Our founder challenged us to create the finest baitcaster in the world, one that exceeds the bounds of current technology. Here it is.

Welcome to a new standard of performance. It's been called "one of the lightest…smoothest, most powerful baitcast reels ever made." The materials and technology used to craft this special reel are second to none.

Frame: One-piece solid aluminum; lightweight and very tough.
Sideplates: Solid, rigid aluminum. No flex, no slippage.
Exterior finish: Gold titanium deposition. Unbreachable long-term protection from dings, damage, and color fade.
Spool: Aircraft-grade machined-aluminum, pre-drilled to minimize weight and maximize casting distance.
Drive gear/crankshaft: Duralumin aircraft-grade alloy.
Bearings: Two German stainless steel double-shielded ball bearings to support the spool shaft, eight stainless steel double-shielded ball bearings, one Powerlock™ instant anti-reverse bearing. 11 bearings total, strategically placed for uncompromised smoothness throughout the system.
Cast control: Advanced DBS Dual Braking System™.
Drag: Oversized Teflon®/stainless stacked discs.
Hardware: Recurve handle and drag star.

For comfort, quality, durability, and performance, we think this baitcaster compares favorably to any other reel out there. Give it a try this season!
