MAG-DRIVE was developed in the pursuit of enhanced flight distance and better balance.
Using a sliding weight to first generate inertia and added heft further and work better than ever before. The sliding internal allowing the lure to maintain its axis when operating in conditions with current. Stable swimming, even in strong currents. MAG-DRIVE balances these challenges at a high level. When casting, the main weight slides down the shaft shaft to improve longdistance casting performance, and when swimming, it magnetically fixes in place to provide a responsive and sharp lure action.
Basic structure
Magdrive has a shaft & magnetic fixed structure. When casting, the main weight slides on the shaft to the tail of the lure securely. When swimming, the main weight is magnetically fixed to the front end of the shaft.

Castability
You can cast long distances under any circumstances!
In order to roll a spherical weight, some play in internal space is required> this inevitably causes the weight to wobble from front to back, and from side to side. When casting, this can cause you to lose your flight cause miscast or poor lure flight.
The shaft driven MAG-DRIVE has less weight and without extended play less wobbling allowing the weight to stay firmly at the rear, delivering stable flight distance.

When swimming
With non-fixed weights, they will move wildly when your lure angle or axis changes during retrieve. It will also be affected by load changes due to water flow or rod work, causing the lure to operate ineffectively. MAG-DRIVE magnetically fixed the weight in place reducing lure wobble and off axis operation. The weight does not move wildly, action sensitivity is also improved
