Description:
|
* A-RB (Anti-Rust Bearings) are specially treated stainless steel ball bearings that are at least 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard stainless steel ball bearings.
* Aluminum Frame
* Graphite Sideplate
* Graphite Rotor (except for models 12000 and 14000 which are aluminum).
* Cold Forged Aluminum Spool provides increased strength and durability.
* Flat T Type handle configuration.
* Rubber Handle Grip is comfortable and soft to the touch.
* TI Spool Lip reduces friction during the cast and increases durability for both the reel and the line.
* Metal Series Metal frames keep moving parts in precise alignment for increased efficiency and durability.
* Power Roller III is an oversized line roller that reduces twist from casting and retrieving, and uses a cone-shaped support to help get the line onto the roller quicker.
* Aerowave (3000-8000 models only) uses the strength of a standard oscillation system and the multiple speeds similar to that found on a worm-drive system to provide excellent line lay with awesome durability.
* Aerowrap (12000 and 14000 model only) Worm drive oscillation wraps the line onto the spool in a criss-cross pattern to reduce friction and increase casting distance.
* Super Stopper II is a one-way roller bearing that eliminates backplay for solid hooksets, yet can be turned on or off to allow back-reeling.
* Waterproof Drag is sealed against the intrusion of the elements, such as water or dust.
* Fluidrive II uses the successes of Fluidrive, but also uses a polishing process to increase tooth contact for increased efficiency.
* Dyna-Balance similar to balancing a tire, we use counterbalancing techniques in the rotor to eliminate wobble during the retrieve.
