We wanted to thank you for making our Extreme Baitcaster one of the world's top-selling reels. And the best way we could think of was to add more features without raising the price! It's still our most versatile reel series, with 6 separate performance versions plus 3 left-hand models--9 great baitcasters to cover all your needs. But now every single model sports a 7-bearing system that incorporates top-quality Japanese stainless steel ball bearings in key locations, plus a one-way roller bearing for the PowerLock™ instant anti-reverse. These are our smoothest Extremes ever, virtually effortless on the retrieve and perfectly silent all around; we think that, like Stacey King, you'll find them a pleasure to use. And from the moment the fight is on, we know you'll appreciate the raw, "persuasive" power of our Drag System which gives ground only if you want it to. This advanced system stacks 6 stainless steel and Teflon®-coated glass discs to provide up to 10 lbs. of smooth drag pressure--that's way more drag range than most comparable reels! But the quality doesn't stop there: every Extreme is built on a solid 1-piece aluminum frame with free-floating machined aluminum spool and titanium nitride line guide. And the advanced Inertial Transfer Brake dual system uses both centrifugal and magnetic brakes to feather each cast perfectly. The focus is on performance, and we believe every Extreme Baitcaster represents an exceptional value.
Versions available include: Super High Speed 7.1:1, High Speed 6.4:1, and Standard 5.4:1 retrieve all available in both right and left- hand models. Flipping includes flipping switch, 6.4:1 and is ideal for flipping/pitching for bass AND bottom bouncing for walleye. Wide Spool has increased capacity, 6.4:1 and is great for heavier line/larger baits. Lite has a smaller frame, 6.3:1, and is for smaller bait/finesse situations.
