Why this reel stands out
- Hi‑speed 6.1:1 gearing delivers rapid line retrieval, pulling 93 cm of line with every full turn of the handle—perfect for lifting heavy jigs quickly and staying in the strike zone.
- Powerful main gear and pinion crafted from tempered brass alloy for lasting torque and dependable performance under heavy loads.
- 8 sealed stainless RRB bearings shielded on both sides with rust‑resistant coating ensure silky smooth cranking, even in tough marine conditions. A one‑way anti‑reverse roller bearing guarantees instant, rock‑solid hookups.
- Carbon drag system with a 15 kg maximum setting provides smooth, controllable stopping power for big trophies, while high‑heat resistant carbon washers maintain performance under pressure.
- Magnetic cast control reduces overruns during long casts, helping you reach prime structure with precision and minimal bird’s nests.
- Thumb bar spool release for effortless casting; spool re-engages with a quick turn of the handle, enabling quick, confident casts from the moment you load up.
- Audible line alarm—a clear, loud clicker that wakes you to every bite, even when you’re focused on the next cast.
- One‑piece CNC‑machined forged aluminum frame—rigid, durable, and built to endure years of hard use in saltwater environments.
- Corrosion‑resistant spool and waterproof drag knob protect performance across seasons and seas, while a counter‑balanced EVA‑covered aluminum handle keeps the reel upright and comfortable during long sessions. Specifications at a glance
