Fox EOS Free Spool - 8000

The free spool system allows a fish to take line without resistance when it bites, reducing the chance of it being alerted by the drag. This can be instantly switched to a front drag for playing the fish.

The 8000 size reel has a line capacity of 300 meters of 0.30mm line.

Regularly rinse with fresh water after use, wipe clean with a damp cloth, and apply light reel oil to moving parts. Store in a dry place.

Yes, the EOS FS range is available in four sizes: 8000, 10000, 12000, and 14000, to cover a wider spectrum of fishing needs.

While the reel is designed for durability, it is strongly recommended to rinse it thoroughly with fresh water after any use in saltwater to prevent corrosion and maintain performance.

Clean the reel thoroughly to remove any grit or debris. Apply a light coat of reel oil to the handle mechanism and main shaft. Ensure no line is tangled around the rotor or spool.

Check for any obstructions around the free spool lever or spool. Ensure the spool is seated correctly. Clean and lightly lubricate the mechanism if necessary.
