DRT 140-150 VARIAL HANDLE

For use with winding resistance ultra max class big baits and giant baits 
over 300mm. The handle plate is extremely thick, allowing you to input 
action to the lure without power loss. The tungsten variable balancer 
system is position adjustable and prevents clutch return when adjusting 
the balance of the knob and casting. Equipped with DRT×WCZ flat knob as 
standard. The handle length can be adjusted from 140mm to 150mm. 

A high-power model designed for use not only on bass but also on various 
large lures and large fish.

Completely machined handle using 3D machining. The sensitivity and feeling
brought about by high precision and high rigidity will make you addicted
once you use it. It supports everything from standard lure winding to 
big bait, finesse, sensitivity and high response unique to metal 
materials, and even high power fishing around cover. 

The knob uses the industry's first material to provide a unique touch 
feel and sensitivity, and you can create your own VARIAL by changing 
the knob shape and color using optional parts. The main plate, which 
requires strength, uses A7075 (super duralumin) to achieve both 
strength and lightness, and the knob part uses aluminum + resin 
materials to pursue a winding feel with a weight distribution that is 
not too light. The LIVRE handle type center nut achieves the ideal 
50:50 ratio and is highly rigid and durable for everything from big 
bass to monster fish to salt water.

Counter balancer is removable and adjustable for distance to match.
