Match Your Retrieve Speed to the Way You Fish

Crankbaits, moving baits, Texas rigs, jigs, and pitching presentations do not all call for the same retrieve speed. The Denali Novus Casting Reel gives bass anglers 6.2:1, 7.3:1, and 8.1:1 right-hand models, making it easier to match the reel to the presentation while retaining the same dual-brake casting platform across the lineup.

Three Retrieve Speeds for Different Bass Fishing Applications

• ✅ Choose the 6.2:1 N100H for crankbaits, spinnerbaits, moving baits, and slower presentations where a controlled retrieve is useful
• ✅ Use the 7.3:1 N100HS as the all-around option for jigs, Texas rigs, spinnerbaits, and general casting applications
• ✅ Step up to the 8.1:1 N100XS for faster line pickup when flipping, pitching, fishing bottom-contact baits, or working faster presentations
• ✅ Dual Brake System lets you fine-tune casting control as lure weight, wind conditions, and casting style change
• ✅ Aluminum frame and high-strength brass drive gear provide a rigid foundation for everyday bass fishing
• ✅ Zirconia line guide and 95mm aluminum handle round out a casting platform with 13.2 lb maximum drag and a 7+1 bearing system

Real-World Performance

Build the reel around the presentation instead of forcing one retrieve speed into every role. The 6.2:1 model favors controlled moving-bait retrieves, the 7.3:1 covers versatile jig, Texas-rig, and general casting work, and the 8.1:1 prioritizes quick line pickup for flipping, pitching, and bottom-contact techniques where getting line back quickly matters.

Give Each Presentation the Right Retrieve

Choose the Novus ratio that fills the gap in your casting lineup, from controlled moving-bait work to versatile everyday casting or fast line pickup.
