Smooth drag, excellent performance and value. New generation hybrid reel with machined frame to give maximum strength for value price. Solid drag system can handle all freshwater and most saltwater conditions. Excellent value packed into a machined bar stock reel starting under $200.  Quickly emerged as a favorite among our guides for value. 

Very stout reel.  Powerful option at below top-of-line prices.  Can handle all fresh and most any salt-water challenges.  Best of the Gold
