Asender 500

Hi purchased a 500 ascended nice quality using for a jigging, yoyo reel
So far so good. Thanks joe San diego

Little Winch

After spending a full season catching Blackfish with the new Ascender, I can say that it is an excellent bottom fishing reel. The gear is low enough that it handles heavy weight and big baits with ease, as well as the cranking power to move a big Tog your way. And that drag…it’s got insane stopping power, it also has smooth start up inertia that doesn’t jerk when the tight drag does start to let it slip….ive a got a few over ten pounds with it so far…nothing really big but I know that this little winch has what it takes…IN SPADES!!

Affordable & Powerful

I have the accurate ascender 400 so far this reel has done nothing but give the absolute best fishing experience. Enough drag to stop a 30lb yellowtail in Baja California.Star drag system is very quick & easy to use when fighting a 36lb thresher shark from the pier. The cast ability is amazing. Best affordable reel on the market! Thank you accurate!

Ascender 500N

Paired this reel with a 9ft Californian 15-40, spooled on 50 lb braid with 25 lb seaguar gold and took it out on a day trip off shore, caught 14 YFT and one dorado. I was impressed with how this lil workhorse handled, I will be purchasing a 600N very soon.

Balanced

Perfect combination of precision and balance in a reel that fits well in hand. Plenty of line capacity with looks that are 21st century!

Was exactly as ordered. Very smooth drag, long casting without tangles and and light weight. On this last trip I caught Tuna, Dorado and Wahoo on this reel. Very happy with the reel.

Great reel but ….

The 500 I ordered is an incredible reel. Only complaint is the line specs are way off.

10/10 Casting Exp

Bought my Ascender 500 for casting surface irons and so far really happy with my purchase. My friends are looking to add as well, thanks!

want left hand retrieve!!

What about us left handers?

Great purchase

I got a 400 last winter and have had the opportunity to fish it on two long range trips for yellowtail and then just took it salmon fishing a couple of weeks ago.
Great price point, smooth drag, and great aesthetics. The only issue is the clicker was really quiet fishing salmon. It fished well just did not make a lot of noise when hooked up.

Man o man

The Asender is just a smooth as any $900 reel. The Asender 300 marched with a Stripx rod. Is a combo ready for any land locked striped bass on Smith Mountain lake!!

Great little workhorse

I was very pleased with the quality and workmanship of the new Ascender line, which is a little friendlier on the price. This reel is great for inshore and light offshore applications and looks sharp in the matte black. I love my Tern 2, but will get plenty of use out of this one, too.
