GLOSSARY

Direct Drive Mechanism

Spinning and Offshore Spinning The drive gear is directly attached to the handle, which means power is transmitted more efficiently with less vibration while increasing durability.

Diamond Like Coating (DLC ® )

Offshore Spinning This coating has properties similar to that of diamonds, meaning it’s hardness and smoothness are unmatched. This translates into less friction and wear on the line.

Drilled, Cold Forged Drag Star

Low Profile Provides strength with light weight while its unique design provides comfort when adjusting the drag.

Drilled Crossbar

Round Baitcasting By drilling the top crossbar of the reel, we have enhanced the appearance of the reel while decreasing the overall weight. The result is a beautiful looking reel that does not weight you down.
