standard
stainless steel ball bearings. |

use the handle in the short position for fast retrieves, or the extended
position for more cranking power. |

(Available on
500, 500LC, 600 and 600LC only). |

allows for comfortable palming of the reel, easy maintenance of the
counter mechanism, and easy, one-handed resets. |

control and provides more comfort when palming the reel. |
