Developed in collaboration with Kevin Brightwell of KGB Swimbaits, the SPRO KGB Elite MG 300 Casting Reel is engineered for dedicated swimbait anglers who demand power, durability, and smooth performance. The reel features a hybrid aluminum and magnesium frame that balances strength with reduced weight, while a high-grade brass shaft enhances internal durability and drag consistency.
With a maximum drag of 30 pounds, anglers can confidently lock down the drag for solid hooksets. An integrated audible click drag provides feedback when fishing at lower drag settings. Eleven stainless steel ball bearings deliver a consistently smooth retrieve, and the oversized spool and level wind system ensure improved line capacity, uniform line lay, and longer casts.
Extra-long handles with oversized knobs provide enhanced leverage and control when fighting large fish. Despite its strength, the KGB Elite MG is housed in a compact 300 size frame for improved handling and comfort.
The reel is available in 7.3:1 and 8.1:1 gear ratios, with both right and left-hand retrieve options, allowing anglers to quickly pick up line and maintain pressure on big fish.
