REEL TECHNOLOGY
IPX RATING
The IP standard is an International Ingress Protection Rating. Giving you a clearer picture of how water resistant your product is, compared to vague marketing terms such as ‘waterproof’.
It’s a rating that states how protected the gear is against water getting into the casing and affecting the internals. In order to achieve an IP rating the product must pass an international standardised testing procedure.
IPX5 TEST – WATER JETS
Water projected by a 6.3mm nozzle at a flow rate of 12.5 litres/ min at a pressure of 30kN/m2 for 3 minutes from a distance of 3 meters against enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effects.
IPX6 TEST – POWERFUL WATER JETS
Water projected in powerful jets against enclosure from any direction at a flow rate of 100 litres/min at a pressure of 100kN/m2 for 3 minutes from a distance of 3 metres shall have no harmful effects.
IPX8 TEST
Independently verified by the International Ingress Protection Rating, the Authority is approved for ZERO water ingress during 30 minutes of submersion at 1 metre of depth whilst reel components are stationary.

Both the spool and spindle may rotate independently from the drive train and frame thereby reducing friction during free spool and eliminating binding during the retrieve.
Versa-Handle system allows the angler to choose how long the handle should be in less than a minute, tools are included with each reel.
