REV Products Cardinal Rocket Bail

The REV Products Cardinal Rocket Bail is a performance-focused upgrade designed to reduce weight and improve the line-handling system of the classic Abu Cardinal 3 platform.

Replacing the original bail assembly with the Rocket Bail provides a lighter, more refined setup while upgrading one of the most important areas of the reel. The assembly is equipped with two bearings, helping the line roller operate more smoothly as line travels onto and off the spool.

The reduced weight complements other lightweight Cardinal upgrades, while the improved bail and line roller assembly helps create a smoother, more modern feel without taking away from the character of the original reel.

For anglers building a performance-oriented Cardinal, the Rocket Bail is an excellent upgrade to pair with lightweight spools, handles, and other REV Products components.
