This high-powered reel doesn't rely on speed for power, its oversized main gear and long-lasting Duragear™ brass gears provide "winching" power for hauling hard-fighting, heavyweight bass out of dense vegetation and deep-cranking large crankbaits. Its 5.4:1 gear ratio increases power at slow speeds for working large crank baits, and flipping or pitching plastics and jigs in heavy vegetation. Conversely, winching power decreases with high-speed cranking for faster retrieves. Always smooth performance from 10+1 stainless steel HPCR® ball bearings. Lightweight and corrosion-resistant X-Craftic™ alloy frame. Heat-tolerant Carbon Matrix™ drag. Six-pin centrifugal brake for expert line control in high winds and for more casting distance with lightweight baits. Left-hand model available.
