Housed within this tough exterior are seven double-shielded stainless steel ball bearings, plus a roller bearing, for smooth operation over the long haul. For flawless fish-stopping pressure, Performa XT spinning reels are equipped with Waterproof Multi-Stack Drag systems that keep moisture and impurities away from the washers and other key components. Every Performa XT Spinning Reel is also equipped with a high-strength machined aluminum spool – specially designed to maximize casting distance and ported to reduce overall reel weight. Unlimited Anti-Reverse™ – standard on both the PEF30 and PEF40 – eliminates handle play for bone-jarring hook sets. Anglers will also appreciate the built-in Resist Twist™ line roller, which significantly minimizes the line twist inherent in spinning reels. Even the Performa XT’s durable aluminum handle is unique. Its Quick Fold™ design lets you fold down the handle with the touch of a button for convenient transport or storage. When you’re retrieving a lure or fighting the fish, Fin Grip™ handle grips ensure maximum comfort and a secure hold.
