The specimen BR 9-40 and smaller Carp Method BR 9-30 reels are an excellent choice for anglers wanting all the advantages of a freespool facility, but on a smaller reel body. The freespool system allows line to be taken by a fish until you engage the rear lever. A design widely used by specimen anglers targeting large carp and barbel, but has also become increasingly popular for general coarse fishing applications. There is also a growing trend for freespool type reels when targeting match-sized carp on commercial fisheries - particularly with bomb and method feeder tactics.
Each model comes with an alloy spool as standard plus a shallower composite spool and a useful set of line identification buttons
