Technologies
S ARB
Shimano S A-RB bearings are high corrosion resistant A-RB ball bearings with an extra shield for improved protection against sand, salt or dust.
Hypergear
The precision engineered main Hypergear transmits more power from the handle to the rotor.
Designed to exacting tolerances, it requires less effort but returns more retrieve playing torque with vastly reduced component wear.
ARC Spool
Shimano AR-C 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. AR-C spools are proven to reduce backlash and wind knots when using braid.
Waterproof Drag
Using special protection gaskets, the drag is protected against the intrusion of water for more consistent drag performance.
Baitrunner System
Baitrunner is a lever located on the rear of the reel that allows the reel to be set so that line to be released in controlled free spool.
XT7
XT-7 is the original Shimano composite reel material, it is reliable, robust and lightweight.
Cold Forged Aluminium
Cold Forged aluminium is used for some ‘round’ reels, fly reels and is also used for many types of spool. Made from one single piece of aluminium Cold Forging produces great strength.
Two Speed Oscillation
The spool moves at 2 different speeds.
Aero Wrap II
Aero Wrap and the advanced Aero Wrap II is a worm gear oscillation system with a specially designed pitch to create optimal oscillation speeds. This provides superb uniform line lay to reduce loss of energy during the cast. Aero Wrap II is considered one of the best line lay systems in the world.
Easy maintenance
Easy Maintenance is a small oil lubrication port that enables direct lubrication of the inner workings of a reel with approved Shimano lubricant. Some high end Shimano reels have a line roller lubrication option.
Floating Shaft II
The key friction area on most fixed spool reels is where the spool drive shaft meets the pinion. Shimano designers have overcome this by reducing a large percentage of surface area contact and incorporating bearings on either side of the shaft. The resultant design leaves the shaft in a ‘floating’ position, considerably improving efficiency and longevity.
Super Stopper II
Super Stopper II eliminates backward movement and free play in the handle when the reel is set in anti-reverse.
DynaBalance
Dyna-Balance reduces wobble during the retrieve by counter balancing the rotor to enhance sensitivity and smoothness. By using computer balancing Shimano are able to redistribute the rotor weight to create eliminate vibrations.
Power Roller
The special grooved design of the Shimano Power Roller significantly reduces line twist and is a big advantage when using thin mono and braid.
