CORESOLID BODY: The Integrally Molded Metal Structure for Unmatched Rigidity and Compactness

Shimano’s innovative “CORESOLID BODY” features a design that expertly balances exceptional rigidity with a compact form, making it easy to hold and maneuver with a simple palming technique, the standard method for gripping a baitcasting reel.

The robust and resilient construction is designed to handle heavy loads, remaining rigid even when anglers are reeling in large fish or pulling them out of cover. This guarantees steady performance throughout the process.

Unpacking the Challenges of Standard Low-Profile Bodies

One drawback of standard low-profile bait reels is their slightly reduced rigidity. These reels are typically constructed by assembling multiple components within the main frame. As a result, the abundance of parts can lead to a bit of flexing, even though they remain sufficiently robust for practical use.

A Highly Rigid and Highly Sensitive Solid Metal Body

Shimano's innovative "CORESOLID BODY" features a robust metal construction achieved by seamlessly molding the main frame, level wind protector, and side plate on the palming side into a single unit. This streamlined design reduces the number of components, resulting in a compact and highly rigid body.

This design enhances the grip on the reel, minimizing rattling and body flex. It offers robust strength and stable reeling performance, making it ideal for even the most demanding power fishing situations.
