Bass Pro Shops Bionic Plus Review
The soft touch finish isn’t just to look good out there, it’s also designed to give you a better grip, even when it’s wet! We’ve enhanced casting performance with our Free Zone Braking System. It enables you to prevent backlashing in windy conditions or 'Go Long' when needed. The low-profile body design gives you a comfortable, palmable reel that balances with your rod perfectly, for easy handling on both the cast and the retrieve. The 1-piece frame keeps the gears tightly aligned; the 6-bearing system uses double-shielded stainless steel ball bearings for long-term smooth operation. Lightweight drilled machined-aluminum spool; Free Zone magnetic cast control system; super-strong aluminum handle; Powerlock™ instant anti-reverse; smooth drag system rated for up to 8 lbs. of drag pressure.

"I've owned this reel for about a year. I used it for the first time about two weeks ago. I was wade fishing with a topwater set up. This reel will cast a mile and it worked real good for speckeled trout. I like it and i'll buy another one."

"Better for more experienced anglers as backlashes will occur quite often for people who do not know how to use it. Not a begginer baitcaster. However, if better cast very smoothly."
