Technical FAQ
Who is a DC brake for? Anyone who backlashes into the wind, skips baits under docks, or hands the rod to a newer angler. The chip meters braking through the whole cast instead of one fixed setting.
Saltwater? The bearings are double-sealed, which is the spec that matters around spray; rinse after salt use like any reel.
