Preston Innovations Inception 520 Reel

The Preston Innovations Inception 520 Reel is purpose-built to deliver maximum casting distance, power, and efficiency without breaking the bank. As the largest model in the popular Inception range, the 520 is specifically tailored for long-distance feeder work between 60m and 80m on both commercial carp fisheries and large natural venues.

Housed in a durable, impact-resistant graphite body, this lightweight reel features a smooth and reliable gearing system that handles heavy feeder retrieval and hard-fighting fish with ease. The wide-diameter, precision-machined aluminium spool features an optimized capacity that promotes effortless line release off the lip during long-range casts. Combined with a micro-adjustable front drag system for instant, fine-tuned control under load and a robust metal line clip for pinpoint accuracy, the 520 offers unbeatable performance for budget-conscious match and pleasure anglers alike.

Pro Tip

Pair the Inception 520 with an 11ft, 12ft, or 13ft distance feeder rod and load the wide spool with a low-stretch 0.10mm or 0.12mm braid backed with a mono shockleader. The wide lip diameter reduces line friction significantly as line peels off the spool, helping you punch heavy cage or Method feeders out to that 70m mark effortlessly.

Natural Venue Bream & Skimmer Tactics: Built to manage big casts on large natural reservoirs, lakes, and wide rivers when targeting bream at range.
Heavy Feeder Retrieval: Offers the internal gearing power needed to crank large, heavy feeders back repeatedly without putting strain on the drive system.
