Svedala, Sweden – September 5, 2025 – Svivlo Draken ONE Earns Rave Review for Backlash-Free Performance
The Svivlo Draken ONE baitcasting reel has made waves in the angling community after a glowing review on Sports Illustrated’s fishing section. Reviewer Kurt Mazurek spent two full days on the water testing the Swedish-engineered reel and confirmed what many anglers have been hoping for: a truly backlash-free experience.

“No exaggeration—cast this reel as far as you can, take your thumb completely away from the reel, and no backlash,” Mazurek wrote after hundreds of casts without a single tangle.
Key Highlights from the Review
- Zero backlashes after two days of varied fishing conditions, including casting into the wind.
- Simple setup: Adjust spool tension once, then fish worry-free.
- Premium build: Carbon fiber frame, brass gears, aluminum handle with XL EVA knobs.
- Specs: 7.3:1 gear ratio, 15.4 lbs max drag, 9+2 bearings, weight 7.4 oz.
Mazurek concluded:
“Based on my experience, the specs of this reel, and the competitive price, I would recommend this to beginners and experienced anglers alike.”
