01FISHING TACKLE
Smooth retrieve for the saltwater angler
The Ryobi Virtus 1000 sits quietly in your tackle box, ready for the next trip to the water. Its composite body feels solid yet light, promising reliability without adding unnecessary bulk to your rod.
This spinning reel is built for anglers who value consistent performance and durability. The multi-disc front drag and computer balanced rotor work together to deliver a controlled, vibration-free cast, whether you are targeting small fish or fighting a larger catch.
02MATERIALS
Composite shell meets aluminium core
The reel features a composite body and rotor, providing a robust frame that withstands daily handling. Inside, an aluminium main spool offers the necessary strength to hold line securely while keeping overall weight low. This combination ensures the reel remains responsive in your hand, even after extended periods of use on the deck.
DETAILS
Durable components for lasting service
The roller is coated with titanium nitride, a treatment that enhances durability against wear and corrosion. An ergonomic handle with a comfortable knob provides a secure grip, while its foldable design allows it to tuck neatly against the side of the reel when not in use. These practical touches make the Virtus 1000 a dependable companion for both casual outings and dedicated sessions.
