Full details
The NGT Camo 60 3BB Carp Runner is designed for carp anglers who require a dependable, pre-spooled reel that delivers reliable performance without a complicated setup. It is ideal for both beginners and hobbyist anglers looking for a robust tool featuring an instant anti-reverse and a multi-disk drag system.

FAQs
What is the gear ratio of the NGT Camo 60?
The gear ratio is 4.7:1, which provides high power for retrieving larger fish.
Does it come with extra line?
It comes pre-spooled with 12lb line and includes a spare spool for your own preferred line.
Can I use this for sea fishing?
While it is built for carp fishing, ensure you rinse it thoroughly with fresh water after every use if used near salt water to prevent rust.
What does '3BB' mean?
3BB stands for 3 Ball Bearings, which help reduce friction and ensure the internal parts move smoothly.
Is the handle left or right-hand retrieve?
The handle can typically be swapped for left or right-hand use by unscrewing the handle cap from the opposite side.
Troubleshooting
Line tangling during cast
Check that the line is not overfilled on the spool and ensure the line is guided evenly during retrieval.
Baitrunner drag feels too tight
Adjust the rear tension control knob on the back of the reel to decrease the resistance for the free-spool mode.
Handle feeling stiff
Check for debris near the handle pivot and apply a light machine oil to the moving parts.

Care Instructions
- Post-Fishing Rinse: Wipe the reel down with a damp cloth after use, especially if used in salt or brackish water environments to prevent corrosion.
- Handle Folding: Always fold the handle carefully to ensure the locking mechanism remains clean of debris.
- Storage: Store the reel in a dry environment and use the included spare spool to keep your secondary line protected from sunlight when not in use.
