Key Product Features

Smooth Performance: Equipped with a 2 ball bearing + 1 roller bearing system for smooth retrieves, including an instant anti-reverse feature.
Ultra-Lightweight: The body and rotor are constructed from lightweight graphite, keeping the reel weight low at only $158 g$ , which is perfect for delicate finesse fishing.
Durable Spool: Features a machined aluminum spool for strength without adding unnecessary bulk.
Excellent Line Lay: Utilizes a Slow Oscillation system (sometimes called Stealth Oscillation) to ensure the line is layered evenly on the spool, minimizing wind knots and improving casting performance with light lines.
Versatility: Ideal for light freshwater spinning applications like trout fishing, LRF, and dropshotting, and is often described as a compact reel suitable for lighter work in both fresh and light sea water.
