• 9 + 1 stainless-steel bearing system with Japanese spool bearings
• 34 mm lightweight forged-aluminum spool
• Strong, multi-stack carbon fiber / stainless steel, audible drag system
• Highly adjustable dual magnetic / centrifugal braking system engineered for ease-of-use
• Aluminum drive gear and brass pinion gear for maximum longevity with exceptional feel
• One-year warranty backed by no-questions-asked accelerated replacement program
• Designed in Park Falls, Wisconsin, U.S.A.
ONE-PIECE ALUMINUM FRAME
GS Series casting reels are crafted on a robust & lightweight one-piece aluminum frame. Combining extreme strength with maximum rigidity, the one-piece aluminum chassis works with carbon-fiber side plates to isolate gears and eliminate flex that leads to premature wear and reel failure.
PRECISION-MACHINED DRIVETRAIN
GS casting reels are built for harsh conditions with CNC-machined aluminum drive gears and hard-brass pinion gears for maximum longevity with exceptional feel. Drivetrain mechanicals are supported by a silky 9+1 stainless-steel ball bearing system, with Japanese spool bearings on the stainless-steel spool shaft for uncompromising castability.
DUAL BRAKING SYSTEM
A dual magnetic and centrifugal braking system works in concert with a precision spool-tensioner to offer three levels of adjustability for maximum casting distance and positive spool control in any conditions. Magnetic and spool-tension controls are located on the reel’s exterior, while the angler-friendly centrifugal braking system features a simple control dial, easily accessed behind an attached Hinged Speed Cover.
CARBON-FIBER HANDLE
A thick, custom-designed ultra-light one-piece 95-mm carbon-fiber handle provides extreme strength and maintains rigidity in the heaviest cranking conditions. Its sleek, swept design places the soft-touch paddle grips closer to the reel’s center line, resulting in zero felt side torque under load.
CARBON-FIBER DRAG
Friction washers in the GS casting reel’s drag system are crafted from woven carbon fiber and are virtually impervious to wear. Complimentary stainless-steel washers within the stack provide drag lockdown at up to 21 pounds, offering smooth performance at all settings in all conditions.
OPTIMIZED SPOOL DIAMETERS
Each of GS’s three available gear ratios – 6.6:1, 7.3:1, and 8.1:1 – feature variable spool sizes optimized for maximum performance with intended techniques, ultimately providing greater angler control in the most-common fishing applications associated with each specific GS model.
