• 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 reduces the weight of the spool by drilling, and lowers start-up inertia for more manageable casts.
• A7075 Aluminum Spool is extremely strong, so we can use less material for lighter weight, which helps to achieve more manageable freespool.
• Super Free (SF) bearing supported pinion gear system eliminates friction between the pinion gear and spool shaft for increased freespool.
• Digital Control the first self-energizing system updates the amount of cast control up to 1,000 times per second for the ultimate casting distance and manageability.
• High Efficiency Gearing (HEG) 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.
• Large Diameter Super Duralumin Drive Gear increases the durability of the drivetrain.
• Super Stopper is a one-way roller bearing that eliminates backplay for solid hooksets.
• Assist Stopper is a back-up anti-reverse system that reduces the stress placed on the one-way roller bearing to increase durability.
• Dartainium Drag material provides a wide range of drag settings and the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.
• 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.
• Recessed Reel Foot allows the reel to sit closer to the rod for comfort and maneuverability.
• Drilled Crossbar reduces the overall weight of the reel.
• Septon this handle grip material is soft to the touch and does not get slippery when wet (250 size only).
• Cold Forged Handle Shank is much stronger than pressed or cast handle for non-flexing durability.
• Metal Series Metal frames keep moving parts in precise alignment for increased efficiency and durability.
• Platinum Service Plan by submitting your warranty card, you receive coupons for discounted clean and lubes and priority 48-hour turnaround times from our Satellite Service Centers!
• Rubber Handle Grip is comfortable and soft to the touch (not available on 250 size).
• Paddle-style grip (except 250, which has PV Power Handles).
