Description

The Abu Garcia TRV DLC is a DLC-coated baitcasting reel with a built-in line counter from Abu Garcia Japan, aimed at anglers who want a steady, controlled retrieve.

A retrieve-speed meter is shown above the line counter so anglers can gauge and hold a consistent winding speed. The 120mm long carbon handle (4mm-thick carbon) keeps weight down while supporting stable cranking. Super-duralumin gears and the carbon handle bring total weight to 198g. A Carbon Matrix drag plus a drag-clicker add a smoother, more exciting fight with audible drag-click feedback.

Other features: 9 stainless ball bearings + 1 roller bearing (with a SaltSield-sealed bearing at the pinion gear), a backlit line counter, gunwale alarm, simple 2-button counter operation (power on/off and reset/light), a spool with under-wind guide marks (1/3 and 1/2), and a user-replaceable CR2032 counter battery. The line counter ships pre-loaded for PE1.5 (200m, four-strand braid); other line set-ups are entered via the counter's input modes.

Information

The drivetrain

The DLC coating and super-duralumin gears keep the retrieve smooth at 198g, and a retrieve-speed meter above the built-in line counter lets you see and hold a consistent winding speed rather than judging it by feel alone. Overall it behaves as you would expect for a build of this specification, rewarding a measured, deliberate technique over brute force.

What it's built for

A line-counter baitcasting reel suited to boat techniques where hitting and holding a precise depth matters, useful across a range of bottom and mid-water saltwater bait and lure presentations. It earns its place in the rack for exactly the situations outlined above, rather than as a general stand-in for other gear.

How it fishes

Use the counter to return to a productive depth quickly after each drop, and lean on the Carbon Matrix drag with its audible clicker to track a fish's run by ear during the fight. Small adjustments in timing and pace through the retrieve often make the difference between a follow and a committed strike.

Spools and spares

Ships pre-set for PE1.5 over 200m; pair with a boat rod of matching power and a leader suited to the bottom structure and species you're targeting. Treat the figures above as a starting point and adjust line and leader to match conditions on your own water.
