Mad Katz Xalt 6550 Conventional Reel

The Mad Katz Xalt 6550 Conventional Reel is built for anglers who demand serious power, durability, and smooth performance when targeting big fish. Designed for heavy freshwater applications, this reel combines a rugged metal frame with precision components to deliver strength and reliability under extreme pressure.

A chrome-plated brass frame and hard-anodized aluminum sideplates provide a rigid, corrosion-resistant platform, while the large aluminum spool with line marker helps manage line efficiently. The Carbon-X drag system delivers up to 18 lb of smooth stopping power, giving anglers the control needed to handle aggressive fish.

Internally, the Xalt 6550 features brass center and idler gears for long-lasting durability and torque. A silent double-dog anti-reverse system ensures solid hooksets with zero back play, and the precision-machined stainless steel worm shaft provides smooth, consistent level-wind operation.

An oversized dual-position power handle with counterweight enhances leverage and cranking power, while the highly audible bait clicker makes it easy to detect strikes in any environment.

Perfect for catfish, heavy freshwater fishing, river systems, trolling, and anglers targeting large fish with heavy tackle.
