A-RB (Anti-Rust Bearings) are specially treated stainless steel
ball bearings that are at least 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard
stainless steel ball bearings. Handle Side VBS allows the angler to adjust the
VBS brake weights without removing the spool from the reel. Variable Brake
System (VBS) uses centrifugal force rather than magnets to aid in controlling
the cast for increased distance and adjustability. Super Stopper is a one-way
roller bearing that eliminates backplay for solid hooksets. Assist Stopper is a
back-up anti-reverse system that reduces the stress placed on the one-way roller
bearing to increase durability. Non-Disengaging Levelwind System (available only
on models 400 and 401) allows the levelwind to track back and forth during the
cast which reduces drastic line angles that cause unwanted friction and
backlashes on wide-spool reels. Recessed Reel Foot (except on models 400 and
401) allows the reel to sit closer to the rod for comfort and maneuverability.
Three Post Quick Take Down (except on models CDF100A which is 2-post) by
unscrewing the thumb screws the sideplate can be easily removed for maintenance
or to adjust the VBS brake weights. Metal Series Metal frames keep moving parts
in precise alignment for increased efficiency and durability. Rubber Handle Grip
is comfortable and soft to the touch. Diecast Aluminum Frame. Aluminum Spool.
