As one of the World’s largest fishing tackle companies, Shimano has an enviable reputation for design innovation, engineering excellence and manufacturing quality. Built up over many decades, Shimano’s reputation is one that we are justifiably proud of, and one that we look to build on each and every year. Purchasing a Shimano product is your guarantee of quality, a guarantee that you are getting the very best for your money. ‘You get what you pay for’ is as true today as it ever was and whilst there are cheaper alternatives out there, none match the quality, durability and all round performance of a Shimano. Whilst you look through the 2011 product range in this year’s catalogue, take time to consider not only our flagship ranges, but also our mid and lower priced products. These have been designed by the same experts who win new product awards worldwide and in many instances contain features taken directly from our most advanced products. The clearest example of this is the new P4 reel range. Totally Shimano and totally affordable the range has been designed for anglers wanting Shimano at an affordable price, yet it features our AR-C spool design which we also use on the award winning Stella! How’s that for affordable innovation?
