Model 35 Extra Fine 35 Fine SD 35 Standard

SKU:25-SURF-LEADER-SD-35-SD

2025 year model

A serious surfcasting reel that punches far above its class. The Surf Leader uses Rigid Cast construction to suppress flex during the cast, translating raw power into distance and accuracy.

Rigid Cast structure to resist deformation under the load of a full power cast
Cold-forged HAGANE gear with X-Ship for a strong, smooth retrieve
InfinityDrive for light winding when dragging rigs through the surf
Parallel Body and long-stroke spool geometry for maximum casting distance
CI4+ construction with G Free Body for a light, well-balanced feel
X Protect water resistance against sand and spray

Distance, rigidity and durability — everything the surf demands.

HAGANE GEAR

A block of metal is pressed under high pressure and finished to micron-level precision without cutting. This unique technology, known as precision cold forging, produces gears that are hard, tenacious, and smooth to wind.

X SHIP

X-Ship provides improved gear durability. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This means the gears will stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. The added benefit is that friction between the spool shaft and gear are eliminated. This will enhance the casting performance of the reel with lighter lures, and allow for longer casts.

INFINITY DRIVE

The Infinity Drive structure is a more advanced version of the conventional X-SHIP structure that created exceptionally light winding. The main shaft, which had previously been supported by the pinion gear, is now supported by a new and unique low-friction bushing that significantly decreases frictional resistance. In addition, the main shaft has undergone a proprietary surface treatment and special processing to drastically reduce rotational torque, constructing a reel that can actively wind even under heavy loads.

RIGID CAST

Optimally balanced design of rigidity and lightness. By minimizing deflection of the reel caused by large impacts during casting, the timing of release is stabilized. As a result, accuracy as well as casting distance is improved.
