A simple turn of the handle instantly engages the main drag, providing immediate and precise control over your catch.
• Propulsion Line Management System: Engineered with a specially designed spool lip, this system facilitates longer, more accurate casts and effectively minimises the occurrence of backlashes and wind knots, ensuring smooth line flow.
• Varispeed Oscillation: Ensures a consistent and even line lay on the spool, which is critical for optimal casting distance and managing various line types, including braided lines, without tangles.
• Fluidrive II Gearing: Provides enhanced efficiency and smoothness during the retrieve, delivering more power and reducing friction, especially when under load from a fighting fish, for a consistently smooth operation.
• Cold Forged Aluminium Spool: Constructed for superior strength and enduring durability, this spool is designed to withstand the demanding conditions of saltwater environments, ensuring long-term performance.
• Super Stopper II: Features a one-way roller bearing that eliminates any back-play in the reel, ensuring instant hook-setting power and solid retrieves, giving you immediate control.
• Dyna-Balance: Counterbalances the rotor to eliminate wobble during the retrieve, resulting in increased sensitivity to subtle bites and a consistently smoother reeling experience, enhancing your feel for the fish.
• Easy Access Oil Maintenance Port: Simplifies routine lubrication and upkeep, extending the reel's lifespan and maintaining its consistent, high-level performance with minimal effort.
• Fibreglass-Integrated Blank Rod with Solid Glass Tip: The 7-foot Aquatip rod is crafted to expertly balance the raw strength needed to subdue powerful fish with the refined sensitivity required for detecting even the lightest bites, offering a versatile fishing experience.
• Zirconia/Ceramic Guides: These guides provide a smooth, friction-free path for your line, ensuring tangle-free casting and optimal line flow with various fishing lines, enhancing casting distance and accuracy.
• Full-Length EVA Grips: Offer superior comfort and a secure, non-slip hold, even when wet, enhancing control and reducing fatigue during extended fishing sessions, allowing you to fish longer.
