Bearking Athena-B – a revolutionary, lightweight, and precise spinning reel

Are you looking for a reel that won’t alter the balance of your ultralight tackle at all and will let you feel even the slightest twitch of the lure? The new Bearking Athena-B series sets new standards in the budget-friendly yet professional-grade reel segment. It’s an incredibly lightweight yet sturdy reel, designed for those who demand maximum sensitivity and flawless line lay.

Why choose the Bearking Athena-B reel?

Record-breaking lightness—starting at just 134 g

Thanks to modern manufacturing technologies and a lightweight body design, the smallest model in the Athena-B series weighs a staggering 134 grams. It is one of the lightest reels in its price category, allowing you to balance even the most delicate “XUL” (Extra Ultralight) and “UL” spinning rods designed for fishing for perch, trout, or pike.

Stainless Steel Bearing System

Hidden inside the reel is a reliable and durable stainless steel bearing system. It ensures smooth, soft, and silent rotation of the rotor. These bearings feature enhanced corrosion resistance, ensuring the reel will last a long time even during intensive fishing in wet conditions.

Optimal 5.2:1 gear ratio and stable power

The versatile 5.2:1 gear ratio ensures an ideal balance between bait retrieval speed control and reel power. Depending on the size of the model selected, the precisely adjustable drag system offers a maximum drag force of 4 to 6 kg, which is more than enough to handle the fierce strikes of predatory fish.

Shallow spools (S-Shallow) designed for long-distance casting

Some models in the series (marked with the letter “S”) come equipped with special shallow aluminum spools (Shallow Cup). This allows you to spool thin braided PE lines directly onto the spool without any additional backing. The ideal geometry of the spool’s rim reduces friction during the cast, so even the lightest lures fly noticeably farther.
