I fish and tournament cast with zziplex and century rods (and have cast 280yds+). Been fishing 50+ yrs. Bought one of these (50 size) for my 14 yr old for feathering mackeral on a 10ft salmon spinning rod, (didn't want to pay expensive just for that). I usually use an Abu baitcaster for my spinning... bought another one of these for light spinning/sea float fishing for myself 5 minutes after I opened the box. For the money - superb. Any bad reviews MUST be people manhandling them. Feel as strong and as smooth running as any fixed spool reel of this size I've ever used. Excellent. Review: Powerhouse. - Awesome little.reel for the money, played a 14lb carp with this on 6lb line (took a while). Very smooth and the drag is brilliant. ## Features - 2 ball bearings + 1 roller bearing provides smooth operation - Machined aluminum spool provides strength without adding excess weight - Lightweight graphite body and rotor - Slow oscillation provides even line lay with all types of line ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00QTWBF3Y | | Bearing Number | 3 | | Brand | Abu Garcia | | Brand Name | Abu Garcia | | Colour | Black | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 665 Reviews | | Fishing Line Type | Monofilament | | Fishing Reel Maximum Drag | 15.9 Pounds | | Fishing Technique | Spinning | | Fishing technique | Spinning | | Gearbox Ratio | 5.2 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00036282307551 | | Hand Orientation | Right Hand | | Hand orientation | Right Hand | | Handle Material | Aluminium | | Included Components | Fishing Reel | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 14L x 13.5W x 8.6H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Spinning Reels | | Item Weight | 0.31 Kilograms | | Item weight | 0.31 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Pure Fishing | | Material | Aluminium , Graphite | | Material Type | Aluminium, Graphite | | Model Name | Abu Garcia Cardinal® 50 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Lightweight | | UPC | 036282307551 | ## Images ![– Cardinal Spinning Reel - All-Round Fishing Spin Reel for Freshwater or Saltwater, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61-9RT9woiL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ABSOLUTELY SUPERB VALUE MOR MONEY.

Very smooth and the drag is brilliant. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The reel is fine *by G***S on 22 December 2023* It was too small for my needs, the spool is very narrow, I re-spooled my line three times, got 5 wind knots every time I used it. This stuff is strong but I also didn't get the high Vis version. Just a lot of small things not working together for my setup. ## Frequently Bought Together - Abu Garcia Cardinal - Vicloon 120 PCS Fishing Lures Mixed Including Spinners,VIB,Treble Hooks,Single Hooks,Swivels,Pliers and Tackle Box --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/52060527-cardinal-spinning-reel-all-round-fishing-spin-reel-for-freshwater](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/52060527-cardinal-spinning-reel-all-round-fishing-spin-reel-for-freshwater) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
