Propulsion
This area was the most difficult area to improve. Most spinning anglers have resigned themselves to the fact that spinning reels inherently twist the line in their design. They also understand that the nature of the basic spinning reel mechanism also lends itself to the occasional backlash or wind knot that comes with line being loosely packed onto the spool. These concerns are alleviated with the 5-component Propulsion Line Management System.

1: The most obvious component of the Propulsion Line Management System is the new Propulsion spool lip design. Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations it has been determined that this new spool lip design provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design while preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming. It also allows the line to flow off of the spool in smaller loops during the cast which means less slap on the stripper guide. This means longer casts with less friction. The Propulsion spool also utilizes a long stroke design to further enhance the casting distance. Furthermore, there is less "bouncing" of the line on the spool lip like on a standard spinning spool. Because of the unique shape of the Propulsion spool, the line flows consistently off of the spool. So, with a standard spool, friction alternates from heavy to light as the line slaps the spool lip. This causes backlash and inconsistent line speeds. The Propulsion spool lip provides consistently light friction to overcome these situations.

2: The second component of the 5-piece Propulsion Line Management System is the SR One-Piece Bail Wire. This feature was first introduced on the Stella FB and allows the line to travel unimpeded to the line roller. Its seamless design reduces friction and reduces the chance of tangles or cuts to the bail arm.

3: The third component of the Propulsion System is the oversized Power Roller III line roller. This specially grooved line roller is designed to reduce twist caused by repetitive casting and retrieving, and its large diameter assists in reducing friction and line memory.

4: The fourth component of the Propulsion System is a redesigned bail trip mechanism. This bail trip allows the angler to easily trip the bail by turning the handle, while reducing the chance of the bail closing during the cast prematurely.

5: The final component of the Propulsion System is the S-Arm Cam. This protruding surface on the bail arm serves to keep the line in contact with the line roller even in slack line fishing such as vertical jigging or drop-shotting. So, once the line gets to the roller, the cam keeps the line in place, rather than allowing it to fall back off onto the bail wire which would increase the risk of knots, loops or tangles.

Overall, the entire Propulsion Line Management System provides the angler longer casts, with less effort, while drastically reducing the chance of backlash, wind knots or tangles.
