Key Features and Technologies

 

  • Front Drag System: Features a superb multi-disc front drag that is smooth, precise, and easily adjustable, offering confidence when battling hard-fighting fish.
  • XT-7 Body: Constructed from Shimano’s XT-7 composite material, providing a good balance of lightness and strength for comfortable, extended use.
  • AR-C Spool: A cold-forged aluminum spool with a unique angled lip design. This technology allows the line to leave the spool with less friction and in smaller coils, leading to longer, more accurate casting and minimizing the risk of tangles or wind knots.
  • Varispeed Oscillation: Ensures excellent, consistent line lay on the spool, which is crucial for maximizing casting efficiency, whether you are using monofilament or braided lines.
  • Power Roller: Reduces line twist, especially when retrieving line under load or using fine diameter lines.
  • High-Quality Bearings: The 3 shielded stainless steel ball bearings, combined with the roller bearing, contribute to a smooth rotation and overall operation, enhancing the reeling experience.
