Overview
An angler who casts baits and lures from a right hand reel gets a graphite frame, an aluminum handle and stainless steel bearings. The new AutoMag dual braking system manages spool speed on the cast, and a carbon fiber drag handles runs.
Low weight with a strong drag and a braking system built for casting is the reason to consider it for baitcasting. The limits are the unclear gearing on offer, the odd line capacity entry and a right hand retrieve that excludes lefties.
Who it's for
Bass and inshore anglers who cast lures with braided line, and who want to reduce backlash and rod fatigue, suit this reel. Anglers needing a left hand retrieve or clear line capacity data should check another model.
Pros and cons
- High maximum drag
- Light graphite frame
- Dual braking system
- Gear ratio given as a range
- Line capacity entry is unusable
- Right hand only
Performance notes
Braking systems slow the spool as the lure flies, which reduces backlash from overrun. Carbon fiber drag washers give smooth, consistent pressure when a fish runs, and shielded bearings protect the spinning parts from water and grit. Gear ratio sets line retrieved per handle turn, which matters for fast lure work.
