Created to commemorate America's 250th anniversary, this limited-edition Red, White & Blue X Series XM is a limited production honoring 250 years of American independence and American manufacturing. The XM is built for everyday freshwater fishing. Matched to a 4- or 5-weight rod, it’s the right tool for trout on rivers, bass in lakes, and the most common freshwater species most anglers pursue. Approachable enough for someone new to the sport, the XM is capable enough to stay on your rod for years. This America's 250 Edition is built for anglers who demand the very best—and appreciate owning a reel as rare as the moments it's made for.

Carbon fiber and Teflon. Smooth drag built for light lines.
The XCT Drag System
The XCT drag combines carbon fiber and Teflon discs to deliver consistent, friction-free resistance at light drag settings where it matters most. At 3 and 4 weight line classes, startup inertia -- the sudden jerk when a fish first runs -- is the most common cause of broken tippets. The XCT eliminates that. Drag engages instantly and releases line without hesitation, giving you smooth, predictable control from the first run to the last.
What It Is
Carbon fiber and Teflon disc drag system, sealed against water and debris. Tuned for light to medium drag settings with consistent performance across the full adjustment range.
What It Means on the Water
Set your drag before you fish and trust it. No startup jerk, no tippet-popping surprises. Smooth engagement from the moment a fish takes line, whether that's a 10-inch brookie or your first fish ever.
