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. Aluminum Spool Super Free (SF) (excluding models 300, 400, 401, 700) bearing supported pinion gear system eliminates friction between the pinion gear and spool shaft for increased freespool. Variable Brake System (VBS) uses centrifugal force rather than magnets to aid in controlling the cast for increased distance and adjustability. High Efficiency Gearing (HEG) is not only the oversized gears, but also includes the setplate and sideplate, which allow for a high speed retrieve while providing unbelievable fish-moving torque. 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. Dartainium Drag material provides a wide range of drag setting and the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever. Non-Disengaging Levelwind System (only on models 300, 400, 401, 700) allows the levelwind to track back and forth during the cast which reduces drastic line angles that cause unwanted friction and backlashes on wide-spool reels. Recessed Reel Foot (excluding model 700) allows the reel to sit closer to the rod for comfort and maneuverability. Easy Access Sideplate by using a single thumb screw, the angler can open the sideplate and adjust the VBS without having to remove the spool from the reel. Manual Return Cluch (CTE700 only) Platinum Service Plan by submitting your warranty card, you receive coupons for discounted clean and lubes and priority 48 hour turnaround times from our Satellite Service Centers! Septon* Handle Grip (on models 300, 400, 401, 700) this handle grip material is soft to the touch and does not get slippery when wet.
