Rotation:

• The C5 features a precision-machined spindle and a finely tuned bearing system that ensures silky smooth operation, crucial for maintaining control over delicate presentations and subtle drifts. This seamless function is especially valuable when targeting wary fish in clear, fast-moving streams, where even the smallest detail of your setup can make or break the experience. The C5’s bearing system is designed to maintain its performance under various conditions, providing consistent control when it matters most.

5” Diameter:

• With a 5-inch diameter and large arbor, the C5 speeds up line retrieval, making it effortless to manage long drifts and quickly reel in slack line. This design enhances line management efficiency and helps maintain tension, which is vital for setting hooks and battling fish that make sudden, powerful runs. The large arbor also reduces floating resistance, allowing the reel to smoothly spool out line even in slower-moving water. This combination of optimal diameter and arbor design ensures faster retrieves and improved line handling, making it ideal for anglers who value precision and speed.

Travel Lock:

• The C5 features a robust travel lock knob that keeps your gear secure during transit—an essential when moving through dense brush or between fishing spots. The lock mechanism is designed with a subtle click, providing tactile feedback when turning it on and off. This feature prevents line spool-out. To prevent premature wear, ensure that you disengage the lock before fishing.

Free Spool Lever:

• The C5’s intuitive free-spool lever is crafted from solid brass, offering durability and a touch of classic style. Engineered for smooth, effortless transitions between engaged and free-spool settings, the brass lever adds a premium feel. A distinctive flick mechanism allows you to adjust on the fly with just a touch of your finger, keeping your attention on the water instead of your gear. Its low-profile design minimizes accidental engagement, providing anglers with a seamless and distraction-free experience.

Interchangeable Retrieve & Ambidextrous Lever:

• The C5’s non-directional, interchangeable retrieve system is designed for both right- and left-handed anglers, ready to fish out of the box without the need for tools or disassembly. The ambidextrous lever is ergonomically designed for comfort and balance whether you are right or left handed.
