Features:

• Diecast Aluminum Frame

• Stamped Aluminum Right Sideplate

• Aluminum Braced Graphite Non-Handle Side Plate

• Aluminum Spool

• Rod Clamp

• Manual Clutch (excluding 500LC and 600LC which are Auto-Return)

• A-RB (Anti-Rust Bearings) are specially treated stainless steel ball bearings that are at least 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard stainless steel ball bearings.

• Super Stopper is a one-way roller bearing that eliminates backplay for solid hooksets.

• Assist Stopper is a back-up anti-reverse system that reduces the stress placed on the one-way roller bearing to increase durability.

• Dartainium Drag material provides a wide range of drag settings and the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.

• Oversized Cast Control Knob comfortable and easy to use.

• Clicker increases the tension on freespool and activates a clicking alarm when a fish bites.

• Septon* this handle grip material is soft to the touch and does not get slippery when wet.

• Oversized Clicker Button easy to turn on and off.

• Counter Balanced Handle (excluding models 700 and 800) By placing a weight on the opposite side of the handle shank from the grip, wobble during the retrieve is eliminated.

• Adjustable Handle Shank (only models 700 and 800) allows the angler to use the handle in the short position for fast retrieves, or the extended position for more cranking power.

• Optional Double Paddle Handle allows the angler to purchase, as an accesory, a double paddle handle for certain applications (Available on 500, 500LC, 600 and 600LC only).

• Non-Disengaging Levelwind System Allows the levelwind to track back and forth during the cast which reduces drastic line angles that cause unwanted friction and backlashes on wide-spool reels.

• Palmable Linecounter with Maintenance Port (only 500LC and 600LC) allows for comfortable palming of the reel, easy maintenance of the counter mechanism, and easy, one-handed resets.

• Crossbar Forward Design allows more access to the spool for better line control and provides more comfort when palming the reel.

• Metal Series Metal frames keep moving parts in precise alignment for increased efficiency and durability.
