Key Features

  Featuring our exclusive button technology, the drag system applies smooth, even pressure from the instant a fish takes off, eliminating start-up friction and providing unmatched control during blistering runs.

  A precisely indexed drag knob with a true “one-turn stop” offers complete access to the reel’s full drag range—allowing fast, intuitive adjustments when big fish change direction or surge unexpectedly.
