Gomexus R1 Forged Carbon Reel Stand

The Gomexus R1 Reel Stand is an ultra-lightweight protective foot for high-quality spinning reels in the light-game sector. Weighing just 3 grams and measuring 41.5 mm in length, it complements slim UL and finesse reels without altering the balance of the combo. When setting the rod down, the reel housing no longer touches the ground; instead, the sturdy stand does, preventing scratches on rocks, in the boat, or on the rod holder.

Construction and Material

The R1 combines two premium materials: a visible forged carbon head with its distinctive marble pattern and a highly precise CNC aluminum base that is anodized for permanent corrosion protection. Forged carbon is not made by simple weaving but by pressing carbon fibers under high pressure and heat into shape. The result is noticeably stiffer, lighter, and visually much more premium than classic woven carbon.

• Forged carbon head with a unique marble pattern, each piece is one of a kind
• CNC aluminum base, anodized for lasting corrosion resistance
• Only 3 g weight, one of the lightest reel stands on the market
• 41.5 mm length, compact and suitable for light-game setups
• Screw mounting, fits common spinning reels with standard threads
• Suitable for both left- and right-handed reels
• O-ring included to protect against moisture ingress

Application Area

The R1 is specifically designed for light game and finesse spinning, where every gram counts:

• Trout fishing at trout lakes and in the area trout sector
• Perch UL, drop-shot, and micro jigging
• Street fishing and micro spinning for young pike, asp, or chub
• Light saltwater spinning for aji, mebaru, and bream finesse

Function

The reel stand screws directly into the base of your reel, replacing the factory cover cap. When you set the combo down, the carbon stand sits between the reel and the ground, leaving the housing untouched. This reliably prevents scratches on the reel body, screw base, and bail arm. Those who spend a lot of time on boats, rocky shores, or in rod holders will notice the difference after just a few trips.

Good to Know

At just 3 grams, the R1 is practically unnoticeable even on a 1000-size light-game reel, maintaining the combo’s balance. The forged carbon pattern is unique on every stand, with no two pieces alike. For those who want to visually enhance their premium reel, the R1 offers one of the most elegant reel stands on the market without compromising function or weight.
