Advanced Line Lay & Beveled Spool Features

  • Even line lay significantly reduces wind knots and backlash for worry-free casting.
  • Internal reduction gear design (sizes 1500–2500) creates tighter line winding, reducing line friction during casts and increasing casting distance.
  • High-finish beveled spool lip reduces friction between line and spool by up to 50% for maximum casting distance and performance.

Master-tuned balance

  • Balances comfort and structural strength
  • Optimal overall weight for seamless rod and reel integration
  • Pursues moderate weight reduction while ensuring durability

Fishing Reel Model Applications & Target Species

  • 800-1000 Sizes: Ideal for mountain streams, urban rivers, and under bridges; targets smaller species like white bait, Opsariichthys bidens, opsariichthys uncirostris, and tilapia.
  • 1500-2500 Sizes: Designed for managed fishing ponds and urban waterways; targets larger predators like culter alburnus, bass, mandarin fish, snakehead, and spinibarbus sinensis.
  • 2500-3000 Sizes: Built for long-distance casting in large rivers, lakes, and reservoirs; targets species like large culter alburnus, yellowcheek, and sea bass.
