The Japanese team has done its best when designing NCRT Zauber reels. NCRT is a fairly dense polymer/carbon alloy. Thanks to this revolutionary technology, RYOBI NCRT reels are extremely light, durable and reliable. Ryobi has altered one of its most popular reels, Zauber. The new Zauber features a rotor, made of polymer/carbon alloy, and needle roller bearings. As a consequence, the new reel has become immensely light. The Japanese technicians have managed to improve the shaft as well: they’ve made it more precise and accurate. The result is breath taking! The New Zauber delivers a super smooth performance, and a perfect line lay even with braided lines! What’s more, the bail of the old Zauber has been changed to. It has become stronger so that it won’t spring back when casting.
