Ultra-Light Engineering Without Compromise
The Traxion 1 LW was developed with one goal in mind: delivering the lightest possible reel without sacrificing strength or durability. Machining the frame from a single block of aluminium eliminates the weak points commonly associated with cast reels, while the waterproof sealed drag system provides outstanding smoothness and reliable stopping power. The wide U-shaped spool increases backing capacity, improves line management and delivers rapid line retrieval, making the reel equally at home on small rivers, large stillwaters and streamer setups.
