K-Karp was studying on this new reel since a couple of years with the aim to create a reel that could suit both shore casting anglers and anglers that prefer to position their baits using a boat very far from the shore. We applied the “Advanced Safe Cast System” that actually blocks the rotor as soon as the bail arm is opened, whatever its position. This safety system has been widely field tested by the whole K-Karp team in a number of situations, and avoids accidental closure of the bail during the most powerful casts just turning the handle forward. The carp-runner system is very accurate and allows to move from the free drag to the preset drag. The sealed drag discs are alternate stainless steel and carbon, allowing a very accurate and long lasting presetting. You can find many other top level features on the Reaction VX, such as the hollow bail, the Worm Shaft gear for perfect line lay, the anti twist roller and the fighting aluminium handle.
