Ardent Apex Grand Baitcast Reel
Anglers looking for a performance edge will find it in the Ardent Apex Grand Baitcast Reel.

The combination of Ardent's deep V6061 T6 machined aluminum spool, internally adjustable centrifugal braking, and externally adjustable 270-degree Mag brake system gives you the ability to prevail even in the roughest weather. Extra-long, swept-back carbon fiber handle with EVA grips for maximum cranking power; swept-back forged aluminum drag star. Weight: 5.9 oz.

Poor QualityThe reel is very noisy. The quality just isn't there, it is very inconsistent. Performs worse than my equipment at half the price.

Leaves Alot To Be DesiredRather odd that there are so many reviews on this manufacturers reels within such a short time when they have been out for a while. Feels good in the hand, but the quality is lacking. The adjustable internal brakes are extremely flimsy and will fall out of the reel easily (as compared to many other high end reels I've used over the past 30 years). The reels are usually shipped dry with no oil or grease, so there is usually a good bit of work to get the reel to usable status once it arrives. There are much better options thus the reason they are BOGO at the expos.

Light, smooth, and comfortableAmazing braking combined with a light weight frame and an unbelievably comfort level put this right on the top of my list.
From big bass to huge pike, I've always felt this reel was capable of reeling in whatever I could get on the other end.
I've run the Grande with braid, mono, and flouro and it handles everything thing I spool up.
I highly recommend this reel for beginners to advanced anglers looking to upgrade.

Unbelievable QualityCompare this reel with others that are twice the price. Smooth retrieve and casting. Just blows the other higher dollar reels out of the water. Ardent reels make me a better fisherman.

Great ReelThe apex grand stands toe to toe with every other reel I've used. It has great strength and smoothness. The reel cast with ease great. Apply for applications where you want to really move a bait. Flipping, top waters, burning any bait is perfect with this reel. The gear ratios allow you to pick up plenty of line with every turn. It's a great product.
