π§ Two spool depths β choose your setup!
β 21SLX15R (1.5 mm spool depth) β Ideal for 4-6 lb fluorocarbon or PE lines
π‘ Perfect for: Drop shot, Neko rig, ultralight hardbaits
β 21SLX29R (2.9 mm spool depth) β For 10-12 lb lines & slightly heavier rigs

π§ Installation & important tips
π Additional magnets recommended for model 21SLX15R!
- Due to the flat design, the brake sits further away, which leads to less braking effect.
- Solution? Simply add 4 x 1 mm additional magnets (up to 8 pieces, sold separately) onto the existing ones β and the finesse dream setup is ready!

β Avoid "thumbing" on the spool edge!
- Pressing directly on the edge can damage the anodizing.
- Instead, always stop on the winding surface!
β Spool line with care!
- Especially do not wind too tight with nylon β otherwise there will be unsightly pressure marks.
β Check & oil ball bearings!
- Factory treated with rust protection grease β degrease & lightly oil before first use for perfect performance!
