We’ve upgraded the Extreme with our tournament-proven Dual Braking System™—the combination of the automatic centrifugal brake and the manually adjustable magnetic brake controls the initial, intermediary, and final stage of the cast to give you a perfect landing every time. The double-anodized V-grooved spool is free-floating for virtually zero friction, and ported for additional weight reduction. And our new drag is truly a breakthrough—the 4-disc Aramid fiber/Stainless steel washer drag system smoothly exerts resistance of up to 12 lbs. on the meanest, hardest-fighting fish, while at the same time dissipating heat better than anything we’ve ever seen…resulting in the most powerful, longest-lasting, stick-free drag you’ve ever experienced in a baitcast reel!
Other standard features include one-piece cast, then CNC-machined aluminum frame; easy-access sideplate with push-button release for ease of maintenance; titanium nitride-coated line guide; 7-bearing system (six premium double-shielded stainless steel plus one Powerlock™ instant anti-reverse); Recurve handle; and click drag star.
One-piece aluminum frame:
The one-piece frame is diecast using cutting edge molding technology, then CNC machined to the tightest tolerances to provide a flex-free housing for gears and bearings.
Recurve Handle:
Pairs with a sleek drag star to create a more compact profile with greater comfort.
Aramid Fiber/Stainless Steel Drag Stack:
Aramid fiber is a profoundly durable synthetic material that is highly resistant to abrasion, organic solvents, and impervious to heat up to 930°F! Its other uses include body armor fabric for our troops.
DBS (Dual Braking System):
Re-engineered with our pro-grade system that combines centrifugal and magnetic braking technology to give you trouble-free casting!

It casts and winds well, and the drag is good. No problems here.

Rated 1 out of 5 by BRUINSFAN DO NOT BUY DOES NOT CAST WELL
this reel is super smooth when bringing the line in and bringing in fish. But it Does not cast well !!! about ten to twenty feet of casting every time. if you set the reel for easy casting the reel spider webs and you have to take line out slowly to re set it! very smooth reel but not worth the money due to not casting far at all. i am a 15+ year fisherman who has had $10.00 reels that cast farther than this one. beware!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by sinker63 Best Reel for the money
This is the smoothest and longest lasting reel that I have ever used for the amount of money it costs. I believe this is one of the best values offered by Bass Pro Shops.

In the print catalog, the centrifugal part of the dual brake system is described as "automatic". Does this mean it can't be adjusted manually?Answers

A:

A:
7.1:1A:
the lower gear ratios(5.4:1) are generally fast enough for most deep running baits. remember, deep runners will usually have a larger bill and it offers a lot more resistance which creates more wear on your gears.A:
i would say a 5:3.1 if you work your crankbaits slow. i like a 6:3.1 because i like a fast retrieve some times.A:
I actually read an article about this recently, the lower the gears the more torque which would be 5:1 gears would be better for deep crank baitsAnswers
