Lo-Mass Drilled Spool System reduces the weight of the spool by drilling, and lowers start-up inertia for more manageable casts.
Super Free (SF) bearing supported pinion gear system eliminates friction between the pinion gear and spool shaft for increased freespool.
High Efficiency Gearing (HEG) is not only the oversized gears, but also includes the setplate, which allow for a high speed retrieve while providing unbelievable fish-moving torque.
Variable Brake System (VBS) uses centrifugal force rather than magnets to aid in controlling the cast for increased distance and adjustability.
Super Stopper is a one-way roller bearing that eliminates backplay for solid hooksets.
Assist Stopper is a back-up anti-reverse system that reduces the stress placed on the one-way roller bearing to increase durability.
1/4 Turn Easy Access Sideplate this flip up turn key design requires only 1/4 of a turn to remove the sideplate for VBS brake weight adjustments.
Reduced Mass VBS hub reduces the weight of the spool increasing freespool and reducing start up inertia.
Drilled Handle Shank reduces the weight of the reel.
Dartainium Drag material provides a wide range of drag settings and the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.
Aluminum Frame for tight tolerances and unflexing durability.
Recessed Reel Foot allows the reel to sit closer to the rod for comfort and maneuverability.
Clicking Drag Adjustment reduces the chance of the drag backing off at light settings while providing the angler a reference point to how much drag they add or reduce by turning the star.
Metal Series Metal frames keep moving parts in precise alignment for increased efficiency and durability.
