TEAM SHIMANO AERO

OUR GOAL, ETERNALLY SMOOTH REELING

REEL MANUFACTURING BASED ON THE HAGANE CONCEPT IS SUPPORTED BY THE UNIQUE METALWORKING TECHNOLOGY THAT SHIMANO HAS DEVELOPED OVER THE YEARS.

HAGANE GEAR

The HAGANE Drive Gear is produced by SHIMANO’s cold forging technology, without the need for additional machining. This results in gearing parts which retain the characteristics of the pure material, keeping it as strong as possible.

X-SHIP

X-SHIP stands for Extra Smooth & High Power. It is a precision gearing system which enables smooth yet strong reeling. It results in ultra-light handle rotation combined with excellent power efficiency.

HAGANE BODY

HAGANE Body is made out of precision machined aluminium or magnesium. These body designs create stiffness and impact resistance, while at the same time eliminating flexing of the body.

Ci4+

A Ci4+ BODY is made out of Ci4+ composite material with very special characteristics. It is stronger than the original Ci4 and XT-7 graphite, and also lighter in weight. Ci4+ parts are lighter and stronger than any other composite material SHIMANO uses in their products.

SILENTDRIVE

The SILENTDRIVE technology encompasses the total redesign of the internal components to reduce microscopic handle play and eliminating noise and any unnatural feeling from the worm shaft drive. Produces an extremely smooth and silent reeling sensation.

X-PROTECT

X-PROTECT is SHIMANO’S leading water-resistant technology. A labyrinth structure, along with a water repellent material ensures both light rotation and water resistance performance. The noncontact style protects the reel but does not sacrifice rotation lightness.

G FREE BODY

G FREE BODY has been developed to shift the reel’s centre of gravity closer to the rod. By moving the centre of gravity closer to the angler’s hand position, the G Free body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.

ONE PIECE BAIL

ONE PIECE BAIL is a bail arm made from one piece of material, which allows the line to slide very smoothly over it to the line roller. In addition, this one piece construction results in a stronger bail arm.

AR-C SPOOL

AR-C is a spool-lip design technology exclusive to SHIMANO and provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design. It also allows the line to flow off the spool in smaller loops during the cast.

1. HAGANE GEAR delivers a long lasting smoothness, strength, lightness and power at the very heart of the reel.

2. X-SHIP enhances the smooth operation of the reel, while improving power transmission from the handle to the rotor.

3. SILENTDRIVE is a refinement of all internal moving components which produces a smoother, silent operation.

4. G FREE BODY moves the reel’s centre of gravity closer to the rod which improves balance and casting control.

5. CI4+ CONSTRUCTION of the body and rotor reduces weight whilst retaining strength and rigidity for maximum winding efficiency.

6. ANTI-REVERSE LEVER enables the reel to be set with the antireverse activated, or deactivated (backward rotation enabled).

7. AR-C SPOOL ensures the line leaves the spool with minimum friction for longer casts with both mono and braided lines.

8. FRONT DRAG offers increased fish-playing control by using a waterproof multi-disc design that is infinitely adjustable.

9. ONE PIECE BAIL is made from one piece of material, which allows the line to slide very smoothly over it to the line roller.

10. FOLDING SCREW-IN HANDLE winds directly into the main gear for a solid connection with no additional movement.

11. ROUND LINE CLIP has a ‘line-safe’ design and is easy to use, even with ultra fine braids or thicker diameter mono lines.

The ULTEGRA Ci4+ XTC and XSC 5500 sizes are packed with the latest long range casting technology. The most noticeable characteristic of the ULTEGRA Ci4+ is the reduced weight, which helps maximise rod speed when long range casting.

With a mid-range price tag you get a lot of reel for your money with the ULTEGRA Ci4+ and one look tells you this is a serious long distance reel. With understated colours, a large spool, neat compact body made of Ci4+ composite, plus some of SHIMANO’s top long range casting technology, you’ll certainly not be short of features if you choose the ULTEGRA Ci4+. In use you’ll appreciate the low weight, especially when pushing your casting range to the max. The lightness enables you to generate faster rod speeds, which combined with other long range technology leads to longer casts. This is the reel choice of many top long range feeder anglers.

The VANFORD is SHIMANO’s most sensitive front drag reel. Perfect for a wide range of lighter fishing styles, the Vanford is part of the Magnumlite Series and pushes the boundaries of lightweight technology and engineering, delivering remarkable finesse that you can actually feel and will most certainly appreciate.

The inertia required to start the VANFORD rotor moving is almost imperceptible. It’s hard to describe the sensation, but pick one up and you will immediately know what we mean. With sensitivity and lightness comes control, and with control comes better fishing and more success. It’s a win-win and when it comes to lightweight float fishing set-ups, there is very little that can compete with the VANFORD. Combine it with any high quality AERO rod and you will immediately enhance the balance, enabling you to fish better, for longer and increasing your enjoyment to higher levels than you thought possible.

The BAITRUNNER X-AERO 4000 is SHIMANO’s top of the range ‘compact’ BAITRUNNER reel designed for specialist and competition feeder anglers who want a free spool facility.

The BAITRUNNER X-AERO 4000 has a huge following. If you are looking for a reel to use for lightweight carp fishing, specimen fishing or competition feeder fishing for carp, barbel or bream, the 4000 size is the perfect choice. The famous, easy to use SHIMANO free spool facility is a reassuring advantage when fishing bolt rigs and feeders, especially for carp and barbel when bites are often sudden and very aggressive. When engaged, the spool will give line with minimum friction until you pick up the rod and turn the handle, which instantly engages the front drag and enables you to continue the fight.

The SHIMANO AERO range covers all styles of match, feeder, and general coarse fishing across Europe.

With the growth in feeder fishing popularity, the AERO Feeder Range covers everything from extreme long-range fishing for bream to close-range fishing for carp on man-made (Commercial) waters. The Match (float) rods offer versatility and choice, combined with exceptional actions, whilst the telescopic Bolognese rods deliver balance and sensitivity in equal measures.

AERO Pro feeder rods are sensational. The most advanced feeder rods ever produced by SHIMANO and arguably lighter than any of their competitors, AERO Pro delivers uncompromising perfection to those who need it most.

If you are a competition angler fishing at top level, you’ll already know every small advantage adds up. The margin between success and failure is often incredibly small and that’s where the AERO Pro becomes so important. This range is our best ever. It contains technology that has never been used on feeder rods before and it will give you a noticeable advantage. More accurate and longer casting, fish-playing actions that inspire confidence, looks that will be the envy of your competition, this feeder range delivers uncompromising performance, and more.

AERO PRO Precision feeder rods are designed for short to medium range (50m) work. When you need a rod to cast with pin-point accuracy, tight to islands and the perfect playing action to overcome hard fighting fish with confidence, the Precision is the rod for you.

AERO PRO Distance feeder rods are designed for medium to long range (100m+) work. If you want to out-cast the anglers around you, the Distance feeder models really do come into their own. Ultra long performance that gives you a noticeable advantage.

In keeping with the very best fish welfare standards, the ultra soft mesh is very fish friendly and the fine mesh size reduces snagging and laddering. On the base of the net is a retention loop which enables you to pin your nets down.

COMPETITION NET HANDLE

Designed for competition fishing, the AERO Competition Landing Net Handle is a high quality carbon net handle that combines strength and stiffness with versatility and can be used at 2.90m and 4.00m lengths.

One of the biggest advantages of the AERO Competition is its versatility as it can be used at two lengths. At its full 4m length it makes a great natural venue silver fish net and at 2.9m it is perfect for commercial match fisheries containing carp of all sizes. The impressive specifications includes a Full Carbon cross wrap blank (not heavy, thick walled composite), which is stiff and strong, making it great for scooping large carp using the 2.90m length, when building a big weight, or reaching a bream at full 4.00m length on a shallow natural venue. Stainless Steel threads, which have been double pinned and glued, make sure this handle will never let you down when you need it most and both the 4m and 2.9m sections have an anti-slip area to ensure increased grip when wet.

If you are looking for a ‘one-handle’ solution for all of you fishing, on both commercial or natural venues, the AERO Competition is the wise choice.

If you are looking for a high quality line for float fishing, AERO Float is for you. With excellent suppleness, it casts extremely well, even when you are using lightweight floats, and the semi-buoyant properties offer great versatility.

Without any treatment, the line will sit on the surface tension of the water enabling you to control Bolognese type floats with ease, but is you are fishing a waggler, or in windy conditions where you want to sink the line below the surface, a quick flick of the rod tip will drop the line under the surface. And when it comes to hitting bites, the reduced stretch offers you almost instant contact.
