How WaveSpin Eliminates Tangles
During the retrieve, on traditional spinning reels loops are
inevitably formed when small increments of slack line are reeled
onto the spool. With a standard smooth spool these loops often crawl
together forming a hair pin or even a twisted loop that overhangs
the spool lip (fig. 1). During the cast, a
high-speed, high-energy line is pulled tight against the spool lip,
engages the loop and snatches it and all the line spooled on top of
this loop off in the form of a "birdnest." With WaveSpin,
as a loop forms across the face of the spool, it is forced to exit
and re-enter the spool through the paths of least resistance as a
single, tight loop at the base of the waves (fig. 2).
In the cast, as the line skims harmlessly over the peaks of the
waves, it never contacts the loops hidden safely down between the
waves. Loops leave the spool unnoticed in the normal sequence of the
cast and tangles are completely eliminated

Why WaveSpin Casts Farther
It is a well-known fact that a high-speed boat runs faster over a
wavy surface than on smooth water. When running on top of a choppy
water surface (the waves), it encounters the least amount of surface
friction. This allows the boat to run faster. This is because hull
friction and drag with the water are minimized by contact only on
the tops of the waves. The WaveSpin reel is designed using
this same proven principle. As the line leaves the spool during the
cast, it touches only on top of each "wave peak,"
producing a minimum amount of friction and drag, compared with
traditional smooth, round spool designs. Since virtually all
friction is eliminated as the line leaves the spool, you'll enjoy
longer and more accurate casts. |
