Reel Bull's Eye

The Bull’s Eye is an ultra tough reel designed for long range saltwater surf and rock fishing, especially with large leads or over rough ground. The immensely powerful gearing, winch-like retrieve and metal HAGANE body combine seamlessly to deliver Shimano’s toughest long range reel.
If your fishing revolves around rough ground, heavy lead or long range fishing from rocks, where you need massive amounts of power and strength to overcome the conditions, the Bull’s Eye is the perfect solution. Reaching almost cult-like status around the world, the Bull’s Eye is a long range surf reel that has undergone a power makeover, without an increase in weight. At 540g it is remarkably light for such a tough reel, which makes it a pleasure to use, even when you are up against the toughest, most challenging situations.
Designed for strength and power the Bull’s Eye has super strong HAGANE Gears and X-SHIP. These two technologies provide the strength required to overcome tough situations, and the high torque 3.5:1 gear ratio enables you to keep winding when the pressure is on, without excessive pumping of the rod. But on lighter ground, or over sand, the Bull’s Eye still retrieves 84cm of line per handle turn, so it’s no slouch. The remarkable lightness is created by the use of a tough, rigid HAGANE Body made from aluminium. This not only protects the internal gearing, it creates a super stiff frame to ensure everything is held in perfect alignment. To maximise casting performance you’ll find the combination of Slow Oscillation, Aero Wrap II, Parallel Body and AR-C spool hard to beat and the Hi-Speed Drag can be adjusted is a turn from lock down (20kg) to fish-playing.

HAGANE

HAGANE is a Shimano reel design concept created to withstand continual use and extreme abuse. HAGANE is an innovation with built-in toughness and durability that works alongside Shimano's precision engineering. HAGANE is for all anglers.


HAGANEGEAR_RL_SP
HAGANE GEAR

The HAGANE Drive Gear is produced by Shimano’s coldforging technology, without the need for additional machining. This delivers a longlasting smoothness, strength, lightness and power at the very heart of the reel. Traditional diecast, machined gears are less durable under heavy loads.


XSHIP_RL_SP
X SHIP

X SHIP provides improved gear durability. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This increased support allows the gears to stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. X-Ship technology also eliminates the friction between the spool shaft and gear to further benefit anglers with enhanced casting performance and casting distance of lighter lures.


HAGANEBODY_RL_SP
HAGANE BODY

The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminate body flexing on the reel while fighting a fish. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power.


PARELLELBODY_RL_SP
PARELLEL BODY

PARELLEL BODY is designed to improve dynamic line flow from the reel. On many reels the spool is aligned slightly upwards towards the rod blank, but reels with PARELLEL BODY have the spool located parallel to the blank. The result: less line slapping on the blank as it travels towards the first guide during the cast, ultimately increasing performance.


AR-CSPOOL_RL_SP
AR-C SPOOL

The spool has a special spool ring shape. This creates a rectifying effect on the line and realizes both suppression of line trouble and long casting performance.


CI4+_RL_SP
CI4+

CI4 is a resin material reinforced with carbon fiber that is lighter and has a higher strength than conventional resin material. CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4 material.The rigidity and durability have been greatly improved from original CI4 material while maintaining the lightness of the material, making it possible to reduce the size and weight of the reel.


SA-RB_RL_SP
SA-RB

S A-RB bearings are put through the same process as Shimano’s A-RB bearings but feature shields on both sides of the bearings. These shields reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the rotation of the bearing.


ONE-PIECEBAIL_RL_SP
ONE-PIECE BAIL

ONE-PIECE BAILallows the line to travel unimpeded to the line roller. The seamless design reduces friction and decreases the chance of tangles or the line catching on the bail arm.
