I can remember many days when I was absolutely broke, fishing with a $40 spinning combo because it was all I could afford

This series is made with the Duragear brass gear for durability, a rugged machined aluminium spool, and the Power Disk drag system for smooth drag performance

Synchronized level reel foot allows for a more ergonomic reel design

At a Glance Spinning reels: Finesse (drop shot, Ned, small jigs): Super 8 Slick V2 + fluorocarbon leader All-around (walleye, bass, inshore): Classic PowerPro Braid + leader in clear water Heavier spinning (big swimbaits, current, mussels): size up in diameter + leader for abrasion Baitcasting reels: Moving baits (chatterbaits, swimbaits): Classic PowerPro size so you avoid dig-in under load Jigs / Texas rigs around cover: bump up in diameter to reduce dig-in Frogs / punching: classic PowerPro in heavier tests
