Features
- Super Stopper II - With the reel set in anti-reverse mode you'll find zero free-play on the handle thanks to Super Stopper II. Unerringly positive every time, its practical benefits include micro increment settings of quiver tips or specialist bite indicators and faster hook setting.
- Fightin Drag - A secondary drag system conveniently located towards the rear of the reel for instant use.
- Power Roller - The special design of the Power Roller significantly reduces line twist during the retrieve and is a big advantage when using thin mono and braid.
- Floating Shaft II - The key friction area on most fixed spool reels is where the spool drive shaft meets the pinion. Their specialised designers have overcome this by reducing a large percentage of surface area contact, and incorporating bearings on either side of the shaft. The resultant design leaves the shaft in a "floating" position, considerably improving efficiency and longevity.
- Aero Wrap II - By improving the internal friction efficiency, they have succeeded in bringing it’s line lay systems close to perfection. Close parallel coils in combination with 2 speed oscillation ensure smoother and further casting.
- S-System - Smooth, Silent, Strong S-System Represents their initial philosophy on which many of their fixed spool models have been designed. The three basic ideas that are inherent in the S-Concept are: Smooth, Silent and Strong.
- S-Guard - Specially designed guards are attached to the rotor and the body, which prevent the accumulation of water and also give added protection against accidental bumps and knocks.
- S-Arm Cam - Slack line around the line roller is the basic cause of problems during the cast. A newly designed roller incorporates a protruding lower surface, which helps prevent slack line, virtually eliminating the problem.
- S-Drag - The drag washers are made of pure carbon. These provide a smooth performance from zero to maximum power and also offer excellent durability.
- S-Spool - S-System spools are cold forged from aluminium alloy. The cold forging process creates a lightweight spool with increased structural strength. The addition of a spool ring, made from titanium-coated Zirconia, which is ten times harder than stainless steel, gives the lip added resistance to abrasion and damage.
- A-RC Spool - A spool design with a V-shape spool lip ensuring that the line comes off in smaller loops for further and more accurate casting. The AR-C spool will minimise the risk of backlash.
- Dyna-Balance - Reduces wobble and allows produces ultra-smooth performance.
- Spare Spool: x1

Questions and Answers
Q
Which would be the best choice for pike spinning?
A
Hi Gordon,
If you're looking for a rear drag reel then you cant go far wrong with one of these. Most though people prefer a front drag reel for lure fishing.

haven't used this reel yet but i'm sure my opinion of it will depend on how well I use the fighting drag lever. i prefer rear drag reels and having just one knob to decide the stiffness of your clutch is an advantage. simplicity being why. I've always had time to adjust the clutch on my reels in time before I get broken so I'm not entirely convinced that introducing another lever to do the same job will be all that helpful. I'll make another review when I have practical knowledge and more experience in using this reel.
