If the bass are finicky, temperatures are down or the water is clear, spinning gear and finesse tactics are often the way to go. But when your line is light and the fish are big, an ordinary spinning reel just won’t do. You need the Tournament Class performance of a Performa™ XT. Superior smoothness, outstanding castability, and a waterproof Multi-Stack Drag that won’t let you down under pressure. Unbeatable for drop-shotting, shaky-head worm fishing and other finesse applications.

It’s built strong to last long, with a bevy of cutting edge features to help you get your string stretched even when using braid. We dare you to find a competing reinforced carbon fiber spinning reel that, feature for feature, can outperform it. Truth is, there isn’t one.
