SPECIFICATION INFO

SHIMANO MATERIAL INFO

CoreSolid Series - CoreSolid is the name for spinning reels with the characteristics of high rigidity and high power.

XT-7 - XT-7 is the original SHIMANO composite reel material, used on reel bodies and spools. XT-7 is reliable, robust and lightweight.

LightWeight Series - LightWeight is the name for spinning reels with the characteristics of low weight and low inertia.

XGT-7 - XGT7 SHIMANO Graphite is stronger than normal used material. It’s developed using the latest technology for improved rigidity and longevity.

Reel Size - Spinning reels are available in various sizes: 500, 750, 1000, 2000, 2500, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000 - and beyond. The number indicates the line capacity: a 1000 sized spool contains less line than a 3000 sized spool. However, the bigger the line capacity of the reel, the bigger all the other components of the reel are as well. So in total, a size 3000 reel is bigger than a size 1000. The right size of the reel for a fisherman depends strongly on the rod used (length, casting weight), the way of fishing and personal preference.

Ci4+ - SHIMANO’s Ci4+ is a composite (composite = two or more raw materials used) material with very special characteristics and is actually stronger than the original Ci4 material. Since Ci4+ does not contain any metal, so it is impervious to rust. Ci4+ parts are lighter and stronger than any other composite material SHIMANO is using in their products.

Gear Ratio - The Gear Ratio of the reel indicates the speed of the reel. This is showed in a number which includes the amount of turns of the rotor (360 degrees) in one full rotation of the handle. Example: In a reel with a gear ratio of 6.0:1 the rotor rotates exactly 6.0 times in one handle rotation. A reel with a high gear ratio (HG or XG) is faster, which is an advantage when you need a fast retrieve speed. A reel with a low gear ratio is slower and because of that more powerful. A low gear ratio is an advantage when heavy bait / lead / lures are used, a high gear ration is an advantage when speed is required. Anti-Reverse - This feature allows the angler to disengage the anti-reverse function enabling the reel to be cranked backwards. The reverse option of the reel is useful for quick and smooth line release without opening the bail or need to pull line while using the drag. It’s not standard on every spinning reel anymore (it used to be integrated in all of them), because this feature has one disadvantage - the lever needs a small opening in the reel body. Removing the function means the lever is not necessary anymore and that means one opening less in the reel body. This is an advantage for the durability of the reel, because water and dirt can’t enter the inner parts of the reel via this opening anymore. Spool Capacity - The spool capacity indicates how much line can be spooled on the reel spool. This is often communicated in line diameter (mm) – meters and line strength (lb) – yards. Maximum Drag Force - The maximum drag force is a number in kg / lb, which shows the maximum tension of the drag. For example, when the maximum drag force of a reel is 6kg, 6 kilogram or more of pressure needed before the drag starts to give line when it is fully closed. Line Retrieve per Crank - The ‘Line retrieve per crank / handle turn’ specification explains how much line is retrieved in one full crank with the reel handle. This is measured in centimetres. This indicates the retrieving speed of the reel. A fast retrieving reel is often wanted by lure anglers, because they can retrieve their lure very quickly. Generally: the bigger the spool size, the more line retrieved per crank. The same goes for the gear ratio: the faster the gearing (a higher gear ratio) means more line retrieved per crank when compared to a reel with a lower gearing.

Magnesium - Magnesium is used by SHIMANO for a select number of ultra high quality reels where weight saving is essential. The use of magnesium offers a weight reduction up to 10% compared to aluminium and can cope with both lightweight and high rigidity. Cold Forged Aluminium - Cold Forging means forging aluminium at a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius. Very heavy pressure is used to forge the aluminium or magnesium into it’s shape and this technology results in super strong and rigid reel parts. The commercial name of this technology which is used by SHIMANO is HAGANE. SHIMANO GEARING TECHNOLOGY 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. Micro Module Gear II - a further advanced through state-of-the-art, gear tooth surface design and SHIMANO’s exclusive manufacturing technology. The surface of the drive gear and pinion gear have been analysed and updated from the ground up in pursuit of perfection. Starting from an already industry leading standard, reduced reel noise and even smoother gear feeling have been realised. X-SHIP - X-SHIP stands for Extra Smooth & High Power. It is a precision gearing system which enables smooth yet strong reeling. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings and integrating a bigger drive gear with improved position, SHIMANO have increased the gearing efficiency and power of reels with the X-SHIP feature. It results in a reel with ultra-light handle rotation which is very powerful at the same time. G-Free Body - G-Free Body technology has been developed to shift the reel’s center of gravity closer to the rod. This has been achieved by moving the oscillation mechanism more towards the top of the reel. 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.

SilentDrive - SilentDrive is a total redesign of 11 internal components with the result of reducing microscopic handle play eliminating noise and unnatural feeling from the worm shaft. The combination of the redesigned components and extremely fine tolerence engineering produces silent and super smooth reeling, even when under pressure. SHIMANO BALLBEARING TECHNOLOGY A-RB - SHIMANO Stainless Steel Anti-Rust Bearings have undergone a special heat treatment resulting in high metal strength and long lasting corrosion resistance. (S) A-RB - Shielded Stainless Steel Anti-Rust Bearings. These bearings have undergone a special heat treatment resulting in high metal strength. Shielded A-RB bearings use either a rubber shield or stainless steel shield (depending on bearing size) for the ultimate in corrosion resistance and contaminant protection against sand, salt or dust. SHIMANO SPOOL TECHNOLOGIES AR-C Spool - AR-C is a spool-lip design technology by SHIMANO. Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations, it has been determined that the AR-C spool lip design provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design, while preventing backlashes and wind knots. It also allows the line to flow off the spool in smaller loops during the cast which means less line slap on the first guide. Long Stroke Spool - Increases the casting distance by 4% - 17%. This feature can be found on the new Stradic FL (figures are based on the FL and it’s predecessor, the Stradic FK). Barrier Coat Spool - improves protection to corrosion, therfore, improving durability. Cold Forged Alu - The spool is made from cold forged aluminium. This process creates a lightweight result with increased structural strength and more resistance to abrasion and damage. Magnumlite - Magnumlite is a revolutionary cold forged lightweight aluminium used to construct our light weight baitcasting spools. SHIMANO BODY TECHNOLOGIES HAGANE Body - A reel with HAGANE Body has a body made out of precision machined cold-forged aluminium or magnesium. The creates stiffness and impact resistance, why at the same time eliminating flexing of the body. The HAGANE Body is highly rigid and protects gear rotation performance from heavy loads and shocks. Parallel Body - Parallel Body is a feature that is designed to improve dynamic line flow from the reel to the first guide. On many reels the spool is aligned slightly upwards towards the rod blank, but with Parallel Body it is at exactly 90° to the blank. The result is less line slap the blank as it travels towards the first guide during casting.


SPINNING REELS TECHNOLOGY SHIMANO ROTOR TECHNOLOGIES Magnumlite (MGL) Rotor - The Magnumlite Rotor is an ultra-light improved rotor made out of Ci4+ material. The profile of the rotor is made asymmetrical and the bail arm mechanism, which is usually situated on the same side as the line roller, has been moved to the opposite side. Both of these changes improve the balance. The rotor rigidity at the line roller side has been improved which reduces the deflection under maximum pressure by up to 30%. Also the line roller is made of lightweight material, the bail is made from titanium and the rotor thickness has been optimized. All of this results in a lighter rotor, improved balance and is saving a 14% in rotation inertia.

SHIMANO DRAG TECHNOLOGIES

WATER RESISTANT TECHNOLOGIES

X-Tough Drag - X-Tough Drag incorporates large diameter drag washers at the base of the spool, which provide greater drag stability. The result is smooth and consistent drag performance throughout the fight. The Coil Wave Spring features steady elasticity at any compression level, and little deformation under repeated compression.

X-Protect - X-Protect is a three-lipped rubber seal system which is designed to keep low pressure water out of the reel. The grease between the second and third lips resists high pressure water. Besides the rubber seals, a labyrinth construction is added in order to make it waterproof for a much longer time. All of this does not effect the smooth rotor rotation or line roller performance.

Waterproof Drag - The Waterproof Drag contains rubber gaskets which are placed to protect the drag system. It seals the drag against intrusion of the elements such as water and dust. SHMANO DRAG TECHNOLOGIES Heat Sink Drag - Heatsink drag improves performance by transferring heat away from the spool, reducing spool surface temperature by up to 100 degrees. Rigid Support Drag - When hooking a large fish, the smoothness of the initial movement of the drag is the most important to avoid line break. By supporting the spool with the main shaft and two bearing links in the spool, it is possible to suppress the spool’s flutter and to provide stable and smooth drag performance. Cross Carbon Drag - This carbon drag material provides a wider range of drag settings, along with the smoothest SHIMANO drag performance ever. Rapid Fire Drag - Rapid Fire Drag is a drag system which is very precise and fast at the same time. It enables adjustment of the drag from heavy to light settings (and vice-versa) in only half a turn of the drag knob. Other reels sometimes require 1 or 2 full turns to do this. At the same time the different drag settings are very detailed, so the angler is able to adjust the drag to exactly the right settings.

X-Shield - By placing sealing gaskets in 12 critical locations throughout the rigid aluminium body, SHIMANO is able to create a water resistant structure that can hold up against the toughest conditions. CoreProtect - CoreProtect is a SHIMANO technology which is developed to keep water out of the reel, without creating a heavier rotation feeling. This innovation is used in three areas of the reel: 1 The Drag Area. This is the most critical area when comes to balancing water resistance without affecting the light and smooth rotation of the reel. A surface protection coating causes water to bead. This beading action prevents water from flowing into the small crevices. 2 The Body Area: To protect the body, CoreProtect utilizes a series of 12 different seals and a flat body joint with surface treatment. The anti-reverse switch has also been removed from the body. 3 The Line Roller: A line roller with CoreProtect has a sealed one-piece design that provides water resistance and low maintenance. The sealed design does not require oil as part of regular maintenance.

X Rigid Rotor - SHIMANO’s X Rigid Rotor is an extra strong and durable rotor. The shape and thickness of the aluminium rotor creates high rigidity that results in more fish fighting power. Increased mass of the aluminium rotor generates more inertia resulting in easier fishing of heavy jigs and high resistance lures. Aero Wrap II - Aero Wrap II is a worm gear oscillation system with a specially designed pitch to create optimal oscillation speeds for the AR-C spool design. The one speed oscillation system provides a line lay with one speed (the same speed upwards and downwards). The two-speed oscillation system (the spool moves upward quickly and downwards slowly) layers the line onto the spool in a precise criss-cross pattern that reduces line-to-line friction when casting. Varispeed II - Varispeed II takes care of a consistent spool speed, which is achieved by altering the speed of the oscillation cam. This is done by an oval gearing instead of a wormshaft. One Piece Bail - One Piece Bail is a bail made of one piece of material, which allows the line to slide very smoothly over the bail to the line roller. Its seamless design reduces friction and reduces the chance of tangles or cuts to the bail arm.

REAR DRAG FIGHTIN’ DRAG For all-round fishing SHIMANO rear drag reels offer great versatility. Many models also feature SHIMANO Fightin’ Drag for even easier adjustment whilst fighting a fish. The Fightin’ Drag allows you to quickly adjust the drag tension, with a minimal amount of clicks during the fight. This is especially important when the drag has not been set correctly and line is nearing the breaking point, or you need to put more pressure on the fish.

DRAG TECHNOLOGY

SilentDrive - SilentDrive is a total redesign of 11 internal components with the result of reducing microscopic handle play eliminating noise and unnatural feeling from the worm shaft. The combination of the redesigned components and extremely fine tolerence engineering produces silent and super smooth reeling, even when under pressure.

MX DRAG FORECE (KG)

Cold Forged Alu - The spool is made from cold forged aluminium. This process creates a lightweight result with increased structural strength and more resistance to abrasion and damage.

SHIMANO ROTOR TECHNOLOGIES

DRAG TYPE

AR-C Spool - AR-C is a spool-lip design technology by SHIMANO. Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations, it has been determined that the AR-C spool lip design provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design, while preventing backlashes and wind knots. It also allows the line to flow off the spool in smaller loops during the cast which means less line slap on the first guide.

SPOOL MATERIAL /TYPE

MODEL

HAGANE GEAR

Ci4+ - SHIMANO’s Ci4+ is a composite (composite = two or more raw materials used) material with very special characteristics. It is actually 250% stronger than the original Ci4 material, Ci4+ is also over one-anda-half times stronger than SHIMANO’s normal XT-7 graphite and is over 20% lighter as well. Since Ci4+ does not contain any metal, so it is impervious to rust. Ci4+ parts are lighter and stronger than any other composite material SHIMANO is using in their products.

Fightin’ Drag - Fightin’ Drag is an additional drag system that can be used when playing fish. The adjustment leaver is located at the back of the reel and can be turned to the right or left to either decrease or increase the drag setting.

LINE RETRIEVE PER CRANK(CM)

XT-7 - XT-7 is the original SHIMANO composite reel material, used on reel bodies and spools. XT-7 is reliable, robust and lightweight..

(S) A-RB - Shielded Stainless Steel Anti-Rust Bearings. These bearings have undergone a special heat treatment resulting in high metal strength. Shielded A-RB bearings use either a rubber shield or stainless steel shield (depending on bearing size) for the ultimate in corrosion resistance and contaminant protection against sand, salt or dust.

Rapid Fire Drag - Rapid Fire Drag is a drag system which is very precise and fast at the same time. It enables adjustment of the drag from heavy to light settings (and vice-versa) in only half a turn of the drag knob. Other reels sometimes require 1 or 2 full turns to do this. At the same time the different drag settings are very detailed, so the angler is able to adjust the drag to exactly the right settings.

SHIMANO MATERIAL INFO

SHIMANO BALLBEARING TECHNOLOGY

SHIMANO DRAG TECHNOLOGIES

WEIGHT (G)

Spool Capacity - The spool capacity indicates how much line can be spooled on the reel spool. This is often communicated in line diameter (mm) – meters and line strength (lb) – yards.

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.

OSCILLATION

Gear Ratio - The Gear Ratio of the reel indicates the speed of the reel. This is showed in a number which includes the amount of turns of the rotor (360 degrees) in one full rotation of the handle. Example: In a reel with a gear ratio of 6.0:1 the rotor rotates exactly 6.0 times in one handle rotation. A reel with a high gear ratio (HG or XG) is faster, which is an advantage when you need a fast retrieve speed. A reel with a low gear ratio is slower and because of that more powerful. A low gear ratio is an advantage when heavy bait / lead / lures are used, a high gear ration is an advantage when speed is required.

SHIMANO GEARING TECHNOLOGY

BODY MATERIAL

Reel Size - Spinning reels are available in various sizes: 500, 750, 1000, 2000, 2500, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000 - and beyond. The number indicates the line capacity: a 1000 sized spool contains less line than a 3000 sized spool. However, the bigger the line capacity of the reel, the bigger all the other components of the reel are as well. So in total, a size 3000 reel is bigger than a size 1000. The right size of the reel for a fisherman depends strongly on the rod used (length, casting weight), the way of fishing and personal preference.

Die Cast Aluminium - Die Casting is a process that is characterized by forcing molten metal under high pressure into a mould. SHIMANO uses this process with aluminium and/or magnesium to create strong parts with a high quality surface finish.

BAITRUNNER REEL RANGE


BAITRUNNER

BAITRUNNER LONGCAST THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS BAITRUNNER Longcast reels are designed for long range fishing and combine a Big Pit sized spool with the convenience of a rear freespool lever. Available in two different models, both Longcast XT-B models come in two sizes - the BB (Big) version is the larger size with a full sized Big Pit spool and the MB (Medium) has a more compact spool and body. The smaller MB size is very popular with carp anglers who fish a wide variety of waters as it offers excellent casting performance, combined with a more compact profile and lighter weight. All BAITRUNNER Longcast models feature 2-speed Aero Wrap Slow Oscillation for excellent line lay and HAGANE Gear and X-Ship for powerful winding performance. Due to the line capacity of the large capacity AR-C spools, line reducers are provided with all models to enable you to fill your spools efficiently depending on the line diameter you are using.

BAITRUNNER X-AERO... THE EVOLUTION CONTINUES For over 30 years SHIMANO BAITRUNNER has dominated the free-spool reel market. Since their launch in the 1980s, BAITRUNNER reels have been continuously improved and developed. The BAITRUNNER X-Aero models combine the traditional simplicity of the rear free-spool lever, with a much larger ‘Aero Concept’ spool.

8000 STANDARD SPOOL

The result of this evolution is noticeably better casting performance, nearly matching that of some Big Pit type models and even better fish-playing drag performance. BAITRUNNER X-Aero reels are available in both large sized rear drag and smaller front drag versions.

8000 X-AERO SPOOL +30% LARGER DIAMETER

30+ YEARS OF PERFECTION The SHIMANO BAITRUNNER reel was developed over 30 years ago and has become the first choice for many carp and specimen anglers throughout the world. BAITRUNNER is a registered trade mark of SHIMANO.

X AERO WRAP

VARISPEED

X AERO WRAP 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. X Aero Wrap is considered one of the best line lay systems in the world.

VARISPEED oscillation system moves with two variable speeds to lay the line flat and smooth onto the spool. This provides trouble-free, longer distant casts and better fish-playing when giving line.

THE CLASSICS For years BAITRUNNER reels have been the first choice for millions of carp anglers. The freespool facility is convenient to use and totally reliable, changing from an almost frictionless spool rotation to a pre-set drag setting at the flick of the lever or a slight rotation of the handle. The 'Classics' are medium sized reels that are perfect for all but the longest range carp fishing. Within the range the X-Aero version has a slightly larger diameter spool to bridge the gap between standard 10000 size and Longcast BAITRUNNER reels. RB models all come with balanced double handles popularised by SHIMANO BAITRUNNER reels many years ago.

BIG PIT TECHNOLOGY PARALLEL BODY Parallel Body is a new feature that is designed to improve dynamic line flow from the reel to the first guide. On many reels the spool is aligned slightly upwards towards the rod blank, but with Parallel Body it is at exactly 90° to the blank. The result is less line slap the blank as it travels towards the first guide during casting.

HI-SPEED DRAG Hi-speed drag is SHIMANO’s fastest drag system and can change the drag setting from free-spool mode to fighting mode with only a very small turn to the know located on the front of the spool.

WATER RESISTANT PROTECTION X PROTECT seals the roller clutch (which is the optimal location for protection) and line roller to prevent water intrusion. This advanced protection technology increases the durability of the reel and gives a high level protection in even the toughest conditions. This insures a good reel performance for a long time, without effecting the smoothness of the reel.

X-SHIP creates a STRONG Gearing foundation to cope with extreme pressure and maximises winding power transmission from the handle to the rotor.

OSCILLATION 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. SHIMANO STANDARD Oscillation (up to 20 wraps per cycle) outperforms the industry standard. SHIMANO SLOW Oscillation (up to 40 wraps per cycle) exceeds almost anything else ever seen. Super Slow Oscillation systems - SUPER SLOW 5 (55 wraps per cycle) and SUPER SLOW 10 (105 wraps per cycle) the ultimate line lay.

STANDARD STANDARD Oscillation Up to 20 wraps

SLOW SLOW Oscillation 35 - 40 wraps

SUPER SLOW 5 Oscillation 45-55 wraps

SUPER SLOW 10 Oscillation 95-105 wraps


BIG PIT

REEL GLOSSARY

SPECIFICATION INFO

SHIMANO GEARING TECHNOLOGIES

Gear Ratio - The Gear Ratio of the reel indicates the speed of the reel. This is showed in a number which includes the amount of turns of the rotor (360 degrees) in one full rotation of the handle. Example: In a reel with a gear ratio of 6.0:1 the rotor rotates exactly 6 times in one handle rotation. A reel with a high gear ratio (HG or XG) is faster, which is an advantage when you need a fast retrieve speed. A reel with a low gear ratio is slower and because of that more powerful. Most carp and BigPit reels have a fairly low gear ratio, which makes them very powerful. This is useful for retrieving heavy leads and fighting big fish.

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.

Maximum Drag Force - The maximum drag force is a number in kg, which shows the maximum tension of the drag. For example: when the maximum drag force of a reel is 6kg, there is 6 kilogram or more pressure needed before the drag starts to give line when it is fully closed. Spool Capacity - The spool capacity indicates how much line can be spooled on the reel spool. This is often communicated in line diameter (mm) – meters and line strength (lb) – yards. Line Retrieve per Crank - The ‘Line retrieve per crank / handle turn’ specification explains how much line is retrieved in one full crank with the reel handle. This is measured in centimetres. This indicates the retrieving speed of the reel. A fast retrieving reel is often wanted by carp anglers, because they can retrieve their lead and bait very fast. This reduces the chance of getting stuck and loosing tackle. Generally: the bigger the spool size, the more line retrieved per crank. The same goes for the gear ratio: the faster the gearing (a higher gear ratio) means more line retrieved per crank when compared to a reel with a lower gearing ratio. MATERIAL INFO XT-7 - XT-7 is the original SHIMANO composite reel material, used on reel bodies and spools. XT-7 is reliable, robust and lightweight. Ci4+ - SHIMANO’s Ci4+ is a composite (composite = two or more raw materials used) material with very special characteristics. It is actually 250% stronger than the original Ci4 material, Ci4+ is also over one-anda-half times stronger than SHIMANO’s normal XT-7 graphite and is over 20% lighter as well. Since Ci4+ does not contain any metal, so it is impervious to rust. Ci4+ parts are lighter and stronger than any other composite material SHIMANO is using in their products. Magnesium - Magnesium is used by SHIMANO for a select number of ultra high quality reels where weight saving is essential. The use of magnesium offers a weight reduction up to 10% compared to aluminium. Cold Forged Aluminium - Cold Forging means forging aluminium at a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius. Very heavy pressure is used to forge the aluminium into shape.

X-SHIP - X-SHIP stands for Extra Smooth & High Power. It is a precision gearing system which enables smooth yet strong reeling. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with SHIMANO (S) A-RB bearings and integrating a bigger drive gear with improved position, SHIMANO have increased the gearing efficiency and power of reels with the X-SHIP feature. It results in a reel with ultra-light handle rotation which is very powerful at the same time. SHIMANO BALL-BEARING TECHNOLOGIES A-RB - SHIMANO Stainless Steel Anti-Rust Bearings have undergone a special heat treatment resulting in high metal strength and long lasting corrosion resistance. (S) A-RB - Shielded Stainless Steel Anti-Rust Bearings. These bearings have undergone a special heat treatment resulting in high metal strength. Shielded A-RB bearings use either a rubber shield or stainless steel shield (depending on bearing size) for the ultimate in corrosion resistance and contaminant protection against sand, salt or dust. SHIMANO SPOOL TECHNOLOGIES AR-C Spool - AR-C is a spool-lip design technology by SHIMANO. Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations, it has been determined that the AR-C spool lip design provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design, while preventing backlashes and wind knots. It also allows the line to flow off the spool in smaller loops during the cast which means less line slap on the first guide. Long Stroke Spool - Increases the casting distance by 4% - 17%. This feature can be found on the new Stradic FL (figures are based on the FL and it’s predecessor, the Stradic FK). Spool Reducers - Spool reducers are plastic caps which are included with some reels (usually reels with a big spool capacity). They can be clicked on the spool, in order to downsize the spool capacity. Line Clip - A line clip is a small clip, located just underneath the bottom edge of the line-winding part of the spool.

the hook, simply turn the handle or flip the Baitrunner lever to the 'Baitrunner Off' position, and the fight is on with the regular drag setting. SHIMANO BODY TECHNOLOGIES HAGANE Body - A reel with HAGANE Body has a body made out of precision machined cold-forged aluminium or magnesium. The creates stiffness and impact resistance, whilst at the same time eliminating flexing of the body. The HAGANE Body is highly rigid and protects gear rotation performance from heavy loads and shocks. Parallel Body - SHIMANO’s Parallel Body technology means the rod and reel alignment is perfectly parallel. The axle and spool are parallel to the rod and because of that, the ‘line slap’ between your spool and the first guide is minimized. This will make the line come off the spool more easily when casting. SHIMANO ROTOR TECHNOLOGIES X Aero Wrap - X Aero Wrap is a worm gear oscillation system with a specially designed pitch to create optimal oscillation speeds for the AR-C spool design. The one speed oscillation system provides a line-lay with one speed (the same speed upwards and downwards). The two-speed oscillation system (the spool moves upward quickly and downwards slowly) lays the line onto the spool in a precise criss-cross pattern that reduces line-toline friction when casting. Varispeed - Varispeed takes care of a consistent spool speed, which is achieved by altering the speed of the oscillation cam. OSCILLATION SYSTEMS The oscillation of the reel is the speed of the spool going up and down during the winding of the reel. The slower the line oscillation, more wraps of line per cycle are possible. With a slow oscillation reel, every wrap of line is placed just above the previous wrap of line. The slower the oscillation of the reel, the more parallel the wraps at the spool are. Because of the parallel wraps, there is less friction when the line comes off the spool during the cast. This makes longer, easier and more precise casting possible. You will notice the smoothness and control that a slow oscillation reel offers right away. SHIMANO Standard Oscillation - Is up to 20 wraps per cycle. This is slow and exceeds almost anything else available from other manufacturers.

SHIMANO DRAG TECHNOLOGIES

SHIMANO Slow Oscillation - Is up to 20-49 wraps per cycle. This is incredibly slow and exceeds almost anything else ever seen.

Water Proof Drag - The Water Proof Drag contains rubber gaskets which are placed to protect the drag system. It seals the drag against intrusion of the elements such as water and dust.

SHIMANO Super Slow 5 - Is a minimum of 50 wraps per cycle. This makes (almost) perfect parallel spooling possible and gives a huge improvement in casting distance and precision.

Instant Drag - SHIMANO Instant Drag allows a quick adjustment of the front drag knob to take the reel from a current drag setting to free spool in just half a turn (and vice-versa).

SHIMANO Super Slow 10 - Is a minimum of 100 wraps per cycle. This produces perfect parallel line spooling and the best casting distance, control and precision possible.

Baitrunner System (lever) - The Baitrunner Lever provides a secondary drag system which allows an angler to feed out line in tension-controlled freespool with the bail closed. To engage the main drag and set

RODS


RODS ROD MATERIALS

SHIMANO HIGH PRESSURE CARBON is a process which creates stronger, more responsive blanks. Pressure is applied to the blank surface during curing (heating) which evenly distributes the resin through the carbon fibre matrix. The result is a much stronger, more consistent performance and improved response.

XT CARBON XT CARBON is used throughout the SHIMANO rod range. The number following the XT (XT100), denotes the quality of carbon ďŹ bre used. The higher the number, the stronger the carbon. Where different types of carbon are combined to create the required action both numbers will be shown (XT60/40).

Adding BIOFIBRE reinforces the carbon fibres in all directions. This gives outstanding strength, shock resistance, lightness and power.

GEOFIBRE is a naturally derived component that provides rigidity and high tensile strength when added to rods in the lower to mid-price rod band.

ROD SPECIFICATION TABLE EXPLANATION LENGTH (M) This length indicates the length of the rod when it is fully assembled. TRANSPORT LENGTH (CM) This transport length indicates the length when the rod is not assembled. NUMBER OF SECTIONS The number of sections indicates how many sections the rod has.

PRECISION AND LONG CAST ROD ACTIONS Beastmaster and Aernos Feeder rods are available in two different actions to suit the range you are fishing to. For close to medium range feeder fishing up to 50 metres, the shorter Precision action models ensure your casts will land with pin-point accuracy.

FEEDER

For longer range fishing the Longcast action will send your feeder into the distance with ease, thanks to the extra power in the lower half of the rod and the increased length. Longcast rods also have large quivertip guides to reduce friction and prevent shock-leader knots from catching on the cast.

CONTROL YOUR FEEDER FISHING Holland is home of the Winkle Picker and was designed for bream fishing at close to medium range with small and medium groundbait feeders. The principle behind the Winkle Picker is very simple, the short length, combined with strength in the lower part of the rod, casts medium feeders with lots of control and accuracy. The ultra fine quivertips are designed for maximum bite detection. Winkle Pickers also make excellent rods for larger than average carp on Commercial waters, where the extra strength in the butt section gives great fish-playing control.
