GLOSSARY

E.I. Surface Treatment

Conventional With E.I., after the anodization process is finished, a second layer of surface treatment is added. This treatment is forced into the remaining surface impurities. This gives salt no hideout, and also results in an extremely smooth-to- the-touch finish. So don’t forget to back your spool with tape or a few wraps of moo before installing your PowerPro ® , A reel with the E.I. Surface treatment has more than double the corrosion resistance of a standard anodized reel.

Ergonomic Power Handle
