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.

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,

Special modes for jigging by electric reel.
■Manual Jerk Mode
Motor wind up the line while pressing the button. The winding speed can be changed anytime when anglers control the reel even during jig falling. By this mode, angler can easily control jig manually.

■Auto Jerk Mode
When pressing button, the motor will run at preset speeds, uptime, and uptime intervals. The jig moves according to the preset program. Wind up speed, wind up time and stopping time are adjutable by anglers.

■ Advance Mode
This is the mode which enables anglers to adjust the acceleration to move the jig. Wind up speed, wind up time, and acceration of winding up are adjutable. It helps reproducing high level one-pitch jerk by hand with electric reel jiging.

The GigaMax Motor utilizes a brushless design to provide high torque and high speed while maximizing durability.

Substantial improvement in spool-free performance is achieved by placing bearings in appropriate locations.

Thermo Adjust Drag is a control function designed to suppress abnormal heat generation of the drag to maintain stable drag performance. If the drag slips while the motor of the electric reel is on, the gear will idle and cause an abnormal heat generation in the drag portion of the reel. As a way to suppress excess heat, the speed of the motor is automatically reduced by the Thermo Adjust Drag when the drag begins to slip.

The e-Exciting Drag Sound is an electronic drag sound from the reel when a fish makes a run. This creates a modern solution to the mechanical clicker while adding excitement to an angler’s experience.

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.
