Product Information
Full details
The NGT Profiler 60 is designed for both mobile anglers who value portability and those participating in longer, stationary carp fishing sessions. Its primary advantage is the combination of an ultra-lightweight design with robust performance features like a quick drag system and twin line clips. While it offers excellent versatility, users should note that the 4.4:1 gear ratio is tuned more for steady retrieval power rather than high-speed winding, which may be a consideration for specific lure fishing styles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Profiler 60, follow these guidelines:
- Spool Installation: Ensure the spool is seated correctly on the main shaft before tightening the drag nut.
- Handle Configuration: Loosen the handle cap on the side opposite to the current handle position, remove the handle, swap it, and secure the cap tightly.
- Line Capacity: Adhere to the rated capacities of 0.40mm/185m or 0.45mm/140m to avoid line bedding issues or spooling difficulties.
- Maintenance: Regularly wipe the reel down with a damp cloth after use to remove grit or debris. Avoid submersing the reel in water. If fishing in sandy or dusty conditions, consider applying a light reel lubricant to the bail arm hinge once per season.
