The MZ is a completely new design using our patented "zero-backlash" clutch and Cork/FXB polymer disc drag. The MZ uses four stainless steel ball bearings and has a sealed drag mechanism which is part of the frame unit. The reel has a quick release spool and traditional frame side drag adjuster knob.

The MZ is 100% machined aluminum alloy and stainless steel construction with no plastic parts or bushings. The MZ functions with ball bearing smoothness, a silent retrieve and a crisp out-going click. The reel (frame & spool) comes with either all Jet Black or all Pearl Gray polished glossy finish with optional spool colors:

Left-to-Right: Titanium, Pearl Gray, Baja Gold, Agate Green
