This reel performs well in both freshwater and saltwater environments. The drag system is smooth and holds strong under pressure. I’ve used it for several weeks and it’s still in excellent condition.

The Infinity Drive makes a noticeable difference when fighting large fish. Cranking feels more responsive and the gear system doesn’t seem to wear down quickly.
