Gomexus Reel Stand R40 KAGE | Ultra-light reel stand 2 g

The Gomexus Reel Stand R40 KAGE is a reel stand for anyone who wants to protect their spinning reel without feeling extra weight on the Reel. It weighs just approx. 2 g, barely more than the original cover cap, yet its 40 mm length keeps the spool edge and bail off the ground.

Materials and construction

The R40 is CNC-machined from a single piece of aluminum and hollowed out until only around 2 g remains. Its surface is double-anodized to withstand saltwater and prevent the color from fading.

• Length: 40 mm
• Weight: approx. 2 g
• Material: aluminum, CNC-machined from a single piece, double-anodized
• Installation: screws in place of the cover cap opposite the handle
• Included: 1 x Reel Stand R40, 2 x waterproof O-rings

Use

When you set your rod down on a pier, riprap, or in a boat, the Reel rests on the R40 rather than on the spool edge. This keeps the Spool, bail, and body free of scratches, sand, and dirt. The stand also has a hook keeper: attach your lure to the eyelet at the front or to one of the side cutouts, then walk safely to your next spot.

Important: O-ring: Always place the O-ring on the outside of the Reel Stand’s thread, then screw it in. Never put it directly into the reel body, as it could rub against the gears or bearings.

Recommended uses

Ideal for lightweight spinning reels when targeting perch or trout, for ultralight fishing, shore spinning, and eging. It performs best on Reel in sizes 1000 to 2500, but according to Gomexus, it also fits many Reel up to size 5000.
