WHAT IS IT?
Bass Pro Shops Johnny Morris Platinum Signature Spinning
WHAT SETS IT APART?
The already popular Platinum Baitcaster now comes in a spinning version with the features you’d expect to find in a premium reel. The reel is built on a one-piece aluminum frame to resist loss of torque while keeping gears in alignment. Lightweight strength is expressed in an ultralight rotor assembly; fitted with a hollow stainless steel bail wire and premium roller for smooth, even oscillation. Forged, double-anodized aluminum spool resists corrosion and is designed to handle all line types. Inside, a Micro-Pitched Gearing System delivers precise meshing, allowing the stainless steel mainshaft, hard zinc drive gear and brass pinion to work together seamlessly. You get a smooth retrieve enhanced by premium 11 bearings (10+1) system, with paired bearings at pinion gear and drive gear. The six-disc performance drag system machined aluminum handle with Soft Touch knob adds to the performance of the reel. Gear ratios: 5.7:1, 6.0:1 Retrieve: Left/right.
HOW DO I USE IT?
Designed to outperform more expensive reels, you can complete your spinning arsenal with multiple reels in two sizes for different applications. The 2000 size has a max drag of 8.8 pounds with line capacity of 8/110 with 31 inches per turn. The 3000 has a max drag of 15.4 pounds with line capacity of 10/140 and 35 inches per turn.
