OTHER FEATURES:
INFINITYDRIVE
INFINITY DRIVE is a new construction that eliminates sliding resistance and realises light winding in both load and no-load conditions. INFINITY DRIVE is a non-contact construction where the inside of the pinion gear does not touch the main shaft. This reduction in sliding resistance is achieved by the application of a special low friction bushing which holds the main shaft and in addition a by the application of a special surface treatment to the main shaft itself.
SILENTDRIVE
Removed ‘clicking’ sound and ‘handle play’ and overall improved smooth reeling.
45MM SPOOL
The long stroke spool has longer stroke compared to conventional spool designs. This longer stroke specification results in greater casting distance.
SUPERSLOW 10
Slower spool oscillation reduces the speed the line travels up and down the spool on the cast. This results less friction as line leaves the spool and reduced drag on the lead, which improves casting distance and accuracy.
RIGIDCAST
Rigid Cast technology balances strength and lightness of the main shaft to withstand the impact of extreme castingforce.
CROSS CARBON DRAG
The cross carbon drag provides a wider range of drag setting, along with the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.
HAGANE DRIVE GEAR
The HAGANE Drive Gear is produced by Shimano’s cold forging technology, without the need for additional machining. This delivers a long-lasting smoothness, strength, lightness and power at the very heart of the reel.
HAGANE BODY
The HAGANE Body is produced from high rigidity aluminium or magnesium. This creates stiffness and impact resistance, while at the same time eliminating flexing of the body.
XSHIP
XShip is a combination of features that work together to create much greater efficiency. By positioning the pinion gear close to the centre line of the large diameter drive gear, more power is transferred from the handle to the rotor.
AR-C SPOOL
Shimano ARC Spool is a patented spool design with an angled spool lip. This design enables the line to leave the spool with less friction and in smaller coils resulting in longer more accurate casts.
PARALLEL BODY
The Parallel Body feature implicates that the spool is lined out parallel to the rod. This results in the reduction of line touching the rod and subsequently this increases the casting distance.
S A-RB
Shimano S ARB bearings are high corrosion resistant ARB ball bearings with an extra shield for improved protection against sand, salt or dust.
ONE-PIECE BAIL
The one-piece bail wire has no gap for line to snag on during normal operation. Made of Stainless Steel, it reduces friction and allows the line to get onto the line roller quicker.
HI-SPEED DRAG
The "Hi-Speed Drag" is the fastest drag function ever featured on a Shimano reel. Only a very small turn on the drag knob will transit the drag settings from 'free spool mode' to the 'fight mode'.
