No matter what anybody says, we all know the truth that size does matter! There was no skimping on material when these gears were machine-cut from stainless steel bar stock. These high speed reels are built like tanks, and the transmissions in them are absolutely awesome! The oversized, stainless steel gears will handle any load you can hold on to. The instant-stop anti-reverse system is backed up by a double-pawl system to give lots of system redundancy. Distinctive sapphire/gold cosmetics make these high- speed reels as attractive as they are functional.
