Quick-fire casting: Make quick follow-up casts without changing hands or even your grip. If you know this feature you love it. If you don't know it you'll be amazed.

Rear Drag: In the fight, adjust the drag without getting fingers where the line is peeling off. Tighten or loosen the drag with the big knob at the rear.

Quick Drag Adjustment: The lever near the drag knob lets you adjust the drag with just the swipe of a finger.

Pop-Off Spool: Another advantage of the rear drag is that you can quickly pop off the spool with the push of the top-center button. No need for tedious unscrewing. And your drag setting isn't affected. A big advantage when you need to handle a wind knot.

Large Capacity: This reel is the big model. It'll hold lots of the line you like. 160 yards of 12-pound mono, for example. And it picks up a lot of line per crank.

Left hand or Right: Easy to switch the handle.
