GLOSSARY

Magnumlite ® Rotor

Featured on the Sustain ® 1000FG, 2500FG, 3000FG, and 4000FG and Stradic ® CI4+ spinning reels, our Magnumlite CI4+ rotor contributes to when precise lure presentation is needed for fish-catching success. A stronger, yet lighter material than our first generation CI4 ® (found on our Thunnus ® and Stradic ® CI4 reels), this lightweight rotor construction provides incredibly low start-up inertia at the beginning of the cast, and then reduced rotor momentum at the end of the cast. It all leads to the ideal scenario for com - plete fishing control.

Maintenance Port

Spinnng and Offshore Spinning The maintenance port is an easily accessed hole strategically located for easy maintenance of the reel. Using a slot-head screwdriver, the rubber sealed plug can be removed from the reel. Little amount of permalube grease can be applied to the drivetrain to prevent corrosion and to protect the smooth retrieve of the reel. Be sure to not over-lubricate the reel as excessive lubrication can cause the reel to become sluggish. Also, after-market spray lu - bricants may contain cleaners and degreasers that can actually remove the grease and oil which protect the reel. This may cause prematrue corrosion or damage to the reel. Before using an after-market lubricant, we recom - mend that you contact our Customer Service Department at 1-877-577-0600 to be sure it will not damage your reel.

Manual Bail Trip

Offshore Spinning Reels equipped with manual bail trip do not have an auto trip mechanism and the bail must be closed manually. This feature brings added line control during freespool that is imperative to anglers seeking big game.

Metal Series

Conventional, Low Profile, Round Baitcasting, Saltwater and Spinning The metal construction showcased in some of our finest reels now appears throughout our line of Metal Series products. Metal frames not only keep moving parts in precise alignment, they also feature the use of the latest anodizing, plating and painting techniques for beautiful and durable finishes.
