The reel rotor is crucial for winding the line onto the spool, allowing for smooth operation and efficient performance. Experience effortless handling and superior performance with our rotor's exceptional lightness!

Experience the advanced design of Shimano's MGL Rotor, featuring an asymmetrical rotor structure that enhances lightness and improves operability. This innovation ensures an unprecedented level of sensitivity and effortless handling for an exceptional spinning reel experience.

Benefits of a Lightweight Rotor

Benefits of a Lightweight Rotor

The lighter the rotor, the lower its inertia. Inertia is the property of a moving object that resists changes to its motion. For instance, when a train suddenly accelerates, passengers tend to fall backward due to their body's inertia, which wants to keep them moving at the same speed as the train was before it started to accelerate. A rotor designed for exceptional lightness enhances performance by minimising inertia, allowing for smooth and effortless handling.

The advantage of a lightweight rotor is that it allows the reel to start rotating easily with minimal effort, and it can also stop without much force. This design helps you notice the difference in resistance when you want to add more variety to your lure movements or execute delicate luring actions. Additionally, it enhances your ability to detect even the smallest bites from fish.

An asymmetrical rotor structure that defies common sense

In general, the line roller and bail return mechanism, which opens and closes the bail, are located on the same side of the reel. The rotor structure is symmetrical, with both sides having the same shape, ensuring balanced performance and efficiency during use.

Experience smooth rotation with our rotor for exceptional lightness. Enjoy effortless handling and superior performance! In Shimano's “MGL ROTOR,” the parts are arranged oppositely, creating an asymmetrical structure that challenges conventional design. This innovation reduces weight on the line roller side, resulting in an unprecedented level of light rotation.

The line roller has been optimised for weight reduction, while the bail is constructed from titanium for added durability. The carefully arranged rotor thickness ensures that the reel body remains robust without sacrificing performance. This design allows for smooth reeling with minimal effort, enhancing your overall fishing experience. You’ll also notice improved sensitivity, making it easier to detect subtle changes in the underwater current and those gentle fish bites. Enjoy the perfect combination of lightweight design and superior functionality.
