Why the EDGE 4000 HSX Stands Out
-
Speed + Power Combo: With its high gear ratio and strong drag, this reel is excellent for anglers who want fast retrieves without sacrificing control when a fish fights back.
-
Lightweight Yet Tough: The use of graphite and aluminum parts gives you a reel that’s easy to carry and cast with, but durable enough to handle serious use.
-
Value for Performance: Given its feature set, the EDGE HSX series offers exceptional performance for the price — making it a smart upgrade for both beginner and intermediate anglers.
-
Versatile Use: Ideal for techniques like spinning with light to medium lures, surf fishing, or even boat fishing when you want speed and responsiveness.
