HISTORY: 


Name/Series: CQR8000 - Sargus Spinning 

Construction:
  • One-piece machined aluminum gear box
  • Forged, machined, and anodized aluminum spool
  • Machine-cut alloy main gear
  • HT-100 drag washers provide smooth drag under heavy loads
  • 10 shielded stainless steel ball bearings
  • Infinite anti-reverse
  • Braid Ready to handle the strain that braided lines put on a reel
  • Friction trip ramp prevents premature bail trip when casting
Features:
  • A - Superline Spool: No backing needed because the rubber gasket keeps superline from slipping.
  • B - Eternal Alloy: Eternal Alloy is a revolutionary material that provides performance far exceeding any other material. Its unique atomic structure is impervious to any performance robbing corrosion, bumps, scratches, stresses, and dings that extreme fishing conditions can dish out. Eternal Alloy's strength and hardness are more than twice that of a typical titanium alloy. It is 3 times harder than steel and 6 times harder than aluminum. Unlike coatings which are placed over materials with weaker properties that eventually cause failure, Eternal Alloy parts are Eternal Alloy all the way through. The extreme strength and hardness of the Eternal Alloy spool lip prevents dents and nicks that decrease casting distance and damage line. There's no limit to how long Eternal Alloy parts can last.
  • C - Easy Access System: The EAS™ (Easy Access System) is the most innovative maintenance feature ever introduced in a spinning reel. By simply backing out one screw on the stem of the reel, the rear hatch opens and gives full access to the gearbox. Now you are able to grease gears and oil bearings in a matter of seconds. All parts are contained within the gear box so you won't have to worry about any parts falling out, which makes this system extremely easy to use. The EAS™ makes maintaining your reel easy, and the more you maintain your reels the longer they'll last.
