Product Information

Full details

The NGT Profiler 60 is designed for both mobile anglers who value portability and those participating in longer, stationary carp fishing sessions. Its primary advantage is the combination of an ultra-lightweight design with robust performance features like a quick drag system and twin line clips. While it offers excellent versatility, users should note that the 4.4:1 gear ratio is tuned more for steady retrieval power rather than high-speed winding, which may be a consideration for specific lure fishing styles.

While it can function in various environments, it is primarily designed for freshwater carp fishing. Ensure thorough cleaning if used near salt water to prevent corrosion.

What is the gear ratio of this reel?

The NGT Profiler 60 features a 4.4:1 gear ratio.

Is the handle reversible?

What is the total weight of the reel?

Does it come with a case?

Troubleshooting

Handle feels stiff or noisy

Check if the handle is fully seated and tightened; apply a small amount of reel grease to the exterior pivot points.

Line tangling during cast

Ensure the spool is not overfilled and the line is wound under tension to prevent loose coils.

Quick drag not engaging smoothly

Ensure the drag washers are clean and free of debris; wipe with a dry cloth and ensure the drag cap is properly threaded.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Profiler 60, follow these guidelines:

Spool Installation: Ensure the spool is seated correctly on the main shaft before tightening the drag nut.
Handle Configuration: Loosen the handle cap on the side opposite to the current handle position, remove the handle, swap it, and secure the cap tightly.
Line Capacity: Adhere to the rated capacities of 0.40mm/185m or 0.45mm/140m to avoid line bedding issues or spooling difficulties.
Maintenance: Regularly wipe the reel down with a damp cloth after use to remove grit or debris. Avoid submersing the reel in water. If fishing in sandy or dusty conditions, consider applying a light reel lubricant to the bail arm hinge once per season.
