In all this the Reaction VX excels brilliantly, with its large tapered spool which dominates in terms of volumes and proportions, in contrast to the very compact body. Thanks to the job done by the worm shaft, the fishing line is neatly wound in the spool’s core, with angled and crossed coils that don’t hinder each other when the casting force draws them quickly off the spool. A special subframe, inserted between the spool’s skirt and the structure of the rotor, prevents the fishing line from dropping down accidentally, putting at risk the safety of the entire system. The important work of driving the retrieve is in charge of a special aluminum handle, featuring a large rubber knob, whose arm is shaped to follow the profile of the rotor, without unbalancing the reel and without dispersing the force exerted by the user. In order to prevent the bail from flipping during the delicate time of casting, the Reaction XT is not provided with the automatic closing device, forcing the user to operate manually (Safe Cast System). Beyond the risk of rod’s breakage, this problem could endanger other anglers on the same water, because the fishing line, when breaking, would release the lead into an uncontrolled flight. The special frame which follows the spool during its vertical oscillation has two arms which prevents line from slipping below the spool’s skirt, thus avoiding dangerous tangles. The advanced drag system is based on large diameter’s disks, in order to disperse heat. The drag box is sealed by a rubber lining which keeps water and dust away.
