DUEL - Automatic Gear Change
DUEL REEL FEATURES UNIQUE TWO-SPEED DESIGN
A new big-game reel from Duel sets a higher standard for two speed reel design and
efficiency. The unique design of Duel’s new two-speed enables the angler to shift
from a 3.4:1 ratio to 1:1 without taking his hand from the reel’s handle. When the
angler cranks the handle forward, the reel is in high gear (1). When the angler reverses
direction and cranks the handle backward, the reel is in low gear (2). This offers the
fastest gear change possible and is ideal for pumping a deep-swimming fish, especially in
a stand-up fashion.
‘DUEL SYSTEM’ AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
Two speed with automatic and istantaneous transmission. By simply inverting the rotation
direction of the handle, a different power ratio is inserted and therefore a different
recovery speed. Clockwise, the handle gives a rapid recovery; counter-clockwise, the
recovery is slow but powerful. The mechanism is completely silent and sealed in an
oil-bath. In every position the spool is always firm, without the play and the ‘returns’
typical of other systems. The ‘duel system’ gear is patented. The nitritened
hardened steel gears are in an oil bath and require no maintenance.
