This right-hand retrieve model pairs a 7.5:1 gear ratio with a modern SLIDE magnetic cast control system, letting you fine-tune your casts without changing grip. Whether you’re threading a jig through wind gusts or probing tight cover, the Z SLIDE is designed to help you maintain control and consistency from first lure to last splash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of this reel is a blend of advanced materials and precision engineering. The SLIDE system uses a magnetic braking approach that integrates smoothly with the Low-Friction Centrifugal braking, giving you the option to blend or isolate braking forces for a more responsive cast. The result is a more predictable release, helping you place lures with confidence in a variety of conditions. The cast feels solid and immediate, while the braking remains progressive and controllable as you miss fewer casts and cover more water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRugged, corrosion-resistant build for tough days on the water\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Concept Z SLIDE uses Zero Corrosion CZB bearings and an Advanced Polymer drag, all housed inside a rock-solid Cast Iron Carbon frame and side plates.
