ABU GARCIA Kurofune LT

A lightweight 178g small boat double-axis reel that can be used for red snapper, squid, filefish, light gomoku, etc. C6 carbon frame, lightweight and strong housing with side plates, salt shield pinion BB
A small boat double-axis reel that weighs 178g, lighter than its price. Lightweight and sharp action for luring filefish and squid, tataki, and slack fishing techniques. Also suitable for red snapper, which is popular now.

Carbon frame, crank side and palm side plates
The unique new material C6 carbon is an engineering plastic reinforced with carbon fiber, and its rigidity is comparable to that of magnesium. The use of this material has achieved significant weight reduction without sacrificing strength and durability.
KUROFUNE has adopted this cutting-edge material for the frame and both side plates to reduce weight.

Extra-super duralumin gears and gear shafts
To ensure light weight and strength, extra-super duralumin gears and gear shafts are used.

Salt Shield TM Pinion Bearing
By adopting a newly developed ball bearing with a water-repellent coating applied to the entire inside and outside, the salt jamming phenomenon that causes abnormal rotation noise has been greatly reduced.
We have succeeded in greatly improving the rotation feel and durability.
We adopted it on the pinion gear part, which is the part of a spinning reel that is most likely to retain salt crystals.

Backup ratchet
In addition to the one-way bearing at the base of the handle, a ratchet-type backup ratchet is also used to prepare for the unlikely event of a large catch.

Mid-round EVA knob & 95mm long, 3mm thick crank handle arm
The handle arm is made of 95mm long, 3mm thick aluminum. Equipped with a round EVA knob, it provides stable gripping.
It allows for not only fast reeling but also stable retrieval.

1/2, 1/3, 1/4 split guide lines for winding
Taking into consideration various line uses, we machined guide lines for winding 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 of the line amount into the side of the spool.
It makes it easy to consider the guide amount for winding, which is a hassle.
It makes it possible to just fit the appropriate line capacity, making it possible to make the most of the benefits of the maximum spool diameter.

Recessed reel foot
Allows even lower profile. Height from foot is approximately 41mm. Provides comfortable palming performance.
Enables comfortable luring when fishing for small fish from a boat.
