A New Era of Control: The Ultimate Hybrid Drag System.
At Gerry’s, we’ve seen plenty of reels, but the Prologic Element BF range introduces a genuine industry first. This reel combines a Quick Drag and the legendary Bite & Fight (Freespool) function in one seamless unit. This means you have total versatility: use it as a classic freespool reel for traditional carp tactics, or run a completely open drag that transitions to “fighting mode” with just one quick turn of the knob.
Built for the angler who demands premium performance without the eye-watering price tag, the Element 5000 is packed with Prologic’s proprietary tech.3 From the Dura Grease—which maintains smooth operation in temperatures from -30°C to 160°C—to the 9+1 steel ball bearings, this reel is engineered to handle the “pressure cooker” moments of specimen angling.
Dual-Drag Hybrid: Features the “Bite & Fight” freespool system alongside a lightning-fast Quick Drag for total control during the take and the fight.
Dura Grease Protection: Unlike standard lubricants, our proprietary Dura Grease protects against corrosion and wear, ensuring the gears stay silky smooth for years.
Fixed Gear Construction: Offers a more rigid internal structure, reducing “gear-shift” under heavy load when you’re cranking in a big fish or heavy lead.
9+1 Steel Ball Bearings: Includes 3+1 stainless bearings in critical areas, providing effortless rotation and high-performance longevity.
Knurled Spool: Designed to prevent braided lines from slipping on the spool, making it an excellent choice for both mono and modern super-lines.

1. The “Small Water” Specialist:
The 5000 size is the perfect partner for 10ft or 11ft stalking and “utility” rods. It balances perfectly on shorter blanks while providing enough cranking power to extract fish from snaggy margins.
2. Specimen Tench & Bream:
While it’s a carp reel by design, the ultra-fine adjustment of the Bite & Fight system makes it a superb choice for specialist anglers targeting tench or big bream on the feeder.
3. Roving for Barbel:
On the river, the “Bite & Fight” function is a lifesaver. It allows the barbel to take line on that initial violent surge, while the Quick Drag allows you to lock down and exert pressure instantly.
4. The Modern “Compact” Setup:
If you prefer a lightweight, mobile setup over heavy “Big Pit” reels, the Element 5000 offers the tech of a high-end reel in a much more manageable and portable frame.
Gerry’s Tip: The knurled spool is a fantastic feature. If you are using braid, you don’t need to waste time with backing tape to stop the ‘spinning’ effect on the spool—the knurled surface grips the line perfectly from the first turn
