Why is the SuperCaster baitcast reel different than any other baitcast reel?
Baicasting reels have improved over the years. There is no question about it. However, the way the reel works has essentially remained unchanged. The SuperCaster reel differs from all others in three areas: 1) The levelwind – There is no level.wind eyelet that causes energy dissipation, reduced casting distance and pulsing drags. In addition, as line comes off the spool during a cast, sometimes the line catches on other line wraps.

However, there is another benefit – ba
