Designed for versatile casting, it balances a slim profile with a robust internal framework, making it a dependable choice for anglers who value responsiveness on the water.

Lightweight performance with serious power

Powered by the LT concept and the MQ body, this reel stays noticeably lighter in hand while offering enhanced strength.
