The Megabass FX68R is yet another engineering feat from Yuki Ito and the team. A low profile baitcaster, the FX68R features a stack of innovative design features to make the fishing experience more effective.
Firstly the ergonomic design of this model features a T-Wing spool disengage lever which means when you press the lever to disengage the spool, the top of the reel rises creating a comfortable platform to press to quickly re-engage the gears.
There is also a magforce 3D dial located on the left hand side allowing over 60 individual adjustments. This controls the backwind and can be set for angler preference. In addition there are also three settings underneath the reel, which also adjusts the magnetic control.
They are Maxbrake, for heavy class lures such as large bibbed lures, All Round for general lures and LongCast, which is useful for anglers using a low pitch cast or flick where they cannot have room to use their full range of motion.
The reel features a high-density carbon composite body, which is extremely rigid. The gear ratio is 6.8:1 and the reel can exert 5kg of drag. Coming in at 190grams, the FX68R is a dream to use and continues in the tradition of Megabass.
