Park Falls, WI – Built for greater power, smooth and simple operation, and uncompromising durability, SEVIIN expands its performance-focused GS Series with six all-new 150-size GS casting models – each combining premium components and innovative designs for maximum adjustability, satisfying feel, intuitive operation, and uncompromising reliability.

“GS Series spinning reels debuted in January, setting the standard for this SEVIIN series that couples premium performance with exceptional mid-price value,” says Robert Woods, Product Manager for SEVIIN Reels. “Our first casting reels in the GS Series are designed to excel in freshwater power-fishing applications like heavier pitching and flipping and casting larger lures. Their larger 150 size allows for an upsized 95-mm carbon fiber handle and spool designs optimized for varied line types, including heavier braids of 40 lbs. and greater.”

SEVIIN’s all-new GS Series of casting reels consists of six models in three available gear ratios – 6.6:1, 7.3:1, and 8.1:1 – with right-hand or left-hand retrieve configurations. Retail price is $180.

ONE-PIECE ALUMINUM FRAME
GS Series casting reels are crafted on a robust & lightweight one-piece aluminum frame. Combining extreme strength with maximum rigidity, the one-piece aluminum chassis works with carbon-fiber side plates to isolate gears and eliminate flex that leads to premature wear and reel failure.

PRECISION-MACHINED DRIVETRAIN
GS casting reels are built for harsh conditions with CNC-machined aluminum drive gears and hard-brass pinion gears for maximum longevity with exceptional feel. Drivetrain mechanicals are supported by a silky 9+1 stainless-steel ball bearing system, with Japanese spool bearings on the stainless-steel spool shaft for uncompromising castability.

CARBON-FIBER DRAG
Friction washers in the GS casting reel’s drag system are crafted from woven carbon fiber and are virtually impervious to wear. Complimentary stainless-steel washers within the stack provide drag lockdown at up to 21 pounds, offering smooth performance at all settings in all conditions.

CARBON-FIBER HANDLE
A thick, custom-designed ultra-light one-piece 95-mm carbon-fiber handle provides extreme strength and maintains rigidity in the heaviest cranking conditions. Its sleek, swept design places the soft-touch paddle grips closer to the reel’s center line, resulting in zero felt side torque under load.

DUAL BRAKING SYSTEM
A dual magnetic and centrifugal braking system works in concert with a precision spool-tensioner to offer three levels of adjustability for maximum casting distance and positive spool control in any conditions. Magnetic and spool-tension controls are located on the reel’s exterior, while the angler-friendly centrifugal braking system features a simple control dial, easily accessed behind an attached Hinged Speed Cover.

OPTIMIZED SPOOL DIAMETERS
Each of GS’s three available gear ratios – 6.6:1, 7.3:1, and 8.1:1 – feature variable spool sizes optimized for maximum performance with intended techniques, ultimately providing greater angler control in the most-common fishing applications associated with each specific GS model.

TESTING
Like every other SEVIIN reel, each production run of GS Series casting reels undergoes 16 grueling tests inside SEVIIN’s very own testing laboratory in Park Falls, Wisconsin. These tests ensure that every reel delivers the performance, durability, and reliability necessary to wear the SEVIIN name and create better fishing experiences.
