The reel emphasizes drag strength and line control, letting you respond quickly to bites while maintaining steady pressure on heavy targets.

This capacity supports long, controlled retrieves when chasing large kihadas, pephi, and other formidable species across offshore waters. A maximum drag of 46.6 lbs (13 kg) gives you a robust stop that helps balance power with finesse.

Built for durability and all-day comfort

Durability includes protective anode coating to resist corrosion in salt environments, helping the reel endure boat spray and long seasons at sea. The ergonomic frame lets anglers hold the reel with less effort, while the large knob improves leverage when winding through long runs or heavy line.

• Ergonomic thumb-hold frame reduces fatigue during extended sessions
