IPX8 grade waterproof performance
IPX is a code indicating waterproofing defined by international standards. IPX8 is a waterproof performance that prevents water from entering even if it is submerged in water for a certain period of time, and can be operated underwater within the same time. Not only does it get splashed by the waves, but it doesn't get flooded even if you spin the eight dollars under the water.
Shield Slammer Drag / Dura Drag
"Shield Slammer Drag" equipped with a large diameter washer dura drag. The waterproof drag part always keeps a stable drag force. The new design with additional bearings makes it even smoother.
CNC main gear of plus material
Plus CNC Gear made with state-of-the-art computer control and precision processing machines. Stainless steel is used for both the main gear and the pinion gear to achieve excellent durability and smooth rotation.
Water repellent line roller bearing
A water-repellent bearing is used for the hall bearing of the line roller. It has drastically reduced the Shiogami phenomenon.
Aluminum round knob (standard) / Hypalon knob (included)
Comes standard with an easy-to-grip aluminum round knob. It also comes with a handle knob made of Hypalon material, which is softer than EVA material and has high shape recovery.
