CastGuard™ – The Next Generation Cast Control Technology

Baitcasting is very challenging due to backlash and line overrun. Despite a long lasting problem, efforts has only produced new technologies such as digital brakes and inertial shifting magnetic brakes, but not a true problem solving solution.

CastGuard offers the ultimate solution with its mechanical brake system, based on the patented Transversor technology. The Transversor detects minor changes in spool rotation speed and engages the brake arm using Euler force once a deceleration threshold is reached.

Unlike other braking systems that depend on centrifugal force or magnetic force, CastGuard’s Transversor technology provides unmatched precision and control.

FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT APPROACHES

when handling line overrun, bird’s nest, professional overrun and tuning

  • Reacts when lure stop pulling the line
  • Is aware of the cast situation
  • Stand-alone solution
  • Adjustment free

Addresses the root cause of the problem – line slack

versus

  • Reacts to spool speed
  • Is only aware of spool speed
  • Does not work on its own
  • Requires manual adjustments

Addresses the symptom of the problem – spool rotation

The Automatic Thumb

CastGuard functions as an automatic thumb, similar to how you would instinctively place your thumb on the spool. It activates to reduce spool speed and prevent overrun when necessary.

  1. Measures the lure pull force on the line
  2. Inactive during spool acceleration
  3. Activates lure stops pulling the line
  4. Prevents line overrun and backlash through friction
  5. Deactivates when the lure starts to pull the line

CastGuard won’t interfere with you and requires not adjustoiments or tuning even when conditions change.
