Product description

Advantages

Spare spool

A spare spool is included with the reel, but can be purchased separately. It is a machine-cut, aluminium product with high quality workmanship, so it will satisfy highly discerning anglers.

Bearings

The bearings in the reel are a fundamental parameter of this product. They are designed to increase the comfort of fishing by improving the culture of the reel. They are sealed and steel and therefore ensure high quality.

With front brake

The reel with its positioned front multi-disc brake allows immediate response to the movements of the towed fish. The brake system has been perfectly sealed, which translates into high performance.

Robustness

A reel characterised by robustness is synonymous with reliability and trouble-free operation. The robust equipment will satisfy the most demanding anglers, not only in extremely difficult conditions.

Smooth operation

The reel, which operates in a smooth manner, ensures quiet and light operation when fishing. It is where the line is stored, which is braked when the fish grabs the hook. When it works flawlessly, it makes fishing easier and more enjoyable.

Technologies

Rigid Cast

A technology that supports the elements on which the spool sits. It combines power and lightness to achieve long and accurate casts.

X-Ship

Drive technology that increases the performance of the reel. By moving the pinion towards the main sprocket, more power is transferred from the handle to the rotor.

SilentDrive

Technology involving the redesign of as many as 11 reel components to achieve the quietest possible operation.

X-Protect

Shimano-branded sealing technology to protect the reel's internal mechanisms from water ingress.

ARC Spool

Shimano brand technology based on a specially designed spool, which has a patented shape that allows the line to slip smoothly during casting.

HAGANE

Shimano brand reel design based on cold forged gearing. Such a gear is strong and offers greater resistance to overload than die-cast gears. The overall result is increased durability of the reel.

G-Free Body

G-Free Body technology has been developed to move the centre of gravity of the reel closer to the rod. This was achieved by raising the drive shaft by 19mm. This move has directed the centre of gravity towards the angler's hand, resulting in better ergonomics and easier use. The result is less hand fatigue when fishing.

Parallel Body

The use of Parallel Body technology in the body design allows the reel axis to be parallel to the rod. This ensures smooth line retrieval from the spool without creating unwanted friction on the first grommet, resulting in the ability to make much longer casts.

CI4+

CI4+ is an improved version of the original CI4. This material, with its exceptional technological advances, is characterised by a stiffness that exceeds by as much as 2.5 times that of CI4, and can only be found in Shimano's most expensive, extremely lightweight reels. With CI4+, it is possible to achieve significant towing power while maintaining reliability and no risk of deformation of parts.

INFINITYDRIVE

Key to the Infinity Drive technology is the improved support for the pinion gear, which results in a significant reduction in unwanted vibrations and provides smoother operation of the entire mechanism. As a result, the user experiences smoother and quieter operation, which is particularly important in delicate situations such as precision fish hauling.

SA-RB

SA-RB technology from Shimano is an advanced bearing system that is an evolution of the well-known and highly regarded A-RB solution. The most important feature of SA-RB bearings is their outstanding corrosion resistance, making them the ideal choice for extreme conditions such as offshore fishing or intensive use in variable weather conditions.

ONE-PIECE BAIL

It is an advanced solution that optimises the flow of line without any obstruction all the way to the reel. Its one-piece, seamless construction minimises friction, significantly reducing the risk of line tangling or the possibility of cutting into the reel arm. Thanks to this technology, anglers can expect smoother and more precise casting, resulting in more efficient and comfortable fishing.

CROSS CARBON DRAG

Cross Carbon Drag technology is a brake system that uses carbon fibre pads. It provides greater flexibility in settings and smoother operation during loading.

HI-SPEED DRAG

Shimano's Hi-Speed Drag technology is the fastest braking system that allows you to change the brake setting from free line release to fight mode with just a slight turn of the knob on the front of the spool.
