New for Hardy is the 340-degree, color-coded disc drag. The drag setting can be identified with a simple glance as the red dots on the drag knob clearly indicate a stronger drag and lighter drag settings are indicated by green. The drag can be configured from zero to maximum in just one turn of the knob. The reel also features a captive spool release system to prevent the loss of any small parts when changing spools.
