Abu Garcia Beast 300 Low Profile Reel (Left Hand): The Predator’s Powerhouse
When you’re hunting “monsters”—whether that’s double-figure Pike, heavy-duty Muskie, or hard-fighting saltwater predators—you need a reel that bridges the gap between a bulky round multiplier and a nimble low-profile baitcaster. Here at Gerry’s Fishing, we believe the Abu Garcia Beast 300 Low Profile is that perfect hybrid. It packs the winching power of a tank into an ergonomic, a-symmetric body that fits comfortably in the palm of your hand.
Designed specifically for heavy-duty applications like throwing large A-Rigs and swimbaits up to 8 inches, the Beast 300 is built on an X2-Cräftic™ aluminum frame. This provides the absolute rigidity needed to keep the Oversized Brass Duragear Gen III system perfectly aligned, even when you’re under extreme pressure from a trophy fish. This specific Left Hand model allows right-handed casters to keep the rod in their dominant hand and move straight to the retrieve without switching.
Stop Anything in its Tracks
The heart of this reel is the Power Stack Carbon Matrix™ Drag System. Delivering a massive 13.6kg (30lbs) of stopping power, it is one of the strongest in its class. Coupled with an audible drag clicker, you’ll have the feedback and force necessary to control powerful runs in thick cover. The Infini™ Brake System (combining magnetic and centrifugal technology) ensures that even your heaviest, most wind-resistant lures fly true without the dreaded “bird’s nest” backlash.
Where to Use
-
Big Bait Pike Fishing: Effortlessly handle oversized swimbaits, jerkbaits, and heavy lures that would strain a standard-sized baitcaster.
-
Saltwater Predator Work: Fully rated for “all water” applications, it is a formidable tool for Bass and Pollack when using heavy soft plastics or jigs.
-
Heavy Cover Extraction: The 5.8:1 gear ratio is tuned for raw “cranking power,” allowing you to winch big fish out of lilies, reeds, and snaggy structures.
-
Specimen Hunting: Perfect for any situation where high line capacity and extreme drag pressure are non-negotiable.

Gerry’s Top Tip: The Beast 300 features the GullWing™ sideplate design. This allows you to quickly flip open the side of the reel for easy access to the centrifugal brakes or to add a drop of oil to the spool bearings without worrying about the sideplate falling off and sinking into the water. It’s a small detail that makes a huge difference for on-the-bank maintenance
