- Right-hand retrieve only, so it won’t suit left-handed anglers looking for a matching setup.
- The 7.1:1 gear ratio favors a faster retrieve, which may not be ideal if you prefer a slower presentation.
- Maximum drag is listed at 12.1 lbs, so anglers planning for heavier applications may want to confirm it fits their needs.
- Line capacity is specified for mono and J-braid, so spool planning should be matched carefully to the line you intend to use.
