Fishing Gear: H2OX Evo Baitcasting Reel

H2OX Evo Baitcasting Reel

Description and Application: The Evo baitcaster comes standard with a durable 1-piece aluminum frame, lightweight and durable carbon sideplates that are hinged for easy access. The centrifugal brake system allows for accurate casting and will help prevent backlashes from occurring. The Evo series provides unique premium features for even the most experienced anglers, while maintaining comparable value. The Evo comes in both 7.3:1 and 8.1:1 gear ratios and they’re available online or at your local Academy Sports + Outdoors retailer.

Staff Perspective:Having the right reel for the right application not only gives you confidence, but it increases your ability to make repetitive and accurate casts. The 7.3:1 gear ratio is a great reel for both vertical and horizontal baits, like a vibrating jig, and the 8.1:1 is best suited for Texas-rigged baits and jigs—having both options only increases the value of the Evo baitcasting reels—and they look great in the black and blue finish.
