Bearking Athena II Silver – an ultra-lightweight and powerful spinning reel

Are you looking for a reel that combines impeccable sensitivity, lightness, and power in a single body? The Bearking Athena II is a next-generation spinning reel designed for anglers who value precision. Thanks to its extremely low weight (starting at just 149 g!) and corrosion-resistant materials, this reel is ideal for both subtle ultralight (UL) spinning in freshwater and saltwater fishing.

Key Features and Technologies

Ultra-light body and ergonomics

The Bearking Athena II series reels are remarkably lightweight. The smallest 800 model weighs just 149 grams, allowing for perfect balance with even the lightest spinning rod. The ergonomic aluminum handle with a comfortable plastic grip reduces hand fatigue even after a full day of intense casting.

Reliable mechanism and stainless steel bearings

The reel features a 5+1 high-quality stainless steel bearing system (6BB), ensuring exceptionally smooth and consistent rotation. The main shaft is made of brass, and the bearings are corrosion-resistant, so the reel can withstand harsh environments—you can confidently use it for saltwater fishing from the shore or a boat.

Powerful Drag System

Despite its compact size, this reel packs serious power. Depending on the model, the maximum braking force reaches up to 5–6 kg, allowing you to confidently battle a larger predator that has unexpectedly taken the bait.

Optimal Gear Ratio for Efficient Lure Retrieval

All models in the series feature a universal 5.2:1 gear ratio, which guarantees stable, controlled, and smooth line retrieval—this is especially important when fishing with wobblers, spoons, or soft plastics.
