Given the success of the first Captiva spinning reel over 5 years ago, Penn updated and upgraded one of their proven sellers. They strengthened the frame while still maintaining a sleek appearance, the result is a graphite body reel with less flex. They have also upgraded the handle which now threads directly into the main gear, thus creating an extremely solid feel with no backplay. The 2nd generation of Captiva reels is here. Eight Stainless Steel Ball Bearings. Infinite anti-reverse roller bearing. Long-cast aluminum spool. Lightweight graphite body. Techno-balanced rotor gives smooth retrieves, even with high cranking speeds. 200yrds/12lbs. Gear Ratio 5:2:1
