Ardent XS 600 Casting Reels - $129.99

The XS600 Casting Reel is a solid performer in the midst of Ardent's casting reel lineup. Many amateur and pro bass anglers alike have come to appreciate the 100% American made Ardent reels. Boasting names on their pro staff such as Denny Brauer and Alton Jones (who actually won the 2008 Bassmaster Classic using Ardent reels), Ardent is quickly becoming an American favorite.

Featuring a lightweight Magnesium Alloy Frame and 6 Stainless Steel Bearings, the Ardent XS600 offers fast, secure retrieves. The Strike Saver Drag System provides absolute lockdown capability and the clicking star drag design helps the angler make minute adjustments when fighting fish. The 6-pin Centrifugal Brake System rounds out the features and is accessed through the Quick Release Side Plate.

Ardent is the only 100% American owned company which designs and manufactures all of its products in the U.S. Every Ardent reel is hand assembled and performance tested in their Macon, Missouri facility prior to shipment and backed by an industry best 3 year warranty.

Comments: Good reel, casts like a dream especially when you get anything 1/2 oz or over it casts a mile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love this reel wouldnt hesitate to get another. they got these on sale at the ardent website for 89 bucks would be crazy not to pick it up for this price point

Comments:I got 3 of these (one for frogs, one for buzzbaits, and the other for worms) along with a C400 (for jigs). When I started fishing tourneys here in South Florida, I needed to get a good casting reel that would cast far onto grass mats and lilly pads when frogin' and even on a 7'3" H rod, this reel hurls a spro frog 60 yards on 50lb braid. These reels are also super, super smooth, have a good drag, and plenty of power and speed to get fish out of cover fast, and hook setting power to boot! I get same performance out of these reels when fishing bussbaits, and worms. Great casts, and super smoothness and consistent with all my XS 600's! I plan on selling one of my Zillions to get an XS 1000!
