Product Information
Full details
The NGT GTS 60 is designed for carp and coarse fishing enthusiasts who need a dependable, ready-to-use bait runner reel. Its primary benefit is its "out-of-the-box" functionality, as it arrives pre-spooled with 15lb line and features a robust build for handling larger specimens. However, users should note that as a 60-size reel, it is best suited for medium-to-large carp fishing setups and may feel oversized for ultra-light tackle applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the NGT GTS 60, ensure the reel is securely fastened to your rod reel seat before spooling or casting. When using the bait runner feature, remember to adjust the tension of the rear drag to match the conditions of the water you are fishing.
Compatibility-wise, the GTS 60 is a versatile choice for standard 10ft, 11ft, or 12ft carp rods. For maintenance, keep the reel free of grit and sand, as these can interfere with the drive gears. Periodically check the line roller for debris and apply a small amount of reel oil to the moving parts annually to ensure the 2+1BB system remains smooth. Always store the reel in a protective case when not in use to maintain the matt black finish.
