Information

The drivetrain

A reverse-taper Magnum Light Spool IV and the SVS Infinity centrifugal brake keep the spool light and consistent through the whole cast rather than tailing off near the end. Silent Drive and triple-bearing gear-shaft support give the retrieve a refined, low-vibration feel through the handle.

What it's built for

An all-round bass casting reel at home flipping and pitching worms and jigs, working crankbaits through cover, or throwing topwater and swimbaits on open water wherever confidence at distance with light-to-medium lures matters.

How it fishes

XG's 7.8:1 ratio and 91cm per turn suit topwater, chatterbaits, vibrating jigs and fast slack pickup after a jump, letting the angler cover water quickly between casts.

Spools and spares

Suits a 6'6"-7'3" medium to medium-heavy bass casting rod, 12-16lb fluorocarbon or 30-50lb braid with a fluorocarbon leader, depending on cover and lure choice.
