Casting Performance That Redefines Limits:

While the Antares can handle just about any lure you throw at it, its real brilliance shines in finesse fishing. When you need to cast ultra-light lures with pinpoint accuracy, this reel redefines what’s possible. Finesse jigs, soft plastics, Ned rigs, and other bait finesse techniques? The Antares handles them effortlessly. And when it’s time to tie on a crankbait or swimbait, its powerful drivetrain is ready to perform. Whether you’re all about finesse or like to mix it up, the Antares brings unmatched versatility and precision to every cast. And when you hook into a larger than expected fish, you can be totally confident that the super smooth Cross Carbon Drag will give you the precision and control you need to overcome all situations.

 

The Antares owes its impressive casting performance to the cutting-edge SVS Infinity braking system and the latest Magnumlite Spool (MGL IV). Crafted from Ultra Duraluminium with a S3D design, it takes full advantage of Silent Tune technology to reduce even the slightest vibrations. This means casting lighter baits with less effort and achieving greater distances.

Unmatched Smoothness and Power

Inside its sleek magnesium frame, the Hagane Body protects Shimano’s cutting-edge MicroModule Gearing and X-SHIP technologies, offering buttery smoothness and unrivalled cranking power. With every turn of the handle, the Antares feels like an extension of your arm, offering a truly immersive fishing experience.

 

Adding to the thrill is the Exciting Drag Sound, which audibly enhances the fight when a big fish is hooked. Paired with the precision of the Cross Carbon Drag, every encounter becomes an unforgettable battle.
