  • LITECAST Magnesium Alloy Construction – A robust yet ultra-light frame weighing only 5.9 oz for effortless control. 
  • FLITE SPOOL Technology – A 33mm all-purpose spool weighing just 0.33 oz (including bearing) for super-tuned precision and smooth casting. 
  • FLITE SHAFT Technology – A patented hollow stainless-steel shaft with precision SUS ball bearings, achieving the perfect balance of weight and strength. 
  • Effortless Casting – The reel’s superior engineering allows for laser-focused casting, handling lures as light as 3g with exceptional accuracy. 
  • Enhanced Durability – Featuring an oversized 42mm brass main gear and an upgraded reinforced stainless steel handle arm and drive shaft for maximum toughness and longevity. 
  • MSRP: $149.99
