Q. What are main difference between Rage regular models and Rage Pro models ? A. The main difference between Rage Pro and regular models is that Rage Pro featuring our latest drag system  ,the MAXEL PATENTED KARMAN SYSTEM . The Karman System enables the spool shaft to connect more effectively with the drag lever. When the drag lever is in the Free position, the drag plate disengages with the spool smoothly even after a lengthy fight. This means the reel goes to zero drag without any drag force , it’s a breakthrough in case it comes to issues surrounding spool lock when a jig/lure gets snagged between rocks. Rage Pro models feature the unique One-Piece Drag Lever re-designed with  Advanced Preset Controller , an anti-backlash system with clicking sound . You can tell the difference by reel looking as the side plate design on Rage Pro is different  ,also all Rage Pro models use longer type drag levers which is more convenient for single hand fast control on the drag lever adjustment  ,the drag tension knob also looks different .
