The two questions everyone asks
These are the objections.
Here are the answers.
Question 1 — Does CastGuard actually work?
YES.
"It really does. Even when you deliberately try to provoke the reel. It's almost unbelievable — but it's true."
Jan Olsson · +MagazineFishEco · 1 year on Genesis ONE
Question 2 — Does it reduce casting distance?
NO.
"I've never experienced that. If anything, the opposite. Once you begin trusting the reel, you often end up putting a little more power into the cast."

For fishing guides
"What a dream reel for fishing guides whose clients want to learn baitcasting but haven't quite mastered it yet."
Jan Olsson · +MagazineFishEco
For tournament fishing
"Perhaps this is also the reel that wins tournaments where every single cast matters."
Jan Olsson · +MagazineFishEco
The verdict — after one year
"Throughout the entire test period it behaved flawlessly and showed no decline in performance after being properly broken in."
