GLOSSARY

Ratcheting Drag Lever

Conventional Eliminates the chance of the drag lever backing off due to boat vibration, and the detents serve as a refer - ence point as to how much the drag has been increased or reduced.

Recessed Reel Foot

Low Profile, Round Baitcasting By recessing the reel foot further into the frame, the reel sits lower in the reel seat. This allows for a much more palmable feel when the reel is mounted on a rod than traditional frame designs. Not only does it in - crease the comfort level, but because of the lower profile in the reel seat, it makes the reel much more ma - neuverable with casting styles such as underhand and roll casts.

Reduced Mass VBS ® Hub

Low Profile Reduces the weight of the spool, increasing freespool and reducing start up inertia.

Reduced Profile Top Crossbar

Rubber Handle Grip

Conventional, Low Profile, Round Baitcasting, Saltwater and Spinning The Rubber Handle Grip is comfortable and soft to the touch.
