Tekota's legacy of durability continues with the fully redesigned Tekota A. Vast improvements have been made; including Coreprotect water resist to increase corrosion resistance; an easy to replace anti-fogging lens (LC models);
These reels are a trollers dream and the perfect cross-over reel for both freshwater and saltwater species; from walleye to tuna
Coreprotect provides water resistance without creating a heavy rotation feeling. There are three key areas of the reel that require protection; the roller clutch; the body and the line roller
This reels's HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body stiffness and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power. It's efficiency through strength
These bearings have been through the same process as Shimano's A-RB bearings; but feature shields on both sides of the bearings that reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the bearing's rotation
