INTRODUCTION

For decades, Shimano has been well known for our high quality reels. Anglers have come to expect that all our reels are produced to the highest standard and offers long-lasting enjoyment. Because of this, Shimano constantly innovate our products to deliver the best reels in the market. As we step into this new decade, we have spared no effort in showcasing to you the fruits of our passion. Our objective is to challenge the anglerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perception of what is possible and to create the reel of their dream. The perfect angling experience is a combination of sight, smell, sound and feel. See the vast ocean, smell the salt of the sea, hear the drag and feel of reel. Our engineers are pleased to help satisfy the last two elements with the NEW OCEA JIGGER. Re-designed with a more compact body, this jigger is more ergonomic than its predecessor. A new design drag provides an exciting whirr which only anglers will appreciate! Another challenge we set out to do was to push the limits of angler expectation. We began to introduce technology normally reserved for our Stella. The new Twinpower now features the X-ship system with a new designed crank that represents a new breakthrough in fishing reel design. We began to incorporate more use of the CI4 material into some new reels, notably Thunnus CI4. Rod development is also entering a particularly exciting phase. Following feedback from our anglers in the region, we introduced some new series, namely the Lurematic and Cruzer rods. Our Lurematic rods are medium heavy to heavy action to cater to the fishing style of our region. The Cruzar rods are made from heavy-duty glass material to increase durability without additional cost. The Cruzar will also be the most affordable rod in our stable At Shimano, we never rest on our laurels. Constant innovation is our mission and bringing a more satisfying angling experience is our goal. Closer to People, Closer to Nature.

SW Outstanding!! Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just how the AR-C spool performs. The spool with its radical lip design has specially been engineered to allow supreme distance casting with minimal wind knots. The multiple taper of the spool lip has been precisely calculated to ensure that there is virtually no line slap when the line flies off following the contours of the spool lip.The multiple taper also prevents lines from springing loose even when the spool is well filled, reducing the chances of wind knots.

Inside the heart of AR-C spool lies the high density drag washers. Unlike other conventional washers, these washers have more drag fibers per square inch inbuilt into them. The result? Smoother, stronger and more consistent drag capabilities with excellent heat dissipation and less wear.

The oversized line roller not only dissipates heat more quickly, but it also allows for extra heavy duty wind-on leaders to be wound directly onto the reel without catching onto the bail arm. This roller is secured in place by primary and secondary locking screws to ensure that the roller never works itself loose. The one piece bail arm allows for a smoother flow of the line to line roller eliminating line entanglement.

Cold Forged Gears have higher molecular density and the metal grain structures are forged to follow along contours of the gear tooth. As the longitudinal grain structure is kept intact, the gear is structurally stronger and durability is improved substantially. Add to that the special barrier gear coating that decreases friction and increase durability and gear efficiency by up to 50%, this gear system is nothing short of extraordinary.

The Hyper Disc Drag and Hyper Twin Disc Drag systems are A-RB supported waterproof drag systems that consists of multi-layer drag stacks utilizing the latest carbon fiber drag material. This material has virtually no start up inertia and maintains drag consistency throughout the different drag ranges. The Hyper Twin Disc Drag that is found on the bigger SWs, consists of additional oversized drag washers on the underside of the spool skirt as well. This gives an even higher usable max drag output; whilst maintaining long term reliability with virtually no drag fade. With these new drag systems, lines breakage due to drag spikes are eliminated.

The Stella SW comes with load of improved features to bring SW fishing for anglers to its next new level. Line Propulsion Management System consisting of enhanced line roller design ensures zero casting failure, Bail arm is of Die cast alloy & hard chrome for durability against line cuts as well as One Piece bail resulted in optimum casting performance.

Line Capacity [lb/yds]

Overall weight of the Stella SW reels are now lighter than previous Stella FA reels to reduce fatigue for anglers during Popping or Jigging. Coupled with other improvements like Lightweight Alloy construction, AR-C Titanium Lip spool, & Paladin Gears results in a potent reel for serious heavy Saltwater fishing.

Born of the same engineering pedigree as the world’s number one threadline – Stella, the TwinPower SWA (an add on to the Current TwinPower SW range) carves its own niche amongst the range of ultra-high performance reels that Shimano has become renowned for.

cranking power and strength from a heavy-duty cold-forged drive gear paired with a Brass pinion, near frictionless efficiency from intuitive design and reliability from decades of research and development unrivalled by any other manufacturer in the industry.

The TwinPower SWA will handle anything thrown at it and continue asking for more, displaying many of the same qualities that make the Stella so successful and Shimano a pioneer in heavy saltwater sportfishing and jigging applications.

All these features are housed in a water-proof hybrid aluminium body which is then super-charged by the same Hyper-disk drag found in the Stella SW.

CI4 stands for “Carbon Interfusion” with the “4” referring to the number of electrons in the Carbon atom. Ultimately, this means CI4 is reinforced Carbon Fiber.It is over one and a half times stronger than our normal XT-7 graphite and is over 20% lighter. Because it does not contain metal, it is impervious to rust.So, as a result of its strength and weight, we can create an extremely lightweight reel with very precise tolerances. Shimano other hallmark designs were also spotted on this reel: Cold Forged drive gear & Hard Brass pinion gear resulted in a reel with strong cranking power. CF ARC Spool design guides line out of the spool effortlessly during casting. The use of 6 S-ARB, One Piece Bail and Machined Handle translated into a smooth & agile reel. Available from 1000 to 4000 size. Line Capacity [lbs/yds]

Beyond Perfection ...

Outstanding!! That’s just how the AR-C spool performs. The spool with its radical lip design has specially been engineered to allow supreme distance casting with minimal wind knots. The multiple taper of the spool lip has been precisely calculated to ensure that there is virtually no line slap when the line flies off following the contours of the spool lip. The multiple taper also prevents lines from springing loose even when the spool is well filled, reducing the chances of wind knots.

“Beyond Perfection; that’s what we call the Stella SW. Following years of research and fieldtesting, our dedicated Engineers have spared no effort in improving the functionality of new Stella SW range. We are now proud to introduce the all new SW lineup.”

Stella SW features the long casting ARC spool lip that releases the line effortlessly throughout the cast; superior distances are assured every time. This casting distance is further enhanced by the Aerowrap line laying that is essential when using PE lines. The new topless oversized line roller design accommodates even very heavy wind-on leaders and connecting knots.

The Hyper Disc Drag and Hyper Twin Disc Drag systems are A-RB supported waterproof drag systems that consists of multi-layer drag stacks utilizing the latest carbon fiber drag material. This new material has virtually no start up inertia and maintains drag consistency throughout the different drag ranges. The Hyper Twin Disc Drag that is found on the bigger SWs, consists of additional oversized drag washers on the underside of the spool skirt as well. This gives an even higher usable max drag output; whilst maintaining long term reliability with virtually no drag fade. With these new drag systems, lines breakage due to drag spikes are eliminated.

Add to this, the one piece bail wire sits on a chrome alloy bail arm that resists line cuts. This oversized line roller is secured to the bail arm via a primary and secondary locking system to completely eliminate the possibility of working loose due to boat vibrations. Best of all, the new Stellas are now even lighter than its predecessors, allowing you to fish harder and longer with minimal fatigue.

Cold Forged Gears have higher molecular density and the metal grain structures are forged to follow along contours of the gear tooth. As the longitudinal grain structure is kept intact, the gear is structurally stronger and durability is improved substantially. Add to that the new special barrier gear coating that decreases friction and increase durability and gear efficiency by up to 50%, this gear system is nothing short of extraordinary.

The Power Aero Spin Power reel is back with more than just a simple facelift. It is now smoother with A-RB bearings and 1 roller clutch bearing. Retrieve ratio has been increased to 3.9:1 to boost retrieve rate to approximately 89cm per crank. The spool lip taper has also been improved to allow for almost friction free release of line. The reel comes with 2 spools, both of which are constructed from aluminium which goes through an Alumite process to improve corrosion resistance even further. The 19kg twin drag system allows for a quick adjustment to reach your max preset drag during competition casting; but you can also use the twin drag feature like a baitrunner function. Oscillation rate is also enhanced to improve line lay to allow further casts, while the 1 piece seamless bail ensures that line does not have any opportunity to snag on the bail during casting. The Power Aero Spin Power is now available in 3.5 & 8 sizes and is the ultimate reel to use for competition style tournament casting or targeting games fishes off the beach.

The new Biomaster XT-B features the unique Shimano Baitrunner spool II which switches from free spool to pre-set drag effortlessly making it perfect for carp and specimen anglers. The 8000 size is a good mid-sized reel and the Cold Forged spool holds a huge amount of line for heavy fighting fish.

A - To get optimum accuracy to cast via pitching method etc. It brakes throughout the cast and it is used for short but accurate distance casting. It is ideal for pitching to cover in snaggy conditions and especially useful when matched with a glass rod where the reel will compensate for accuracy over the glass rod.

M - For lures with multi or shifting points of centre of gravity and where there is little vibration by the lure when it is in its trajectory state during the cast. This mode will stop overrun immediately after the cast via the circuit board to extend the casting distance.

W - In a head wind when the lure speed is severely affected by the wind, this mode cuts down backlash in this condition to give extended casting distance.

Antares AR

Aldebaran Mg7

The Antares AR reel pushes the limits in design for the ultimate in lightweight, all round performance by building on the design platform of the regular Antares as the best performing low-profile baitcasting reel around the castability of a 3/8 oz class type lure. Equipped with up to original Shimano A-RB (Anti-rust Bearings), the Antares AR can be fished in both freshwater and saltwater environments. Also, it has a generous capacity, enabling the loading of 100m of 14lb test line. The Antares AR is an extremely versatile, compact formed and beautifully finished low-profile baitcasting reel.

New Aldebaran Baitcast Magnesium reel was evolved from the outgoing Scorpion Mg series. The design concept was to have a compact featherweight reel & the Aldebaran achieved that objective with an incredible 155gram weight! Spool diameter was also reduced to 32mm, lightest & smallest in Shimano Baitcast range so that frame design could be as low profile as possible & longer free spins could be achieved with its lightweight Magnesium spool. With this breakthrough design, this reel is ideal for casting light weight of between 4gm to 10gm. Two available gear ratios of 5.8 for power crank or 7.0 for high speed retrieve. With Shimano proven SVS brake system, accurate & long distance casting is a breeze. Available in both Left & Right hand models as well.

The CALCUTTA CONQUEST is one of the most powerful and outstanding round-shaped, midsized multipliers in the CALCUTTA stable. Built around a solid forged Duralumin frame and a corrosion resistant finish, it is drilled for lightness to achieve that ultra cool look. The 300/400 are bigger versions that are ideal for targeting bigger, stronger species of saltwater fish that are not as common in freshwater. SUPER SHIP technology, a level wind that ensures proper line lay, together with a wider larger spool ensures super smooth casting performance. The use of carbon drag washers makes for excellent drag modulation. Equipped with up to 11 A-RB (Shimano Anti-Rust Bearings) that are 10 times more corrosion resistant than ordinary bearings and a 45mm long handle for powerful cranking, this is one versatile and powerful reel.

With a new motor, maximum winding speed is 160 metre per minute and fast winding speed could be achieved with this new motor. For a 3kg fish, winding up speed is 120 metre per minute while a 1 kg fish winding up speed is 131 metre per minute. Maximum winding up payload is 48kg. Maximum drag force is similar to previous Dendoumaru 4000HP model at 15kg.

Smooth drag is a very important considerations for all anglers and it is something that Shimano prides itself upon throughout our product line. Talica is no exception to the rule. However, being able to fish 3 to 4 line classes heavier than you would normally on a reel of its size makes Talica more fun to fish since you spend less time fighting your tackle and more time fighting the fish. What more, the Talica is light weight, compact and Pre-installed with an L.R.S. (Long Range Special) style drag cam, which is designed to provide maximum drag output for heavy settings , this is certainly a must have in your arsenal.

Fly-lining live baits. Catching big fish on small leverdrags. Common sense says that this is an oxymoron. Star Drags are better casters by nature. They have lighter spools because the drags are in the gears, not the spool. Lever Drags tend to have more power in the drag system because their washers are so much larger. With Talica 2-Speeds we set out to break the mold. We wanted to make a 2-Speed Leverdrag that could underhand a sardine 40 feet to the chum line with ease. We also wanted to increase the fishable drag capabilities of a small diameter reel to fish with heavy PowerPro and short Fluorocarbon top shots that anglers are using to land huge fish. We also know, from our successes with HEG (High Efficiency Gearing) in our Star Drag reels, that we could make the ultimate 2-Speed: one with fast line pickup compared to traditional 2-speeds but with unbelievable crank power in either gear ratio. So when you drop it into low on a circling Tuna at deep color, instead of gaining a couple inches, you are gaining around 2 feet.

TRN-200G

The TLD II A has over the years been a popular no nonsense reel that has a cult following. It is a lightweight, low maintenance reel that has proven to be extremely reliable even under severe conditions. Shimano has revamped the range with the TLD II A. Essentially we have kept all the time-tested features of the reel and beefed it up further with a Septon Power Handle. This Septon Power Handle has a longer throw length to further increase cranking power to make it even easier to pull stubborn fish from the depths. The TLD II A, like its predecessor also features 4 A-RB and comes with low and high gear ratio to increase fish fighting efficiency.

For spinning reels, all anglers want the Stella. For multipliers, there can only be one choice and that is the OCEA Jigger. Solid body construction? Checked! Saltwater resistance? Checked! Powerful and efficient crank? Checked! Simply the perfect package! We have gathered anglersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; feedback and put them into the new series of OCEA Jigger. To cater to different fishing environment, Shimano has developed 3 new sizes, the 1000, 1500 and 2000 series. The New sizes will also feature the new Shimano innovation, Exciting Drag Sound. The 1500 and 2000 size will also have 2 variations, power gear and high gear, to suit the fishing environment and jigs used.

This allows for a more ergonomic grip and comfort while fishing. The Jigger reels are indispensable reels when it comes to jigger. We have retained the existing 4000 and 5000 size to provide a complete offering. The 4000 and 5000 size is familiar to many with its functional reliability and durability, its oversized drive gear design and of course, strong and smooth drag power. With all these features, this jigger range of reels is our most complete offering to Jigger anglers!

The allure of the open sea never fails to entice the hardcore big game anglers to push their tackle and their physical endurance to the limit. Acknowledging their dedication to the sport, Shimano has specially designed and developed a rod worthy enough to fit their requirements. In the past, tackle manufacturers have only concentrated on jigging and popping rods due to demand; this left a void in the game fishing tackle development and left game anglers with no new technological breakthrough for years.

The exciting range of Exage 4-piece travel rods is a huge advantage when travelling around and it is a popular addition to the Shimano tackle range. The 4 rods within this range cover everything from light inshore work through to the demands of big fish in bluewater environments.

Triton Game is a new aggressively styled game rod that is designed to address this problem. Everything on the rod spells cutting edge technology. From the high power ultra slim composite blank, low profile Fuji CHBSG/ CHNSG and All American Roller guides, radius cut gimbal and ergonomic aggressor power grips, the Triton Game has just lifted the level of technology in gamefishing to a new level. So be it whether you love to soak a 2 feet long bonito as bait for monster Oilfish, Dogtooth Tuna, Giant Grouper and Mega Sharks, or are simply in love with the wailing of the ratchet on your Tiagra when a marlin taildances into the sunset, you can always count on the Triton Game series of rods to be ready and on the standby for you to put it through its blue water paces.

Shimano Shaula light tackle rod represents the dream rod for the idealist angler. Shimano wants to share this dream with the world & therefore World Shaula rod project was launched. We took 4 years to develop this rod in collaboration with fieldtester Murata. With lots of passion, use of high quality components & testing in different corners of the world, Shimano is pleased to present our highest class World Shaula Bass rod to you. Thoroughly tested for Freshwater & Saltwater fishing, World Shaula is up to any challenge, anywhere, anytime.

Exsence series of Sea Bass rods are most suitable for fishing in Bay area, river or shore. As each terrain needs different fishing styles, a range of rods with unique characteristics was born. CI-4 technology used on our reels was so successful that we used it on our reel seat as well. Fuji K guides & Hi Power blank construction to prevent twisting during casting or fish fighting. Finally the use of new Muscle Carbon material for Exsence range results in this finesse rod.

The revival of Scorpion XT rod rekindles the Scorpion spirit that has impressed anglers in the past. Shimano keeps basic principle in this rod design, such as casting, hooking & fighting. With the expertise of Murata, we adopt fighting grip design. The 1581F model features basic versatile rod suitable for single hand casting while the 15102R model adopt a semi double handle setup, both hallmarks of Scorpion legend. Scorpion XT rods are designed for challenging terrain with its crisp casting accuracy & X power construction to prevent blank twisting.

The Bassterra XT rods comes with a slightly lighter and softer tip action than the proven Bassterra rod allows fish to inhale the lure with better effect. This light tip action also gives some flex allowance that is required when using braided lines. This keeps tension on the fish at all times, yet absorbs all the shock on a jumping fish; making thrown hooks and busted lines a thing of the past. The Bassterra XT comes with Fuji Silicon Carbide guides, Fuji VSS/ ACS reelseats and a spiral guide concept system for the B60M baitcasting model. Try a Bassterra XT today and see how many more fish you can add to your stringer at the end of the day.

Light and powerful, the Bassterra exhibits the characteristics of what an ideal bass rod should be like. Cross Carbon Tape on the rod. increases strength during different angles of flex.

The Stinger Butterfly Whirligig is as what its name implies; a jig that whirls around in a circular motion when you jig it. An ingenious offset cut gives this jig the action identical to an injured baitfish in its death spiral. It is a particular deadly jig to use when there are schools of baitfish with bigger predators around that are picking on the stray and injured fish.

The Stinger Butterfly Centrevortex is a centre weighted jig that has a tighter and less erratic motion. It is perfect for instances whereby the target fish is chasing and attacking loose and fast swimming baitfish. A long stroke jigging style will bring out the most in this jig as it would entice the fish to strike by triggering it predatorial chase instincts.

The Stinger Butterfly Slidend has a most exaggerated swim action. Every single flick of the rod would see the Slideend dart sharply to the left and right. This jig is a must for fishes that like to attack out of sheer aggression. With its radical action, it has the ability to trigger even non-feeding fish into a feeding frenzy.

OCEA Pencil Introducing the new OCEA Pencil Poppers from Shimano. This series of Big Game poppers have been designed to tackle the large saltwater brutes such as GTs, large Mahi Mahi, tuna and Sailfish. Aerodynamic bodies give these lures superior casting abilities while lifelike appearance attracts fish like no other. A through wire construction with a tensile load capability of above 100kg gives you the assurance everytime you have a monster on the other end of the line. Available in floating or sinking variants, the Pencil is ideal even for very rough waters when a conventional chugger cannot be easily seen by the fish; or for situations when the fish are extrememly spooky and wary of conventional poppers. The OCEA Pencil has frequently been sneaking in the trophy fish while other anglers miss out on the action.

Popping Bait The Shimano popping bait is a hybrid between a conventional Chugger and a Pencil Popper. This neutrally buoyant lure is extremely easy to cast due to its profile and weight distribution. In the water, it can be worked either on or below the surface to target all manner of fish due to its neutral buoyancy. A consistent retrieve rate will see the popping bait create an enticing bubble trail close to the surface; while a twitch and stop walk the dog retrieve will see the lure skip on the surface yet sink back in to create an enticing and erratic bubble trail. The vesatility of this lure has made it capable of carrying out multiple styles of popping so that you can find tune the technique to suit what the fisherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preferences are during that session.

PowerPro 71

What is PowerPro? Shimano is pleased to welcome PowerPro as part of Shimano family These super lines are a perfect combination when used together with Shimano tackles for the ultimate fishing experience. The Ultra-strong braided Spectra® Fiber was processed with the Enhanced Body Technology(EBT) to create an incredibly round, smooth & sensitive line. Power Pro outperforms monofilament in any situation & leaves other superlines in the dust Older, first-generation superlines were made of abrasive aramids that could cut rod guides and take a toll on equipment. PowerPro solves these problems through super slick, non-abrasive Spectra Fiber composition and unique EBT processing. Other complaints about superlines arose simply because the technology was so new, and few people knew how to take proper advantage of it. The Using PowerPro quick guide takes the mystery out of using a superline and guarantees a satisfying fishing experience from the first cast!

How will

PowerPro change the way I fish?

for tying terminal tackle-stronger knot 1. Pass the line through the eye of your tackle at least twice, leaving 12” for your knot. 2. Loop the tag end around the standing line, then pass the tag end around the standing line, then pass the tag end through your loop 8 to 10 more times. 3. Pull the tag end to tighten the knot, making sure the 8-10 wraps snug down neatly. 4. Pull the standing line to jam the knot against your tackle eye, then trim the tag end.

In addition to enhancing your enjoyment and increasing your catch, PowerPro slightly changes the way you set up for a day of fishing. PowerPro works great with any kind of reel, so you don’t need any special equipment. Still, switching from mono to Powerpro is like trading your fly swatter in for a two-byfour: it takes a little care to get used to all that extra power!

Fishing with spinning reels

Spooling up

PowerPro is extremely strong, and nail clippers won’t cut it. We recommend sharp scissors such as fiskars® for kids, which are inexpensive, easy to find, and have blunt ends to protect your pockets. Or use the cutter on the EZ Spool Pak.

for tying PowerPro to mono of similar diameter 1. Lay PowerPro and monofilament parallel, with 12” to 18” tag ends facing opposite directions. 2. Loop the tag end of the mono around both lines, then pass the tag end through your loop 5 to 6 more times. Pull the tag end to tighten the knot, making sure the wraps snug down neatly. 3. Repeat step #2 using the PowerPro tag end, but use 8 to 10 wraps. 4. Pull on the standing lines to jam the two knots together tightly. 5. Trim the PowerPro tag end about 1/8” past the knot. Trim the mono tag end as close to the knot as possible.

Coloring PowerPro

palomar

Unlike monofilament, PowerPro will not stretch on the reel and cling to the barrel. This can result in line sliding around the barrel, which can seem like a problem with your drag mechanism. Rest assured, your equipment is fine. To avoid slippage, attach PowerPro to your spool using one of these methods: 1) If your reel has a hole or knob on the barrel, use it. 2) Leave at least 5 to 10 yards of monofilament on the reel (enough to cover the bottom of the spool) before attaching PowerPro with a Uni to Uni splice. 3) Put a piece of arbor tape on the barrel before attaching PowerPro.

Setting the hook Anglers on Saturday morning TV shows often set the hook in bass like Samurai warriors beheading the enemy. This may be a fine technique with monofilament line, but PowerPro doesn’t require such a violent motion. When you get a strike, relax; a gentle snap of your wrist will set the hook. Because PowerPro doesn’t stretch like nylon lines, you won’t get that rubber-band effect. Every inch you move your rod tip equals an inch of movement at the lure.

Setting your drag PowerPro lines are so small for their strength that you may be tempted to set your drag higher than normal, but remember, your rod or reel may not be designed to handle the same unbelievable loads as your line. To make full use of PowerPro’s amazing sensitivity without risking damage to your equipment, try one of the following tips: 1) Set your drag to match the weakest component in your tackle system. 2) Set your drag to match the size of mono line you would normally use. 3) When using ultralight equipment or line (5- or 20-Ib. test) set your drag to no more than 1/3 of the line’s rated strength. You can check the drag with a fish scale. At lower drag settings, a little extra line may pay out at the hookset, compensating for PowerPro’s lack of stretch.

For optimal PowerPro performance on your spinning reel, we recommend closing the bail manually. While your bait is falling, pull on the line to make sure it is seated firmly on the reel, then begin your retrieve.

Retie your line

If your line starts to feel soft or mushy on the reel, especially when fishing with light baits, you should repack your reel. Make an extra long cast or let the line out behind your boat, then reel it in while holding the line taut with your fingers. This will improve casting performance and keep the line from “digging in” after a solid strike.

Using a monofilament leader Attaching a monofilament leader to your PowerPro line may prove useful in the following situations: 1) When bait or jig fishing requires extra finesse, especially in clear water, use a 3-foot monofilament leader to cut down on line visibility. 2) When fishing for species that strike hard and fast, use a monofilament shock tippet. For close-in situations such as bait fishing, try a 3- to 10-foot tippet. For big game applications, you may want to use up to 100 yards or more.

for or tying terminal tackle—easy knot 1. Make a 10” loop in the line, then pass it through the eye of your tackle. 2. If the eye is big enough, pass the loop through a second time. 3. Tie a simple overhand knot, but don’t pull it tight. 4. Pass your tackle through the loop. 5. Pull on your standing line to tighten the knot, then trim the tag end.

for tying PowerPro to mono of larger diameter - easy knot 1. Double your PowerPro, leaving a 1/2” loop at the end. Wrap the PowerPro around the mono 10 to 12 times, leaving your loop open and opposite the mono tag end. 2. Pass the mono tag end through the PowerPro loop. 3. Pull on both lines to tighten the knot, jamming the wraps together. 4. Tie a Lock (see right).

Monofilament

PowerPro

Spectra Fiber is an especially dense material that cannot be permanently dyed. The color simply encapsulates the line and will wear away with time. This is normal and does not effect the strength or performance of the line. To re-color your PowerPro line, simply use a permanent magic marker in whatever shade you prefer. Although PowerPro is extremely strong, it isn’t indestructible. If the line starts to look frayed, especially after fishing around structure, it’s probably time to cut off the worn section and retie. This way your line will always perform at rated strength.

Glossary 73

Glossary The Saltwater Barrier Gear System is an upgrade from the already proven Barrier Gear System. Built even tougher out of a new alloy that has been coated with Shimanoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s propriety Barrier Gear Coating, the gear not only lasts longer but stays smoother throughout the lifespan of the reel. The SW Barrier Gears are all cold forged with the grains of the metal lying adjacent to the gear teeth. This improves strength, durability and cranking power over other conventional gear systems. Paladin Gear Durability Enhancement Spinning Using a special cold forged aluminum drive gear and a hardened brass pinion gear (Stainless Steel pinion gear on Stella SW), reels equipped with the Paladin Gear Durability Enhancement will retain their out-of-the-box smoothness much longer than before. In fact, testing has shown that this combination of metals is more durable than an all-stainless steel drivetrain while maintaining the smoothness that Shimano is famous for. HEG consists of not only the gears, but also the frame, setplate, and handle-side sideplate. First we increased the size of the drive gear and the pinion gear to offer increased leverage and power. By using a one-piece frame that incorporates the setplate and adding a one-piece stamped sideplate, we have eliminated flex in the drivetrain that causes normal gears to bind under pressure. By eliminating the flex and increasing the leverage, we are able to provide high-speed retrieves and deliver an incredible amount of torque, while maintaining the smooth, silent retrieve Shimano reels are famous for. The new one piece bail system uses a solid one piece stainless alloy bail arm to transfer the line seamlessly onto the roller. The solid bail arm wire is extremely resistant to deformation and will not collapse easily. Without any joints in the bail wire, there is absolutely no risk for PE line to catch onto and fray. The Easy Maintenance Port makes servicing the reel a breeze. No longer is it a hassle and a necessity to strip the whole reel to do a service. The Oil/Grease port allows you to maintain your reel even on the field without the need for you to strip and risk loosing reel parts. Aerowrap is a oscillation system that lays the line at different oscillation speeds to optimize line lay as well as increase the casting distance. Aerowarp reduces line to line friction when the line is flying off the spool. It also allows for both nylon and PE line to sit tightly and evenly to eliminate the top layers of line from cutting into the layers beneath. S A-RB are A-RB bearings that are sealed to protect against wear and tear from external contaminants. Shimano proprietary process in which bearings are made 10 times more corrosion resistant than ordinary bearings. Cold Forged Aluminium spool. Cold forging produces a spool with vastly superior mechanical properties due to the ability to control the direction of the aluminium grain structure. It also results in a better surface finish which is less prone to corrosion. The spool with its radical lip design has specially been engineered to allow supreme distance casting with minimal wind knots. The multiple taper of the spool lip has been precisely calculated to ensure that there is virtually no line slap when the line flies off following the contours of the spool lip. The multiple taper also prevents lines from springing loose even when the spool is well filled, greatly reducing the chances of wind knots.

Improved design of our specially engineered AR-C spool to be of lighter weight. CI4 stands for Carbon Interfusion with the 4 referring to the number of electrons in the Carbon atom. Ultimately, this means CI4 is reinforced Carbon Fiber. It is over one and a half times stronger than our normal XT-7 graphite and is over 20% lighter. Because it does not contain metal, it is impervious to rust. So, as a result of its strength and weight, we can create an extremely lightweight reel with very precise tolerances. Power AL Reel housing is made from extremely strong material which is durable and made to precise tolerance. X Ship gear system utilizes a extra big drive gear together with new support points for the Pinion gear. This new system resulted in 60% reduction in rotating resistance which translates to light & strong cranking power. Anti- Corrosion surface treatment which is over 2 times better corrosive resistance over other surfaces. Varispeed uses two specially designed gears and an oscillating slider to vary the line lay during retrieve. On the downstroke of the shaft, the line is laid parallel to each other, while on the upstroke, it is laid at an angle. This line laying system ensure that each layer of line does not cut into previous layers of line. It also improves casting distance due to less effort needed for the line to come off the reel when they are laid parallel to each other. A variable braking system athat allows you to control the amount of drag applied to the spool during a cast inorder to achieved the best trajectory to prevent backlash. 4X4 Variable brake system allows the angler to adjust up to 16 different levels of braking force to maximise casting distance and reduce backlash Shimano Variable Brake System allows you to easily adjust the amount of centrifugal braking that is applied to the spool via adjustable collars. This allows for backlash control to give trouble free casting for all levels of users.

8 levels of pre-programmed braking modes based on lures, casting styles and conditions. 4 different modes of cast, each with 8 stages to give a combination of 32 different patterns of braking capabilities to suit all fishing conditions. Shimano Star drags have revolutionised the way overheads reels can be used by providing a drag system that boasts of high drag capability and reliability previously unheard of in conventional star drag reels. Lever drags offer the angler ease of returning to the same preset drag settings easily and it is especially useful for situations where precise drag settings are optimum. P3 stands for Power - Precision - Performance Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a perfect description for the range of Shimano economy reel. Our world famous gears have an unbeatable reputation of strength and durability and are used throughout the P3 range to given them Shimano Power. All Shimano reels are designed using advance computerised technology. P3 models are also assembled to micrometer perfect tolerances that deliver the renowned Shimano Precision. Although the P3 range is very affordable, the reels totally outperform other competitive models, last longer and deliver outstanding Shimano Performance.
