ENGETSU CT

Inshore sea TAIRUBBER game with this one unit.

Advanced functions are generously incorporated in a lightweight, low-profile, compact body. The new ENGETSU CT is attractive for its cost performance, condensing high performance features such as FALL LEVER and digital counters into an affordable price range. It is finished in a way that allows intermediate anglers as well as beginners to fully enjoy the real thrill of TAIRUBBER game. Evolution from the previous model includes a new type of FALL LEVER that does not make the handle rotation heavy even when the brake is applied, and a counter with a winding distance alarm function that makes it even easier to use. In addition, the handle has been lengthened from 51mm to 55mm to reduce the burden of winding and to achieve both reeling sensitivity. While updating the product, the total weight has been reduced by approximately 20g from the previous model. The lineup includes the HG and PG models are available in right- and left-hand drive versions, respectively. The specs are rock solid and can be used in a wide range of situations, covering the full range of TAIRUBBER game in coastal waters.

KEY FEATURE

Achieves both braking performance and light winding. A new fall lever that realizes advanced strategies.

Along with constant speed winding, the temptation of the fall is an important key to the tairaba game. If you can control the fall speed to match the activity of the red sea bream, sometimes slowly and sometimes quickly, you will have a greater chance of getting a bite. The fall lever installed on Shimano's double-axis reel is a groundbreaking mechanism that allows you to freely control the spool rotation during the fall with one touch, faithfully executing the fall speed that the angler envisions. It not only adjusts the sinking speed, but also makes the line more efficient by quickly passing it to the desired depth of water, or conversely, you can intentionally angle the line with a slow fall with the brake applied, creating a variety of attacking patterns by using it flexibly. Moreover, the 25 Engetsu CT adopts a NEW fall lever that was previously only equipped on higher-end models. Even if you switch to winding with the brake applied, the handle rotation does not become heavy, and the light winding feeling creates a high-quality, stress-free constant speed winding.

 

The winding distance alarm supports a streamlined approach.

The winding distance alarm newly installed on the Engetsu CT is a new function that detects the winding distance without looking at the water depth display on the counter. Measurement begins from the point when winding begins after the line hits the bottom. A sound will sound up to three times at multiples of the set distance, so you can tell the winding distance by the sound without looking at the counter. For example, in the case of a 5m setting (A-5), a notification sound will sound a total of three times every 5m from the bottom to 15m, informing the angler of the winding distance. This function allows you to make intuitive judgments by hearing the captain's instructions such as "There is a reaction at ○m from the bottom" and "Raise ○m when it hits the bottom" without looking at the counter. This is a new function that allows you to concentrate more than ever on the specified depth when winding from the bottom.

Making learning to wind thread easier.

The line winding learning function memorizes the relationship between spool rotation and the amount of line wound in the digital counter, and uses this relationship to display the water depth. In addition to the learning function of the conventional model, it is equipped with learning data for PE 0.6/0.8/1.0/1.2/1.5, which are frequently used for this size.

Regardless of the amount of backing, as long as the specified line is wound up to about 1 mm from the outer diameter of the spool, it can be used within a practically sufficient margin of error.

 

※Caution for use

The specified line learning is the standard learning value when the specified line (Shimano PE line) is wound, including the underline, up to a position of about 1 mm from the outermost diameter of the spool. The accuracy may decrease depending on the type of line you actually wind, the line tension, and the outer diameter after winding. If you want more reliable accuracy, please learn in E1, E2, L1, or L2 mode.

It is 20g lighter than the previous model. The lightweight and compact body is perfect for beginners.

In addition to renewing each part, such as the new fall lever and new line counter, the handle of both the PG and HG has been lengthened from 51mm to 55mm. This reduces the burden of winding. As with previous models, the main body uses a rigid HAGANE body, but by reviewing the details, the weight has been reduced by 20g compared to the previous model. The PG model, which is easy to wind at a stable and constant speed, is equipped with specifications that are reassuring for beginners to tairaba games.

FEATURE

Level wind interlocking

Structure in which the spool and level wind are interlocked.

Rig can fall smoothly by straightening the release of the line. The drag operates smoothly during the fight, making it safe for fishing with fine lines.

NEW FALL LEVER

Easier operation and improved reeling sensitivity. New shape & new mechanism NEW FALL LEVER.

The NEW FALL LEVER has a new shape with an indentation on the top surface for improved fit. In addition to improved operability, such as the ability to make instantaneous, delicate adjustments as needed, one-way roller bearings are mounted inside to maintain the lightness of the winding. Light winding feeling is not lost even when fall tension is applied.

55mm long double handle

The long double handle, redesigned from 51mm to 55mm, was designed to meet the demand for easy reeling. The balance has been adjusted so that the PG model, which is easy for beginners to wind at a constant speed, as well as the HG model, reduces reeling weight while maintaining the sensitivity that is the strong point. Combined with the gear ratio that has been changed from 7.8 to 7.3, the usability of the system has been improved.

Fall speed display

Fall speed is also thoroughly controlled.

Fall speed and winding speed are displayed on the LCD screen. At the same time, the depth display can be grasped, allowing anglers to accurately grasp the bite pattern and the bite depth layer.

CARBON CROSS WASHER

High performance even when using fine line.

CARBON CROSS WASHER are used for both good sliding performance and high durability. The synergistic effect of the level wind interlocking allows the drag to start moving surprisingly smoothly. It is possible to cope with the plunge of large sea bream with ease.

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.


XSHIP_RL_BT
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.
