• A-RB® (Anti-Rust Bearings) are specially treated stainless steel ball bearings that are at least 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard stainless steel ball bearings.
• Lo-Mass™ Drilled Spool System (except on CL200ASV) reduces the weight of the spool by drilling, lowering start-up inertia for more manageable casts.
• A6063 Aluminum Spool (except on CL100A, which is A7075) this aluminum alloy provides extra corrosion resistance versus standard aluminum.
• Super Free (SF™) bearing supported pinion gear system eliminates friction between the pinion gear and spool shaft for increased freespool.
• Greaseless Spool Support Bearings By using lightweight oil rather than grease, friction is reduced even further for more casting distance and efficiency.
• Spare Brake Weight Block Holds up to 2 extra brake weights for more adjustability. (available on CL100A only)
• High Efficiency Gearing (HEG™) (available only on CL100A) is not only the oversized gears, but also includes the setplate and sideplate, which allow for a high speed retrieve while providing unbelievable fish-moving torque.
• Super Stopper is a one-way roller bearing that eliminates backplay for solid hooksets.
• Dartainium® Drag material provides a wide range of drag settings and the smoothest Shimano® drag performance ever.
• Variable Brake System (VBS®) uses centrifugal force rather than magnets to aid in controlling the cast for increased distance and adjustability.
• Titanium Levelwind Insert (CL100A is tapered).
• Clicking Drag Adjustment reduces the chance of the drag backing off at light settings while providing the angler a reference point to how much drag they add or reduce by turning the star.
• Clicking Cast Control Adjustment allows for more confident adjustability of the friction-based cast control.
• Oversized Clicking Cast Control Knob The large size is easy to use, while the clicking adjustment allows for precision settings.
• Recessed Reel Foot allows the reel to sit closer to the rod for comfort and maneuverability.
• Quarter Turn Easy Access Sideplate (available only on CL100A) An improvement over the already easy-to-use Turn-Key access, the fisherman flips up the Turn-Key on the sideplate, then rotates it 1/4 turn to open the sideplate for quick VBS adjustments.
• Turn Key Access Sideplate flip up the easy-to-use turn-key and rotate it to remove the sideplate to adjust the VBS brake weights.
• Septon®* This handle grip material is soft to the touch and does not get slippery when wet.
• Reduced Mass VBS hub (CL100A only) reduces the weight of the spool increasing freespool and reducing start up inertia.
• Cold Forged Handle Shank is much stronger than a pressed or cast handle for non-flexing durability.
• Metal Series Metal frames keep moving parts in precise alignment for increased efficiency and durability.
