Guru X-Change Bait Up 5000 Reel

Description

The Guru X-Change Bait Up 5000 Reel is a specialist feeder fishing reel developed for anglers who need to introduce large amounts of bait quickly and accurately. Whether preparing a swim for a competitive match or regularly baiting throughout a session, this dedicated reel delivers the speed, power and durability required for demanding baiting-up techniques.

Speed plays an important role when baiting up, particularly during competitive feeder fishing where every minute counts. Therefore, Guru has equipped the reel with a high-speed 5.5:1 gear ratio and an impressive 110cm retrieve per handle turn. This allows anglers to retrieve their bait-up feeder quickly, introduce more bait efficiently and spend less time winding between casts.

Built around a robust graphite body and rotor, the reel combines strength with a lightweight construction. Furthermore, the 3K woven carbon rotor cover adds durability while giving the reel a distinctive appearance. Inside, 7+1 carbon steel ball bearings provide smooth operation, even during repeated casting and retrieving.

The machine-cut Power Drive gear delivers the strength needed for demanding baiting-up sessions. In addition, the machine-cut aluminium spool and handle provide further durability when working with heavily loaded feeders. As a result, the reel offers a reliable setup for anglers who regularly introduce larger quantities of bait into their swim.

For improved control, the Guru X-Change Bait Up Reel features a High Speed Drag System with multi-carbon washers and Infinite Anti-Reverse. These features provide responsive drag adjustment and positive engagement when required. Meanwhile, the soft-touch T-shape handle knob offers a comfortable, secure grip during repeated retrieves.

Accuracy is equally important when baiting up. Consequently, Guru has included double metal line clips to help anglers maintain consistent casting distances and concentrate their feed in the chosen area. This makes the reel particularly useful when establishing an accurate feeding zone during feeder fishing sessions.

Designed to work alongside the 10ft, 11ft and 12ft Guru X-Change Bait Up Rods and X-Change Bait Up Braid, this reel forms part of a dedicated baiting-up system. Overall, the Guru X-Change Bait Up 5000 Reel combines rapid retrieval, dependable power and practical features to help anglers feed efficiently and maximise their fishing time.
