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.
