The Favorite U1 is a casting reel designed for jig fishing and fishing with large minnow-style lures. Its magnetic drag system is adjustable from the outside. The fighting drag features a beeper mechanism that provides audible feedback when the fish takes line.
The U1 is designed for medium-to-heavy casting. The external magnetic adjustment controls the spool’s rotation during the cast and allows you to adjust the drag to match the lure being used.
The fighting drag serves a different purpose: it releases line under tension during the fight. Its audible mechanism makes these releases noticeable without interfering with the magnetic casting adjustment.
The reel’s handle direction, line retrieval per turn, and spool capacity are the key specifications to compare when matching the selected model to your fishing setup.
