What is it?
One3 Creed X Spinning Reel
What sets it apart?
The Air Foil carbon frame reduces weight and maximizes durability, while also yielding greater rigidity. The latter allows for better drive train alignment resulting in improved tolerances to maximize gear feeling. Add to this the precision Japanese Hamia cut gearing and the Creed X delivers a nearly weightless feeling with optimal gear mesh ensuring drivetrain durability. One3 bolsters these performance points with the comfortably secure grip of the Evolve Soft Touch Knob and the dependability of a Strong Arm 1-piece Aluminum Handle.
How do I use it?
Sizes 1000, 2000, 3000 and 4000 weigh 7.9, 8, 9.3 and 9.7 ounces, respectively. The smaller two models bring 11 pounds of drag to the fight, while the 3000 and 4000 max out at 13. All of Creed X reels have a 5.2:1 gear ratio. Boasting 8+ 1 stainless steel ball bearings (including Infinite Anti Reverse), the Creed X family offers superior stopping power with carbon 6-disc drag systems, which yield broader drag range with overall smoother performance than felt drags.

Angler’s insight:
Slipping or seizing drags are the stuff of nightmares, particularly when you’ve already seen the big fish that grabbed your shaky head or sucked in your dropshot bait. One3 put a lot of effort into making sure that didn’t happen with the Creed X. Wrapping that smooth, reliable drag system within a sturdy, lightweight body yields a dependable tool that should perform well in a variety of high-stakes scenarios. When you have that kicker on the line, you don’t want to be second guessing your reel choice.
