Core features that translate to real-use benefits

• 10 stainless steel ball bearings plus Instant Anti-Reverse provide smooth retrieves and reliable freespool, reducing hesitation during casts and retrieves.
• Sealed oil-felt front drag offers up to 14 lb (6.4 kg) of drag, helping you control surprising runs and maintain line tension when a fish bends the rod.
• Slow oscillation gearing and Total Line Control minimize twists and wind knots, while a 5.2:1 gear ratio keeps your cadence steady across varying conditions.

The aluminum spool is braid-ready, so you can use braid, fluorocarbon, or monofilament lines depending on the day’s target. The handle is aluminum and paired with a soft-touch knob, designed for comfort whether you fish right- or left-handed, reducing fatigue over longer sessions.
