13 Fishing Concept Z2 casting

13 Fishing Concept Z SLD Gen II: The Evolution of the Revolution If the first Concept Z shook the market by eliminating traditional ball bearings, the Gen II raises the bar even higher.

Thumb Control: SLIDE System The true innovation of this generation is the SLIDE magnetic control system. Strategically positioned for immediate adjustment, it allows you to adapt instantly to environmental conditions.

• Headwind? Flip the switch.

• Tailwind? Release it with a gesture. Don't waste another second unscrewing side plates: the combination of low-friction centrifugal braking and SLIDE magnetic braking offers an unprecedented range of control.

Zero Bearing Technology (CZB) Forget corrosion, noise, and the maintenance of standard bearings. Thanks to CZB (Concept Zero Bearing) technology, the Concept Z uses proprietary polymer bushings that defy salt and wear. The result? Fluid casts and a lifespan that challenges traditional reels.

Technical Features & Innovations

1. SLIDE Magnetic Cast Control System: An ergonomically positioned magnetic selector that lets you adjust the brake instantly with your thumb. Ideal for adapting to wind changes between casts without interrupting the action.

2. CZB Technology (Concept Zero Bearing): Utilizes 6 CZB proprietary polymer bearings. Being ball-free, they eliminate corrosion risks and ensure long-lasting smoothness, even in saltwater.

3. Hi-Tech Cast Iron Carbon Frame: An ultra-rigid carbon structure that offers the solidity of metal with incredible lightness, eliminating any flex under load.

4. Ti-Armor Aluminum Hamai Cut Gearing: Precision-cut gears treated with Ti-Armor for doubled wear resistance and extremely smooth retrieval.

5. Advanced Polymer Drag System: A powerful and progressive drag capable of delivering 20 lb (9 kg) of max drag, assisted by an Alert Drag Clicker.
