The ALX spinning reel, which achieves a high level of balance between toughness and lightness, has undergone a full model change with the addition of a friction-free structure.
In the conventional structure, the main shaft inside the body rubbed (contacted) with the inside of the pinion gear while operating, and this friction made reeling heavy.
On the other hand, the friction-free structure, which uses a non-contact main shaft, eliminates this friction, achieving light and smooth rotation.
This dramatically improves the so-called "winding sensitivity," which clearly transmits even the slightest changes felt in the hand during reeling.
During a fight, the light reeling allows for that "one more turn," and even when the fish bites up or runs towards the hand, it guides you to the catch without loosening the line tension.
By adopting a C6 carbon rotor made of engineering plastic reinforced with carbon fiber and a DURAMETAL™ (high-strength aluminum casting alloy) integrated body, further weight reduction has been achieved without sacrificing strength or durability.
7 stainless steel HPCR ball bearings + 1 roller bearing. The pinion gear section employs Salt Shield ball bearings with rust-resistant properties.
A water-repellent coating is applied to the entire bearing, drastically reducing salt corrosion. It can withstand heavy use in saltwater.
To improve stopper reliability and prevent accidental operation, the instant anti-reverse ON/OFF switching function has been eliminated.
In addition, the adoption of a new clutch improves anti-reverse performance during winter fishing.
The 2WAY DRAG™ system allows for two settings, "Light" and "Tough," by changing the assembly order of the drag washers.
The adoption of a unique carbon matrix drag washer allows for higher drag force while maintaining smooth performance over a wide range.
Duracarbon™ handle: By laminating high-modulus carbon material, it contributes to high strength, lightweight design, and improved sensitivity.
