GLOSSARY

Aero Wrap ® II

Spinning and Offshore Spinning Aero Wrap II is a worm gear oscillation system with a specially designed pitch to create optimal oscillation speeds for the Propulsion ® Spool Lip design. It provides uniform line lay and winding shape to prevent loss of energy during the cast while providing longer casts than other oscillation systems. So, casting distance increases with less effort required.

A-RB ® (Anti-Rust Bearings)

A-RB ® bearings are stainless steel ball bearings that have been through the A-RB ® treatment process which makes them at least 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard stainless steel ball bearings. • A-RB ® (Anti-Rust Bearings) are made of Stainless Steel that has been through the A-RB ® process. • At least 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard Stainless Steel ball bearings. • Easy Maintenance—no shield design allows for easy flushing of debris and easy lubrication. • Increased Bearing Speed—no shield design and lighter viscosity lubrication reduce friction and allow the bearing to spin faster and longer.

Assist Stopper

Conventional, Low Profile, Round Baitcasting and Offshore Spinning This is a back up system to the Super Stopper® that consists of the traditional pawl and ratchet. Should the Super Stopper roller bearing slip due to cold weather or over-lubrication, the Assist Stopper kicks in to provide a solid hookset the instant the roller bearing begins to slip. Most of the time the angler will not even know when this feature engages, because by quickly stopping the backwards rotation of the roller bearing, the Assist Stopper greatly reduces the chance of permanent damage to the Super Stopper, al - lowing it to continue to function as designed.
