Attractive, straight-forward dependability is what these reels offer. Oversized machine-cut stainless steel gears define transmissions that surrender to nothing; strong carbon/stainless drags give lots of stopping power. Tenex® bearings have 10 times the corrosion resistance of regular stainless bearings. Fishermen continue to be surprised by the extraordinary free-spool that these reels have - right out of the box. The rugged, straight forward construction of these reels makes them a favorite year after year for folks who want no-nonsense reliability on their big water trips.
