GLOSSARY

Drilled Handle Shank

Low Profile Reduces the weight of the reel without sacrificing strength.

Dyna-Balance ®

Saltwater and Spinning This feature eliminates wobble during the retrieve by counterbalancing the rotor to enhance sensitivity and smoothness. By using computer balancing, an approach similar to car tire balancing, we are able to redistribute the rotor weight to create smooth rotation and eliminate vibrations caused by the reel.

Easy Access Sideplate

Round Baitcasting On reels with this feature, to access the VBS ® system, a set screw on the handle side of the reel is loos - ened and the opposite sideplate rotates open. From here the VBS ® weights can be adjusted without having to remove the spool or any other parts of the reel, for easy, worry-free adjustment on the water.

Easy Mag ® II

Low Profile This magnetic cast control system can actually allow for a true freespool setting. With traditional mag - netic systems, the magnets are moved away from the spool. So, even at the zero setting, the magnets still apply some force upon the spool. With Easy Mag, the magnets are rotated away from the spool and towards each other. At the zero setting, the magnets face each other and cancel themselves out, apply - ing zero force to the spool.
