The mechanical design of the CLA is consistent throughout the series, but
improvements have been made to the CLA sizes 4-7 to support their use when
battling bigger fish. When comparing the CLA 4-7 reels to the smaller sized CLA
reels, you will find that they have a larger drag knob, handle and spool cap,
but most importantly, they have a STRONGER DRAG SYSTEM. To ensure smooth
performance with fast-running fish, these larger four sizes have also been
equipped with oil-impregnated bushings for spool rotation. The frame and spool
have also been reinforced to eliminate flexing. With a wide range of sizes
available, the CLA series is appropriate for any fishing application, including
Spey.
