Built around a rigid aluminum frame, the VLD 10 provides excellent strength and stability while maintaining a lightweight, ergonomic profile that fits comfortably in the palm. The compact design reduces fatigue during long days on the water, allowing anglers to make hundreds of casts without sacrificing comfort or control.

The reel features a precision magnetic braking system that offers easy external adjustments for fine-tuning spool performance. Whether casting lightweight finesse lures or heavier power baits, the braking system helps minimize backlash while maximizing casting distance and accuracy. The lightweight, precision-machined aluminum spool starts quickly and spins efficiently, providing smooth line flow and improved casting performance.

At the heart of the VLD 10 is a set of precision-cut brass gears that deliver smooth, reliable power transfer under load. Combined with a high-quality bearing system, the reel offers effortless retrieves, quiet operation, and excellent long-term durability. The smooth drivetrain provides the torque needed for techniques that require consistent cranking power while maintaining a refined feel throughout the retrieve.

A powerful carbon fiber drag system supplies smooth and consistent pressure to control hard-fighting fish around docks, timber, vegetation, and other heavy cover. The drag engages smoothly without hesitation, giving anglers the confidence to fish heavier lines and set the hook aggressively when targeting trophy bass and other freshwater predators.

Designed for versatility, the Fitzgerald VLD 10 is available in gear ratios suitable for a broad range of fishing styles. It excels with techniques such as:

Flipping and pitching
Texas and Carolina rigs
Jigs
Spinnerbaits
Chatterbaits
Crankbaits

Topwater lures
Buzzbaits
Frogs
Swimbaits
Soft plastic presentations

The ergonomic handle with comfortable grip knobs provides excellent leverage and precise control during retrieves, while the compact frame enhances overall balance when paired with modern graphite casting rods. This combination allows anglers to fish comfortably throughout long practice days, weekend tournaments, or recreational outings.

Ideal for freshwater applications, the Fitzgerald VLD 10 is well suited for targeting largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, spotted bass, pike, walleye, snakehead, and other medium-sized freshwater game fish. Its lightweight design, dependable braking system, smooth gearing, and powerful drag make it a versatile choice for anglers seeking high-performance baitcasting equipment.

Whether you’re making long casts across open water, pitching jigs into heavy cover, skipping docks with pinpoint accuracy, or working reaction baits through submerged structure, the Fitzgerald VLD 10 Casting Reel delivers the smoothness, precision, and durability needed to fish with confidence and maximize success on every trip.
