CHRONARCH A-RB (Anti-Rust Bearings) are specially treated stainless steel ball bearings that are at least 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard stainless steel ball bearings. Lo-Mass Drilled Spool System reducing the weight of the spool by drilling, lowering start-up inertia for more manageable casts. (available on CH100BPV, CH101BPV, CH100B and CH101B models only) High Efficiency Gearing (HEG) is not only the oversized gears, but also includes the setplate and sideplate, which allow for a high speed retrieve while providing unbelievable fish-moving torque. Dartainium Drag material provides a wide range of drag settings and the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever. A7075 Aluminum Spool (on models 100B, 101B, 100BV, 101BPV) A7075 Aluminum is extremely strong, so we can use less material for lighter weight, which helps to achieve more manageable freespool. A6063 Aluminum Spool (on CH100BSV and CH101BSV only) this aluminum alloy provides extra corrosion resistance versus standard aluminum. Septon this handle grip material is soft to the touch and does not get slippery when wet. Assist Stopper is a back-up anti-reverse system that reduces the stress placed on the one-way roller bearing to increase durability. Super Stopper is a one-way roller bearing that eliminates backplay for solid hooksets. Super Free (SF) bearing supported pinion gear system eliminates friction between the pinion gear and spool shaft for increased freespool. Metal Series metal frames keep moving parts in precise alignment for increased efficiency and durability. Clicking Drag Adjustment reduces the chance of the drag backing off at light settings while providing the angler a reference point to how much drag they add or reduce by turning the star. PV Power Paddles These oversized paddle grips provide extra power and remain comfortable after a full day of deep cranking (BPV models only). SV Power Paddles The largest of the paddle grips provides extra fish fighting power when battling feisty inshore species (BSV models only). Ion Plated Finish This finish is extremely durable and is more scratch- and corrosion-resistant than paint. Recessed Reel Foot allows the reel to sit closer to the rod for comfort and maneuverability. Escape Hatch Easy to use trigger allows quick access to the VBS weights and keeps the sideplate smooth for comfort when palming the reel. Variable Brake System (VBS) uses centrifugal force rather than magnets to aid in controlling the cast for increased distance and adjustability. Cold Forged Handle Shank is much stronger than pressed or cast handle for non-flexing durability. Reduced Mass VBS hub reduces the weight of the spool increasing freespool and reducing start up inertia. Aluminum Frame Aluminum Sideplates
