Kilwell RXB85 Baitfeeder Reel for Surf Casting Rugged Power

Meet the Kilwell RXB85 5+1BB Baitfeeder Reel—the flagship of Kilwell's RXB series, engineered for serious straylining and surf-casting sessions where control and reliability matter as much as bite detection. This reel pairs a rugged build with precise bait-feeder functionality, designed to help you stay dialed in from the first cast to the final big run.

• 5 ball bearings + 1 roller bearing deliver consistently smooth retrieves, even under demanding saltwater conditions.
• Stainless steel main shaft and corrosion-resistant components stand up to long sessions in salt spray and brackish water.
• Instant anti-reverse provides immediate bite detection and rock-solid hook sets when a fish strikes.
• Twin drag bait feeder system with micro-click adjustment lets you fine-tune the feeding rate and the main drag for controlled, confident battles.
• Anti-twist line roller minimizes line twist when using braided line, delivering cleaner casts and fewer tangles.
• Forged aluminium spool supports both monofilament and braided line, offering durability without adding unnecessary weight.

Performance that matches purpose-built setups:

• Size options: RXB30 (soft bait), RXB70 (straylining), RXB85 (straylining or surf casting) — choose the model that aligns with your target species and fishing style.
• Capacities: RXB85 holds approximately 310 m of 0.50 mm mono or 340 yd of 20 lb braid, giving you ample line for beach runs or drifting presentations.
• Retrieve ratio: 5.1:1, pulling in about 117 cm of line per full turn of the handle for efficient, steady gains.
• Max drag: 7.5 kg, providing strong, controllable fights without bottling your line.
• Bearings: 5 high-quality ball bearings + 1 roller bearing with rust-resistant construction for lasting performance.
• Line compatibility: optimized for both mono and braided lines, with an anti-twist roller to reduce twists during long casts.

Why the RXB85 is a smart choice for anglers chasing demanding setups:

• Specialized for straylining and surf casting, giving you reliable bait presentation paired with a robust main drag for tougher fish.
• Built with corrosion resistance and a forged aluminium spool to withstand years of saltwater use with minimal maintenance.
