Favorite X1 Casting Reel

A Solid Baitcaster with Excellent Value

The Favorite X1 Casting Reel is available in 2 sizes and brings together great ergonomics, a robust and durable construction, and quality components in a package that will serve you well on the water for a long time to come.

Strong Gearing and 11+1 Ball Bearings

The body of the Favorite X1 Casting Reel is built from Nylon T60, a material that is highly robust and long-lasting. Inside, a Brass HD Gear system - featuring a main gear made from a bronze alloy - together with ball-bearing support on the drive gear, delivers reliable and equally durable performance. With 11+1 ball bearings, the reel turns with a smooth, fluid action that you can genuinely feel when fishing.

Top Drag Performance on the Cast and During the Fight

The drag system on the Favorite X1 Casting Reel is equally impressive. A strong micro-click star drag can be adjusted with great precision and delivers up to 8 or 10 kg of drag pressure depending on the model - giving you solid control when playing big fish. The combined centrifugal and magnetic dual braking system handles spool control during the cast, preventing overrun and the bird's nests that come with it, so you can achieve clean, long casts even in tricky conditions.

Optimised for Braid

The Favorite X1 Casting Reel is fitted with a tapered ceramic line guide, which reduces line friction - particularly on the cast - and benefits overall casting performance. The spool itself is optimised for use with braid, which makes good sense given that most anglers use braid for lure fishing.

2 Models for Different Applications

The Favorite X1 Casting Reel comes in 2 models that differ not only in size and the drag ratings already mentioned, but also in gear ratio.

100HDL

The Favorite X1 Casting Reel 100HDL is the smaller model, with a higher gear ratio of 7.2:1. This all-round ratio is a natural fit here, as the reel is optimised for versatile fishing for zander, pike and largemouth bass. It handles a wide range of techniques and lures - twitchbaits, crankbaits, soft plastics on a jig head and smaller swimbaits - making it a flexible choice for targeting predators.

200HD

The Favorite X1 Casting Reel 200HD is the workhorse of the range, built for serious power. Its power gearing at 6.4:1 makes it clear what this reel is designed for: fishing large, heavy lures such as swimbaits and jerkbaits up to 160 g. This is the reel you reach for when targeting big pike or when wels catfish are the goal - a true big fish hunter.
