning — Reelfishing Main Shaft ABU GARCIA SORON

Were back at it with the next installment of my Best of 2026 so far series, and today we are getting into the heavy artillery

Medium-Fast: bends about half of the blank

Its heavier than most standard baitcasters by several ounces, but on the properly balanced rod its not cumbersome, and because its offered in multiple gear ratios from slow to fast, anglers can find the one that balances their needs, too

I can work a jerkbait for 8 hours and not experience any forearm or elbow fatigue at the end of the day

Double-dipped for enhanced durability, they last much longer than most other tubes

This combo consists of the Daiwa Aird 2000 size reel fully spooled with J Braid x4 6lb line
