Please Note

There are inconsistencies in the supplier-provided weight specifications. One section lists 220g / 230g / 300g / 305g / 425g / 430g, while another states a total range of 153–309g. Because these figures conflict, individual reel weights have not been presented as confirmed specifications.

The supplier also describes the reel as having increased water protection through several internal components, but no formal waterproof or IP rating has been provided. The reel should therefore not be considered waterproof.

After saltwater use, rinse lightly with fresh water without directing high-pressure water into the reel, then allow it to dry before storage.
