Information

The drivetrain

The MG7's magnesium-alloy frame and C6 carbon side plate keep it light at 135g, while the MAGTRAX III brake across the range gives consistent, adjustable control over backlash regardless of which sub-model you're running. Nothing about the feel oversells the specification; it simply delivers what a rod or reel built this way should deliver.

What it's built for

An ultralight finesse baitcasting series split into distinct sub-models: MG7 for light-lure pitching through mid-weight big baits, LTX as a bait-finesse set-up for fresh and saltwater, and BEAST6/BEAST9 for big-bait casting or fast, short-distance precision work. Reach for it when the conditions and target species described above line up with your trip, rather than as a one-size-fits-all substitute.

How it fishes

Choose the sub-model to match retrieve demands: BEAST6's 6.8:1 ratio suits slow-rolled big baits, MG7's 7.5:1 is an all-rounder, and LTX's 8.3:1 or BEAST9's 9.5:1 suit quicker presentations and fast line pick-up. Fine details of speed and rhythm are best tuned on the water, since light and clarity change how fish respond to it.

Spools and spares

Pair with a bass casting rod matched to lure weight, running fluorocarbon line sized to the spool and technique, from light pitching line through to heavier big-bait mono. Local conditions and the typical fish size on your water should guide the last details of line and leader choice.
