Overview
Built for anglers who want a compact low-profile baitcasting reel with a fast retrieve, this left-hand model is suited to techniques that benefit from quick line pickup and easy palmability. Its palm-sized frame and Low-Friction Tapered Vortex line guide are designed to support smooth line flow while helping reduce fatigue during longer sessions. With a 7.2:1 gear ratio and 29.8 inches per turn, it offers a brisk retrieve for covering water and working lures efficiently. The 9BB + 2SS + 1RB bearing setup and 6.4-ounce weight round out a reel aimed at serious sportfishing use without adding unnecessary bulk.

- The 7.2:1 gear ratio is a defined setup choice, which may not suit anglers looking for a slower or faster retrieve profile.
- The compact, low-profile frame is designed for comfort and reduced fatigue, but it may feel less substantial to anglers who prefer a larger reel body.
- Line capacity is listed at 12/105, so line selection and intended use should be matched carefully to avoid overloading the spool.
