GLOSSARY

Asymmetrical Spool Window

Low Profile This allows unparalleled line control during the cast while still providing a comfortable thumb rest while cranking.

Baitrunner ®

Offshore Spinning The Baitrunner lever, providing a secondary drag system, allows an angler to feed out line in tension- controlled freespool with the bail closed. This enables the angler to let the fish take the bait and run, while maintaining line control by having the bail closed. To engage the primary drag and set the hook, simply turn the handle or flip the Baitunner level to the “Baitrunner Off” position and the fight is on.

XGT-7 Construction

Spinning The new generation of graphite technology that is 200% stronger than the previous graphite to keep the internal components aligned for longevity. Provides an exceptionally solid and smooth feel with anti-corrosion structure.

CI4 Construction

Spinning CI4 stands for Carbon Interfusion with the 4 referring to the number of electrons in the Carbon atom. Ultimately, this means CI4 is reinforced Carbon Fiber. It is over one and a half times stronger than our normal XT7 graphite and is over 20% lighter. Because it does not contain metal, it is impervious to rust. So, as a result of its strength and weight, we can create an extremely lightweight reel with very precise tolerances.
