GT Slotted Rotor

This Lightweight Slotted Rotor is one of the most significant performance upgrades you can make to your Abu Cardinal 3 or Cardinal 33, delivering a dramatic reduction in weight compared to the original factory rotor.

Crafted from durable yet lightweight aluminum, this aftermarket rotor features a precision-slotted design that removes unnecessary material while maintaining a strong, functional construction. Weighing an incredibly light 2.3g, it offers substantial weight savings, making it an excellent choice for anglers looking to build a lighter, more refined Cardinal.

Reducing rotor weight also reduces rotating mass, helping create a more responsive feel during retrieval. Whether you’re upgrading a stock Cardinal or building a fully customized performance reel, the Slotted Rotor is one of the most impactful upgrades you can install.
