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.
“With the Performa XT Spinning reel, I can cast smaller finesse lures long distances – even into the wind. It’s an all-around smooth performer too. The drag is so precise and consistent, I feel confident challenging big fish on lighter line.
