Chromium Spinning Fishing Reel

Weight
In a world of “SEALED” Saltwater Capable Reels, you’ll find that our 8.8 oz Chromium Spinning Reel Product Line stands on its own merits when many of our actually SEALED competitors come in weighing equal to or more than the CRSP-2572 and CRSP-2561 and often times with fewer WATER RESISTANCE features.

Gear Ratio/Line Retrieval Rate
While most of the industry standard traditionally tops out at 6.2:1 and below, you’ll find that our 7.2:1 Chromium CRSP-2572 allows for a faster Line Retrieval Rate, of 38” per turn, while the 6.1:1 Chromium CRSP-2561 has a Line Retrieval Rate of 32” per turn.

Drag Knob Assembly
We decided to increase the WATER RESISTANCE, strength and durability of our Drag Knob Assemblies by utilizing Brass Drag Nuts housed in Carbon Reinforced Nylon and Stainless Steel Housings, while simultaneously pairing them with Rubber 360 Degree Fitted SEALS. We did this to improve the WATER RESISTANCE of the Drag Stack Cavities, limit breakage, and increase the amount of applied tension possible.

Spool Shaft
We utilized Stainless Steel to ensure rigidity and long term durability, and to decrease the potential for pitting from corrosion and potential distortion. To further increase operational efficiency and stabilization we even made sure to support the Spool Shafts with rare dual-supported Oscillation Sliders, each with an additional 3x6x2 Micro Bearing for smoother performance.

Drag Washer System
We introduced rubber 360 Degree fitted SEALS between the Drag Knobs and the 3pc Floating Carbon Fiber Drag Stack Cavities with Stainless Steel Spacers, and an Audible Stainless Steel Drag Click System all to limit the potential for Drag System Failure, maintain Drag Consistency, and reduce potential failure due to Rust and Corrosion. 

Spool
We chose to utilize Closed Faced “Braid Ready'' Anodized Aluminum Spools, with SEALS (as mentioned above) to protect the Carbon Fiber Drag Stack Cavities, by restricting access to damaging elements such as saltwater to increase corrosion resistance, therefore increasing the lifespan of the Carbon Fiber Drag Washers and Stainless Steel Spacers contained within. 

Braid Capacity
for the CRSP-2572 and CRSP-2561 “Braid Ready” Spool are as follows: 10lb/.15mm @130yds, 20lb/.23mm @90yds, 30lb/.28mm @80yds

Bail Wire
We chose to utilize Graphite Rotor Brackets and Hollow Stainless Steel Bail Wires to increase the strength and durability of the entire automatic Bail Wire Trip System. By introducing these particular Bail Wires and Rotor Brackets we were able to maintain rigidity and balance the strong Carbon Reinforced Nylon Rotors without the necessity for additional counterbalance weighting system components commonly subjected to wear, tear, and potential failure.

Line Roller Parts Group
At first glance you might not notice, but we increased the strength and durability, for superior performance by introducing a Titanium-Coated, Hardened Brass Line Roller. The use of machined Aluminum is generally quite common across manufacturers, but are more susceptible to damage than the Hardened Brass of our Chromium Spinning Reel Product Line. What’s not so common is going the extra distance with a Titanium Coating to further harden and protect this part. By adding this Coating we further protect the long term smoothness, but we also increase the lifespan by increasing its resistance to wear, tear, heat, corrosion, and rust. We keep it all running smooth on a better protected, easily accessible 4x7x2.5 Stainless Steel Bearing. 

Pinion/Rotor Retainer Nut
To complement the durable, corrosion resistant, Brass Pinion Gears, we decided to pair them with Brass Rotor Retainer Nuts to maintain overall and synergistic Thread Strength, while increasing long term durability to maintain consistent fixed tension on the balanced Carbon Reinforced Nylon Rotors. To make sure they're all retained in a fixed position, we utilized Fixed Stainless Steel Rotor Nut Retainer Systems to increase strength and reduce the ability of the Rotor Nuts from working itself loose, which ultimately increases the lifespan of the entire Parts Group.

Clutch Box
Under the Carbon Reinforced Nylon Rotors we have done a lot to increase the durability and lifespan of the Clutch Boxes and their Internal Components. To begin with, we added Rubber Bearing Sleeves directly underneath the Rotors to aid our WATER RESISTANCE features such as the FULLY SEALED Stainless Steel 7x14x4 Saltwater Bearing with removable Side Shields that they house and protect. Below that you will find an “Anti-Reverse Only” 17x12 Roller Bearing Clutch and Sleeve System (ARO). By eliminating the generally useless Anti-Reverse Switch Systems we continue to reduce access to damaging elements and the amount of Components that are subject to common wear, tear, and potential failure. Directly below the ARO Clutch Systems, you will find another FULLY SEALED Stainless Steel 7x14x4 Saltwater Bearing with removable Side Shields to even further restrict access to damaging elements such as saltwater and aid in the stabilization of the Pinion Gear. Because the Clutch Boxes technically can allow access to the Gear Boxes, it becomes necessary to SEAL them up as much as possible to limit damaging elements from making their way through.

Frame/Gear Box
To begin, I’d like to take a moment to recognize just the amount of WATER RESISTANCE features we have built into this Spinning Reel Product Line to SEAL the Gear Boxes as much as possible. By going this extra distance we create a longer lasting reel for Kistler Chromium Owners.

Handle Assembly
Finally we decided to power the whole Spinning Reel Product Line with Gear-Direct Connected Woven Carbon Fiber Cranking Handles, Aluminum Crank Spacers, and comfy yet durable EVA Handle Knob supported by 2 conveniently accessible Stainless Steel 4x7x2.5 Bearings to maintain performance.
