Key Specs
Features
- + Lightweight & Balance - Fishdrops TW1000-5000 series fishing reels achieve approximately 20% lightweight (compared to the 2500 shallow spool), ultralight only 7.4 to 10.6 ounces. Balanced transmission system, fast take-up/low centrifugal force/smoother cup rotation; spinning reel is not easy to lean forward when holding, and during technical throwing, the fishing reel will not be swayed by the weight in front and can swing the pole freely.
- + Aluminum Slanting Mouth Spool & Screw-in Handle - Fishing reels spinning CNC aluminum alloy slanting mouth Spool reduces the friction area of the outgoing line, allows for faster retraction and release of the wire, and allows for further throwing. The slanting mouth design ensures a smooth and smooth outgoing line without damaging the wire. CNC screw-in handle reduces energy transmission loss and provides a smooth take-up feel.
- + Super Smooth & Dual Bearing System - Two points and one line of force are applied to solve the problem of severe shaking of the centerline head during long-term use, improving the anti-impact performance of the spinning reels. The 12+1 sealed stainless steel ball bearing system and unique anti-reverse design instantly stop the reverse switch with one button.
- + Precision Construction & Internal Precision - The Worm Shaft System has a smoother winding and a lightweight transmission feel. The main shaft, which was originally supported by traditional gears, is supported by special low-friction bearings, greatly reducing vibration resistance. In addition, special treatment is adopted on the surface of the spindle, which reduces the rotational inertia by about 30% compared to the original saltwater fishing reels.
- + Powerful Drag - Carbon fiber system that can provide drag up to 33lb. 6 washers have smooth unloading force and strong braking force. Quickly adjust the unloading force and easily handle large fish, providing high-strength fishing support for target large fish such as sea bass in salt water.
