About these figures

Tap a size to see its current eBay listings at the top of the page. Bearings = ball / roller. Line capacity is the maker's guideline. PE is braided line (polyethylene fibre); its Japanese size number (go, 号) marks thickness, not breaking strength.

Max lift is the maker's figure for how much weight the motor can raise. Where the maker publishes more than one figure, we show it as written under the converted value. JAFS figures follow the Japan Fishing Tackle Manufacturers Association's common test.
