Revolutionary Live Spindle™ design significantly reduces friction during the extreme acceleration of the spool when casting. The free floating forged aluminum spool spins independently of the stainless steel spindle and pinion gear, increasing casting distance and improving retrieve as the spindle and pinion do not have to turn relative to one another under heavy loads. Instant anti-reverse bearing with silent back up ratchet. Versa-Drag system with HT-100™ washers. Machined and anodized aluminum body and sideplates.

• Ball Bearings: 7+1
• Drag: 25lb.
• Gear Ration: 5.0:1
