SoloKing ACURA HICC-50 Pro BFS Baitcasting Reel 7.1:1/8.1:1 10+1BB 4Kg Max Drag
Availability: In stock
SPECIFICATIONS
Elevate your bait-casting game with this compact, lightweight yet high-performance reel designed for finesse techniques and ultra-light lure work from SoloKing (Doviello).
Key Features & Specifications
-
Ultralight design at approx. 136g — ideal for long days on the water without fatiguing your wrist or forearm.
-
Two gear ratios available: 7.1:1 or 8.1:1 — offering faster retrieve speeds for efficient lure recovery.
-
High-quality ball bearing system: 10 + 1 or 11 + 1 shielded stainless steel bearings (depending on version) for smooth operation.
-
Max drag: 4 kg (8.8 lb) — strong enough for many light-to-medium species while keeping the reel light and compact.
-
Frame & gears: Carbon body combined with an aluminum main gear (imported from Germany in some descriptions) — built for durability and corrosion resistance
-
BFS (Bait Finesse System) shallow spool option — supports very light lures (1 g–15 g) and lines (e.g., 8–25 lb) for finesse applications.
Why It Stands Out
-
The ultralight weight and finesse-friendly spool system make this reel an excellent choice for anglers targeting smaller fish with light lures — whether bass, trout or inshore species.
-
Despite its light build, the Acura HICC-50 Pro doesn’t skimp on quality: smooth bearings, solid drag, and a well-machined gear train help deliver a premium feel.
-
It offers strong value: for those looking to get into BFS or light bait-casting without spending top-tier dollars, it hits a sweet spot. One reviewer notes:
“The Doviello Soloking Acura HICC-50 … makes a fascinating comparison … for the very best budget-friendly BFS reel package you can buy right now.”
Ideal Uses
-
Light-line, light-lure situations where casting finesse, feel and control matter more than brute force — think micro jigs, light plastics, finesse swimbaits.
-
Freshwater species such as bass, trout, carp and catfish — and with the upgraded saltwater bearings, suitable in lighter saltwater setups.
-
Anglers who prefer a lightweight setup and want to reduce fatigue during long casts or repeated presentations.
Usage & Setup Tips
-
Because of the shallow spool and finesse focus, start with moderate backing and ensure the spool is properly balanced for the light lure weight you’re using.
-
Familiarize yourself with the magnetic/centrifugal brake system (depending on version) to dial in casting control and prevent backlash, especially when working ultra-light lures.
-
After saltwater use, rinse and dry the reel thoroughly — despite the improved corrosion resistance, lightweight reels benefit greatly from proper maintenance.
Summary
If you’re chasing finesse, light-line performance and value in a baitcasting reel, the SOLOKING Acura HICC-50 Pro offers an appealing package. With its ultralight build, smooth bearings, and innovative spool options, it provides serious performance for anglers who cast small and chase detail.
