Ghosthorn Green Spinning Fishing Reel — Quick-Change Drag, Heavy-Duty, Salt & Freshwater

A tough, smooth spinning (rotating) reel built for Kiwi conditions — from harbour snapper missions to lakes and rivers for bass, trout, pike, and salmon. The quick-change drag system and fast-rotation handle make it easy to adapt on the water, while the large-capacity spool handles long runs and heavier leaders.

Key Features

• Smooth, consistent drag: Confident pressure across the fight for fewer pulled hooks.

• Fast-rotation handle: Rapid pick-up and responsive feel when jigging or working lures.
  
• Saltwater & freshwater ready: Sealed design cues and materials for versatile use.
  
• Ambidextrous: Handle swaps easily for left- or right-hand retrieve.
