Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 7.4 gear ratio and 32 line retrieve per crank favor quicker pickup, which is useful for moving lures and heavier line but may feel faster than some anglers want for slower presentations.
- Maximum drag is listed at 13 pounds, so this reel is better matched to setups within that range rather than applications that call for substantially higher drag.
- This model is configured for right-hand retrieve only, so left-hand anglers will need a different option.
- At 7.6 ounces, it is not the lightest reel in its class, which may matter on long days or when building a very light setup.
