X-Class: Precision Reimagined
The DRS12AX features a revamped gearbox that is significantly quieter and lighter than previous generations. With Fast Target Tracking™ (TT), it can track up to 30 targets simultaneously, providing instant vector data for collision avoidance. When paired with a NavNet TZTouch series display, the "Bird Mode" becomes available, allowing fishermen to find birds congregated over schools of fish at long distances, a crucial tool for tournament offshore fishing.
