- A-RB® Bearings
Stainless steel ball bearings that have been through the A-RB treatment process which makes them at least 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard stainless steel ball bearings. - Super Stopper®
Super Stopper uses a one-way, stainless steel roller bearing that eliminates backplay. This provides the angler with instant hooksetting power. - Assist Stopper®
This is a back up system to the Super Stopper that consists of the traditional pawl and ratchet. Should the Super Stopper roller bearing slip due to cold weather or over-lubrication, the Assist Stopper kicks in to provide a solid hookset the instant the roller bearing begins to slip. Most of the time the angler will not even know when this feature engages, because by quickly stopping the backwards rotation of the roller bearing, the Assist Stopper greatly reduces the chance of permanent damage to the Super Stopper, allowing it to continue to function as designed. - Dartainium® Drag
This drag material provides a wider range of drag settings, along with the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever. - High Efficiency Gearing (HEG®)
HEG consists of not only the gears, but also the frame, setplate, and handle-side sideplate. First we increased the size of the drive gear and the pinion gear to offer increased leverage and power. By using a one-piece frame that incorporates the setplate and adding a one-piece stamped sideplate, we have eliminated flex in the drivetrain that causes normal gears to bind under pressure. By eliminating the flex and increasing the leverage, we are able to provide high-speed retrieves and deliver an incredible amount of torque, while maintaining the smooth, silent retrieve Shimano® reels are famous for. - Oversized Cast Control Knob
Comfortable and easy to use. - Clicker
When engaged, the clicker increases the tension in freespool and activates a clicking alarm to alert you when a fish bites. - Oversized Clicker Button
The button is larger and makes it easier to turn on and off. - 3-Position Power Grip
This unique handle grip was designed with two goals in mind: comfort and function. The ergonomic contours of this handle not only allow the angler to grip the handle like a typical barrel for maximum torque, but also enable the user the utilize a two or three finger grip similar to one on a paddle grip to easily work topwater plugs or rapidly gain line. - Adjustable Handle Shank
For deep water situations or for anglers needing more leverage, the handle shank can be extended to increase the amount of power that can be applied to the retrieve. - Metal Series
The metal construction showcased in some of our finest reels now appears throughout our line of Metal Series products. Metal frames not only keep moving parts in precise alignment, they also feature the use of the latest anodizing, plating and painting techniques for beautiful and durable finishes.
