What's the difference between all different models such as SHZ, HZL,SHZL?
1 Answer
Tim,


The letters on the end of the model number will denote the gear ratio and the which side the handle will be on for the reel. H is for high speed at 6.4:1, SH for super high speed at 7:1. The L at the end of the model number denotes left hand retrieve. So:


SHZ: 7:1 gear ratio and right hand retrieve

HZL: 6.4:1 gear ratio and left hand retrieve

SHZL: 7:1 gear ratio and left hand retrieve
