The latest Animas features a redesigned frame and spool showcasing advanced structural machining that increases rigidity while reducing weight, offering rock-solid stability even under heavy loads. Its ultra-large, bell-shaped arbor delivers rapid line pickup and reduced memory, while the improved composite drag system provides smooth, consistent stopping power across every setting. Built with a maintenance-free spool release and corrosion-resistant components, the Animas excels whether you’re swinging streamers, chasing trout, or pushing into salt.
