Only the name remains the same. Totally redesigned and machined using a unique ”3 plane” milling technique, every aspect of performance, strength-to -weight ratio, line pick up speed and storage has been improved and as is often the case the distinctive new engineered ”truss” wall structures give Velocity a personality all its own. Bigger, faster, lighter and stronger. We also offer the 3x and 3.5x reel/spool options as found in ULA and Litespeed. The new Velocity is protected by our proprietory Hard Alox™ finish.
