Technology & Highlights

Bauer’s 5-Axis CNC technology allows for multiple levels of depth in the spool face, creating finer spokes, more reinforced angles, and tighter tolerances. This results in optimized backing capacities, faster line retrieval, perfect rod-reel balance, and a premium surface finish with eye-catching symmetry.

The Zero Backlash Clutch locks down instantly without slipping, even under maximum drag. With zero start-up inertia, the reel offers consistent resistance from the beginning of a run to the end, reducing break-offs and allowing confident fishing with light tippet. Whether you’re battling a 100+ pound tarpon or the trout of a lifetime on 6X, the Bauer clutch gives you the edge.

The RVR’s debri sealed carbon fiber drag system keeps out the bad stuff out while maintaining our renowned smooth, consistent performance. Built for durability and reliability, it ensures you stay on the water longer—with confidence that your drag will perform flawlessly in any conditions.
