FL: fluorocarbon line mode, P: PE braided line mode, NM: Nylon monofilament mode, XB: Monster Drive mode. XB mode with dial 1-3 are to cast heavy rigs in slim shapes, like metal jigs and vibration baits. XB mode with dial 4-8 are to cast bulky baits the longest. At these modes, DC brake system emits instant flash brakes to spool to prevent baits turning in air, to stabilize the flying position of baits.
