Product Details

  • Graphite frame, sideplate and rotor for reduced weight

  • Diecast aluminum spool

  • Varispeed: By using an oval oscillation gear, we are able to provide a consistent spool speed for an even line lay which results in excellent castability and manageability

  • Super Stopper is a multi-stop ratchet system that minimizes backplay for hooksetting power

  • Dyna-Balance similar to balancing a tire, we use counterbalancing techniques in the rotor to eliminate wobble during the retrieve

  • Power Roller II is an oversized line roller that reduces twist from casting and retrieving and is enhanced with a tapered area on the support to help line get onto the roller quicker

Great price for my kid

10 years ago
My 9yr old son wanted a new reel to replace the old one he wore out. After looking at a few the department employee suggested this would last better than the slightly cheaper model. After much deliberation, my son bought this reel to catch Pink salmon and Coho with. I put line on it and he went out on the street to practice casting. So far so good. Drag is easily adjusted and he can handle it with ease.

Yes, I recommend this product.

I purchased this reel as an economically priced back-up reel for fishing stripers on the Miramichi. The retrieve on this reel is so smooth that I found myself reaching for it more often than not. It also has an excellent drag and aided in the landing of hundreds of big striped bass so far this season.

Yes, I recommend this product.
