Weathered-seal reliability in rough seas

• Instant anti-reverse for precise, dependable retrieves.
• Hydro Armor seals guard critical areas where saltwater exposure is highest.

Powerful drag for controlled fights

The HT-100 carbon-fiber drag washers deliver a strong, progressive feel with less wear over long sessions. A maximum drag of 15 lb (6.8 kg) gives you the authority to handle sizable saltwater species while maintaining control and sensitivity through the hooksets and pulls.

• HT-100 carbon fiber drag provides consistent performance under heavy loads.
• Drag systems are designed to balance smoothness with stopping power for clean, controlled fights.
