Key Features and Benefits:
Zinc Diecast Gears: The reel incorporates robust and durable zinc diecast gears. Reliable under pressure, these gears ensure a smooth, consistent experience when you're out in the water.
Cold Forged Alu AR-C Spool & Spare AR-C Spool: Renowned for its resilience, the cold-forged aluminium AR-C spool enhances line release during casting. Additionally, the reel is accompanied by a spare AR-C spool, ensuring you're prepared for varying fishing conditions.
Baitrunner System: A system favoured by many, the Baitrunner allows for free line flow under a controlled setting, ensuring better catch rates and avoiding sudden snap-offs.
XT-7 Body and Rotor Material: Manufactured using Shimano’s trademarked XT-7 composite material, the main body and rotor benefit from enhanced rigidity and reduced weight, ensuring longevity and dependable performance.
Varispeed II Line Lay: The Varispeed II system guarantees a more even line lay, which in turn aids in achieving better casting distances and accuracy.
Maintenance Port (Body): Maintenance becomes less of a chore with the inclusion of a maintenance port, allowing for easier lubrication and ensuring that the reel remains in top working condition.
Super Stopper II: An anti-reverse feature that ensures instant hook setting capabilities, reducing chances of missed opportunities.
Dynabalance & Power-roller: Eliminate any wobble during the retrieve. The Dynabalance system effectively counters reel vibration, while the Power-roller reduces line twist, ensuring a smoother experience.
