By designing a balanced and uniform thin wall aluminum constructed spool, S3D creates an incredibly smooth feeling when casting and retrieving lures. SUPER FREE SPOOL SF was designed to eliminate friction on the spool shaft during the cast. In standard baitcasting reels, when the clutch bar is pressed down, the pinion gear is freed and actually can drag on the spool shaft creating friction that can limit the length of a cast. With SF the pinion gear is supported by a ball bearing so that when the clutch is disengaged in preparation for a cast, the pinion gear and spool shaft are kept in perfect alignment. The result is zero friction upon the spool shaft. HAGANE BODY The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body stiffness and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power. It's efficiency through strength. SVS INFINITY The SVS Infinity provides easy-to-manage, consistent spool control and brake force. With brake weights that use inner friction against the raceway during the cast, SVS Infinity controls spool speed for precision casting especially when using lighter lures. The external adjustment knob provides for quick, precise adjustments for either the conditions or when you switch baits. Review: solid reel - super solid reel drag is very nice, no need for a dc if you tune it correctly or just use your thumb. Very easy to use and barely backlashes on me if you cast correctly. On a good day i can cast over 100 feet with a 1/8 oz jig head Review: Best reel at price point - Best reel i have owned absolutely love it 3rd cast pulled in this monster didn't struggle at all no slipping.
