Matching a casting reel to the presentation starts with control over the cast, retrieve, and fish. The Kistler PRC Casting Fishing Reel combines a 5.9-ounce design with Kistler's PRC centrifugal braking system, three available gear ratios, and up to 25 pounds of carbon-fiber drag in a compact 100-size platform.

The three gear-ratio choices let anglers match the PRC to different retrieve demands instead of forcing one speed across every presentation. The 6.6:1 model retrieves 26 inches per turn, the 7.3:1 retrieves 29 inches, and the 8.1:1 retrieves 32 inches, giving you a practical progression from more measured retrieves to faster line pickup.
Choose the retrieve side and gear ratio that fit your casting setup, then put the PRC's centrifugal braking, lightweight frame, and 25-pound maximum drag to work across your baitcasting rotation.
The PRC comes in 6.6:1, 7.3:1, and 8.1:1 ratios, retrieving approximately 26, 29, and 32 inches of line per turn respectively. Choose based on how quickly you want to move the presentation or recover line.
Yes. Kistler offers the PRC in both right- and left-hand retrieve configurations.
The PRC uses Kistler's centrifugal braking system. It is a non-digital system designed to let the angler dial in casting control.
Kistler specifies a line capacity of 120 yards of 15-pound fluorocarbon for the PRC's deep spool.
Kistler lists a six-month maintenance schedule for the PRC. The reel's bearings are pre-oiled.
