GLOSSARY
Non-Disengaging Levelwind System
Conventional, Round Baitcasting On wide-spool reels with a non-disengaging levelwind system, the levelwind remains engaged during the cast allowing the levelwind to track back and forth with the line as it flows off of the spool. This eliminates the drastic line angles caused by a disengaging levelwindsystem that can cause extreme friction which can lead to short casts or frustrating backlashes. By doing this we have increased the efficiency of the cast, allowing for more distance with less effort.
Offset Ergonomic Power Grip
Conventional The power grip is offset on multiple axes to allow natural hand, arm and wrist angle, improving comfort and power.
Oversized Clicking Cast Control Knob
Low Profile The large size is easy to use, while the clicking adjustment allows for precision settings.
Paladin ® Gear Durability Enhancement
Spinning and Offshore Spinning Using a special cold forged aluminum drive gear and a hardened brass pinion gear, reels equipped with the Paladin Gear Durability Enhancement will retain their out-of-the-box smoothness much longer than before. In fact, testing has shown that this combination of metals is more durable than an all-stainless steel drive - train while maintaining the smoothness that Shimano ® is famous for.
