Engineered for silky-smooth reeling and uncompromising rigidity.
“MICROMODULE” is a precision-engineered gear system that uses ultra-fine teeth and a refined housing structure to deliver exceptionally smooth, ‘silky’ reeling. By increasing the number of gear teeth in contact, it enhances fluidity without compromising strength or durability.
Versatile brake system: Adjust on-the-fly with an external dial for any situation.
The SVS centrifugal brake system offers precise casting capability thanks to its exceptional casting accuracy. This design allows anglers to hit their intended targets effortlessly, enjoying the benefits of lightweight reels that enhance performance with exciting line leaps and long-distance casts.
Introducing the lightweight revolution: The new concept magnet brake system.
The Finesse Tune Brake (FTB) system, which is adopted in Shimano’s bait reels, is a magnetic brake system that eliminates the brake unit from the spool, making it the lightest spool in Shimano’s bait finesse history.
The reverse tapered spool corrects the winding shape and reduces spool vibration.
"MGL SPOOL Ⅳ" has achieved an optimal spool shape with a unique reverse taper design, enhancing both functionality and efficiency.
The spool, expertly designed for balanced line winding, minimizes shaking during rotation and significantly dampens vibrations while casting. This innovation delivers an exhilarating casting experience, making it feel as though the line is effortlessly unfurling into the distance.
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.
Effortless and precise fall speed control.
Experience the game-changing "FALL LEVER" from Shimano, engineered to effortlessly transform your fall speed adjustments with unmatched precision. Say goodbye to the struggles of the past—this innovative feature empowers you to adapt your fishing strategy on the fly. Whether you need rapid speed in intermediate waters or a slow descent near the bottom, the "FALL LEVER" puts you in full control of your fishing success.
Achieve quieter casting and effortless spool rotation.
Shimano's groundbreaking "SILENT TUNE" technology enhances the performance of bait reels by ensuring quick and smooth spool rotation.
Achieving rust-resistant bearings for long-lasting performance.
The S A-RB bearings are specially treated to significantly enhance the corrosion resistance of their metal surfaces.
ROD
Shimano’s innovative blank construction significantly enhances overall rod performance.
Shimano has introduced a cutting-edge construction technology known as "SPIRAL X" and "SPIRAL X CORE", utilising its proprietary design and manufacturing techniques.
This innovative design minimises rod torsion and compression, which can hinder an angler's ability to control fish or execute precise casts. As a result, it empowers anglers to achieve their desired actions with greater ease and confidence.
A next-generation grip that enhances the rod's lightness and sensitivity.
The rod grip plays a crucial role in enabling anglers to detect even the subtlest movements in the water. Utilising Shimano's "CARBON MONOCOQUE" technology, the grip is crafted from carbon material, designed to enhance vibration transmission through the combined benefits of its hollow structure and lightweight design.
This technology allows for a lightweight rod grip that delivers exceptional sensitivity to fish movements, seabed textures, changes in water flow, and other subtle details.
Unlocking rod performance: The next generation of guides.
The "X GUIDE" series represents Shimano's innovative high-performance guides that seamlessly blend lightweight design with trouble-free functionality, elevating casting to new heights.
Developed through a comprehensive analysis of line entanglement mechanisms, these guides embody the principles of being 'lightweight, strong, and tangle-free.
