Magic Cast Control
Can be used for jigging, trolling, surf & bait casting. A proven reel for Strippers & Salmon off North America. I plan to use this model in Hawaii for Bonefish (O'io), Sharks, Rays, & GT Giant Trevally (Ulua).
THE MAIN REASON I WANTED THIS MODEL WAS TO USE THE MAGNETIC MC CASTING FEATURE TO ELIMINATE THE NEED TO "THUMB THE REEL". I'LL BE SHOWING THIS FEATURE IN UPCOMING VIDEOS.
Great For Trolling, Shore & Bait Casting
