Key Product Features and Technologies

• HAGANE Body: A metal reel body with high rigidity, which virtually eliminates body flexing under pressure. This rigidity transforms the anglers actions directly into cranking power for maximum efficiency.
• S-Compact Body: An ergonomic design that makes the reel feel smaller in your hand for all-day comfort and easy palming, providing better control during a fight. The non-handle side plate is up to 25% smaller than the handle side.
• High Efficiency Gearing (HEG): An integrated drive train system that includes enlarged drive and pinion gears, a one-piece frame, and a stamped side plate. This system eliminates flex that causes gears to bind, ensuring maximum leverage and power.
• Cross Carbon Drag: Utilizes high-performance carbon washers for a maximum drag of 11kg (24lb). This material is ideal for high drag pressure settings, delivering smooth and consistent performance across all settings.
• S A-RB Bearings: Shielded Anti-Rust Bearings are high corrosion-resistant ball bearings with shields on both sides to drastically reduce the possibility of salt, sand, or dust inhibiting the rotation. They are designed to last significantly longer in high-salinity environments.
• Super Stopper: A one-way stainless steel roller bearing that provides instant hook-setting power by eliminating back-play in the handle.
• Super Free Spool: An engineering feature designed to eliminate friction on the spool shaft during the cast, improving casting performance.
• E.I. Surface Treatment (Anti-Corrosion): A second layer of surface treatment added after the anodizing process. This is forced into microscopic surface imperfections to prevent salt adhesion and corrosion, ensuring long-term durability in a harsh saltwater environment.
• Spool: Cold Forged Aluminum Spool, which provides increased strength and durability compared to diecast or graphite spools.
• Frame: Die Cast Aluminium Frame with a one-piece drive side sideplate for enhanced rigidity.
