GF Casting
GF Casting
Every ounce of the GF Series was designed with the serious baitcast angler in mind. Starting with a precision machined brass drive-train that’s supported by a five stainless steel bearing system. Its low-profile, one-piece frame fits perfectly in your hand and the micro-adjustable magnetic cast control is easy to tune for any fishing condition. With a choice of three gear ratios in both right- and left-hand retrieves, there's a GF model that's right for just about any lure presentation.

• Custom designed carbon fiber handle with EVA grips
• Multi-stack carbon fiber drag / stainless steel drag system
• Micro-adjustable magnetic cast control
• Precision hobbed hard brass pinion and drive gear
• Line memo indicator dial
I would bet there is no better reel on the market at this price point.
This review has nothing to do with the reels they are great I have several gs models and ordered 2 gf models 9 business days ago and they have yet to ship out. I called Friday (7 business days after purchase) and they couldn’t pull up my order number said it wasn’t in their system that it takes things 8-10 days to ship out. I’m sure I’ll get them at some point just wish they would have been more up front on their shipping times. Thought I was doing them a favor by ordering direct from SeVIIn save your time and order from tackle warehouse.
My first bait casting reel. It’s a gem.
This is the smoothest reel I’ve ever used. Will be using it for pike.
The reel is smooth, it can cast a mile and it fits great in my hand. Now I wanna point out my favorite part is I’ve never had any backlash so far and I use it literally everyday of the week. I run 12lb fluorocarbon in it and can cast the lightest lures I own. I have some high end lews reels and I would choose this reel before them. Absolutely love it, I’ll be buying more.
PRECISION-MACHINED DRIVETRAIN
GF reels are built for harsh conditions with CNC-machined, hard-brass gearing supported by precision stainless steel ball bearings. A stainless steel spool shaft supports the forged aluminum spool, enabling the use of braided line in the heaviest cover.
CARBON-FIBER DRAG
The friction washers in the GF drag are made from woven carbon fiber, which is virtually impervious to wear. The carbon washers are mated to stainless steel washers providing drag lockdown up to 19 lbs while remaining silky-smooth.
CARBON-FIBER HANDLE
The ultra-light, one-piece, carbon-fiber handle provides extreme strength under even the heaviest cranking conditions. Its sleek, swept design puts the handle knobs closer to the reel's center line, resulting in less side torque under load.
LINE MEMO
With the unique line memo dial you'll never have to guess what size line to run. Just pick your line, set the dial, and always keep tabs on line sizes as you rig your rod/reel setups for different techniques.
