Overview
The Cajun AFR1450 is a one piece reel built from aluminum, stainless steel and polymer, weighing 1.18 pounds, sold in a black and red finish and listed for bowfishing use.
The listing calls this a spinning reel but tags its technique as bowfishing, which points to a reel built for a bow mounted rig rather than a standard casting rod setup. Cajun is known primarily for bowfishing hardware, and the mixed aluminum, stainless steel and polymer build fits gear meant to handle heavy line and take abuse from bigger fish rather than a finesse freshwater reel.
- 1.18 pound reel weight
- Aluminum, stainless steel and polymer build
- Black/red color
- Sold as a single unit
Who it's for
Bowfishing anglers assembling or replacing a reel on their rig. Not the pick for someone wanting a conventional spinning reel with a disclosed gear ratio and line capacity, since neither is listed here.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Mixed metal and polymer construction
- Built for bowfishing rigs
- Gear ratio and line capacity not listed
- Heavier than a typical spinning reel
Performance notes
No gear ratio, bearing count or line capacity is listed, so retrieve speed and smoothness aren't something the spec sheet can confirm. What is known is the mixed aluminum, stainless steel and polymer build and the 1.18 pound weight, which sits on the heavier side for a rod mounted reel but is in line with hardware built to handle heavy bowfishing line.
