Built on the legacy of CZB technology, it blends precision engineering with modern materials to deliver a smoother, more confident cast. The SLIDE magnetic cast control sits in the ideal spot for easy thumb adjustments, letting you bias the action for downwind or upwind conditions without sacrificing your next cast. By combining or isolating the braking options, you can fine tune the feel from light flicks to longer, steady flights of line. This is not a promise of performance, but a design that invites you to experiment and optimize your approach depending on the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePrecision and Control\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe new SLIDE system positions magnetic cast control where you can make quick thumb adjustments and shift between casting styles without missing a beat. Combine or isolate the low-friction centrifugal braking with magnetic SLIDE braking to tailor casting feel to the wind and water conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlide Magnetic Cast Control System\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCZB Bearing Technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHi-Tech Cast Iron Carbon Frame and Side Plate Construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTi-Armor Aluminum Hamai Cut Drive Gear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 lbs Advanced Polymer Drag System\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDurable, Responsible Build\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eZero Corrosion CZB Bearings and an Advanced Polymer drag reside inside a rock-solid Cast Iron Carbon frame and side plates.
