Frequently Asked Questions
Is this reel suitable for casting lures?
While it can certainly be used for casting large lures, the Rovex Offshore is primarily designed as a robust powerhouse for bait fishing applications, where its tough construction and powerful drag are the main priorities.
What makes the 27kg drag so important?
A powerful and reliable drag is the single most important feature when you hook a large, powerful offshore fish. The 27kg of smooth carbon fibre pressure gives you the confidence to apply the brakes and turn a big fish's head during a powerful run, which is often the difference between landing it and losing it.
