REEL TECHNOLOGY

MICROCOMPUTER COILS MAGNET

PERFECT CASTS, ANYTIME AND EVERY SITUATION Shimano’s new Digital Control braking system utilises a microcomputer to monitor spool speed 1,000 times every second and apply the perfect amount of brake to prevent backlash and maximise distance. Anglers of every skill level will appreciate less thumbing and trouble-free casting in all conditions.

Hagane is the concept of power. By using a cold forging technique, we produced a class-leading drive gear that is stronger and more durable. With the gear teeth super-refined to the limit, the “MicroModule Gear System” enables seamless engagement and power transmission. The System, without compromising strength, reduces noise and provides far better sensitivity.

X-Ship stands for Extra, Smooth and High Power. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with SA-RB bearings (on Stella models) and introducing a bigger drive gear, Shimano increased gearing efficiency and higher power. This results in a fishing reel with ultra-light handle rotation for less effort, even under heavy loads. This increases the efficiency of the reel, meaning it will stay smoother and perform at its peak for much longer. The Hagane Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body stiffness and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing. The result transforms the angler’s actions directly into cranking power. State-of-the-art, gear tooth surface design and MicroModule Gear II, are further advanced through Shimano’s exclusive manufacturing technology. The surfaces 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 has been realised. From the fundamental, whole body design to the most intricate parts of the drive train, including the drive gear, wormshaft, wormshaft pin and wormshaft gear, every piece has been carefully reviewed, and the smallest clearance gaps and wobbles have been eliminated to the highest tolerances. A new generation of silky smooth winding performance and pristine silence has been achieved.

From the fundamental, whole body design to the most intricate parts of the drive train, including the drive gear, wormshaft, wormshaft pin and wormshaft gear, every piece has been carefully reviewed, and the smallest clearance gaps and wobbles have been eliminated to the highest tolerances. A new generation of silky smooth winding performance and pristine silence has been achieved.

State-of-the-art, gear tooth surface design and MicroModule Gear II, are further advanced through Shimano’s exclusive manufacturing technology. The surfaces 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 has been realised.

The redesigned Magnumlite Rotor delivers ultra light, almost friction free rotation, enabling you to control the retrieve with ultimate precision and sensitivity. Lures become even more animated when using a MGL Rotor reel, and the ultra light experience lets you feel every movement of the lure, the bottom and ultimately the strike of the fish, no matter how slight it is. The concept of CoreProtect is simple... to provide water resistance without creating a heavy rotation feeling. There are three key areas of the reel that require protection: the roller clutch, the body and the line roller. G Free Body technology has been developed to shift the reel’s centre of gravity closer to the rod. This has been achieved by moving the worm shaft oscillation mechanism 19mm up from the bottom of the reel to the top. By moving the centre of gravity closer to the angler’s hand position, the G Free Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhances casting comfort. By placing sealing gaskets in 12 critical locations throughout the rigid aluminium body, we are able to create a water resistant structure that can hold up against the toughest conditions and fish that Mother Nature has to offer. X-Protect is a water resistant technology. The aim was to create a water repellent technology that didnt impede rotation or lightness. The technology combines water repellent treatments and a labyrinth type structure to suppress the entry of water, achieveing a high level of waterproofing performance despite non-contact. Incorporating large diameter drag washers at the base of the spool provides 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. This results in precise drag adjustments throughout the curve, giving the angler more control at high drag pressure.


9 Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations, it has been determined that the AR-C spool lip design produces longer casting distances than a standard spool lip, while preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming. It also allows the line to flow off the spool in smaller loops during the cast, which means less slap on the stripper guide. This results in longer casts with less friction. A spool designed with a V-shape spool lip ensures the line comes off the reel in smaller loops, for longer, more accurate casting. With E.I., after the anodisation process is finished, a second layer of surface treatment is added. This treatment is forced into the remaining surface impurities. This gives salt no hideout and also results in an extremely smooth-to-the-touch finish. A reel with E.I. treatment has more than double the corrosion resistance of a standard anodised reel. Ci4 is a material created by the interfusion of carbon and polyamide. The upshot is a reel whose precision inner workings are housed within a protective shell with all the performance advantages of metal, but weighing less and therefore reducing arm fatigue whilst increasing feel and balance through the rod. We have upgraded our light-weight carbon material Ci4. Keeping it light weight, rigidity and durability of the material under fishing conditions is highly improved. From this characteristic, we were able to reduce the volume and weight of the rotor and the body. The Shimano Stable Spool Design technology features balanced and uniform thin wall aluminium construction throughout the spool. This precision significantly reduces spool vibration and creates an incredibly smooth feeling when casting and retrieving. I DC + is the latest development in automatic cast control. This digitally controlled braking system makes adjustments by the angler unnecessary, resulting in smoother, more accurate and backlash-free casts.

It’s all about leverage! We’ve repositioned the reel handle closer to the body to increase cranking leverage, rigidity and torque, as found in the Calcutta D reels. Rigid Support Drag eliminates spool movement and wobble, even at light drag settings. The result is an incredibly smooth drag even at extremely light settings. Shielded Anti-Rust Bearings are similar to A-RB, but feature additional shields for the ultimate in protection

Anti-Rust Bearings possess extreme durability, at least 10 times the corrosion resistance of standard stainless steel bearings.

One Piece Bail allows the line to travel unimpeded to the line roller. Its seamless design reduces friction and the chance of tangles or cuts to the bail arm. Eliminates friction on the spool shaft for increased free spool. The result is a longer cast requiring less effort.

Variable Brake System uses weights to slow down the spool’s rotation. This provides the angler with more consistent spool speed, as well as easier line management during the cast.

This drag material provides a wider range of drag settings, for the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.

Compact Body is designed for reduced weight and improved function, giving far more leverage when fighting a fish.

SVS Infinity provides 4-6 settings and an adjustable brake dial to provide a much wider and more precise range for maximum control and consistent brake performance in all conditions.

Shimano’s centrifugal braking system suppresses rapid spool rotation, line backlash, and improves casting performance. This is due to a wider brake adjustment range via the external dial, enabling greater versatility when casting differing lure weights from light to heavy. Developed to provide more powerful and light winding through bearings supporting the pinion gear. By doing so, the rotational resistance of the reel has been decreased up to 60%.

This audible and highly exciting sound, which occurs when a fish runs, is a modern alternative to the more traditional mechanical clicker or ratchet.

Compact body design to reduce weight and allow for better grip and leverage while fighting a fish.

The body is made compact by moving the knob of the mechanical brake, normally placed on the handle side, to the side of the paring plate. Reducing the body width increases the performance of the palm, while at the same time centre balancing improves the centre of gravity balance.

Fine tuning of the Baitrunner Spool functionality. Both the small drag setting and the big free spool knob now work independently of each other. Improved, more user-friendly handling is the result.

This shifting mechanism is designed so that gear changes are quick and easy, even when fighting a fish. The low gear ratio used for high-power retrieves is selected by pushing the button on the base of the handle. Return to the high-speed ratio by sliding the release button along the handle shank. There is no gear meshing during the shift.

With this feature the spool is aligned parallel to the rod, minimising the rubbing between the rod and the line, while increasing casting distance.

Allows for instantaneous drag adjustments, which helps when fighting fish around structure.

By utilising a special drag washer, the drag can be adjusted from the minimum to maximum range with one complete turn of the drag knob.

NEW

THE NEW STELLA FJ HAS THE SMOOTHEST, MOST EFFICIENT DRIVE TRAIN, WITH UNPRECEDENTED DURABILITY, THAT SHIMANO HAS EVER ENGINEERED. The introduction of MicroModule II, with its unique gear teeth and surface design, delivers amazing smoothness and resilience above and beyond the already unmatched Hagane gear quality. With five times the water resistance thanks to X-Protect, the long-term effects of saltwater exposure will not change the FJ’s smoothness of operation, even after years of use. Silent Drive further enhances Shimano’s engineering in the pursuit of perfection, and almost every tolerance aspect of the reel that could be improved to reduce wobble and play has been completely overhauled. This creates a luxurious feeling and silence of operation not felt in any reel before. Hagane Gear, Hagane Body, X-Ship, G-Free Body, Anti-Tangle Rotor, a Long Stroke spool and a host of other key Shimano developments round out what is clearly the new benchmark in spinning reels — the Stella FJ.

From the fundamental, whole body design to the most intricate parts of the drive train, including the drive gear, wormshaft, wormshaft pin and wormshaft gear, every piece has been carefully reviewed, and the smallest clearance gaps and wobbles have been eliminated to the highest tolerances. A new generation of silky smooth winding performance and pristine silence has been achieved.

LEVER DRAG GAME REEL PERFORMANCE IN A SPIN REEL — THE ‘GAME’ HAS CHANGED FOREVER! BIG GAME FISH HAVE A KNACK OF HANDING INFERIOR REELS BACK IN PIECES, SO SHIMANO HAS MADE EVERY EFFORT TO ENSURE THAT THE STELLA SWB SERIES ARE AS TOUGH, FUNCTIONAL AND BATTLE-READY AS CAN BE. THE BIGGER THE FISH, THE FASTER IT SWIMS, THE HIGHER IT JUMPS, THE MORE THE STELLAS LIKE IT. And no more does ‘strength’ have to equate to ‘weight’. Consequently, we have the use of Hagane body, which won’t twist or warp, and keeps features like X-Ship, which through Hagane cold forged gears and increased bearing support increases cranking power.

The most extreme of fishing conditions and situations is where the Stella SWBs demonstrate their thoroughbred lines. X-Shield and X-Protect offer gasket and rubber seals to keep saltwater intrusion at bay, no matter how badly you the angler might be getting slammed!

An incredible 14 SA-RB bearings, a more rigid aluminium handle, and a one‑piece aluminium shaft with stainless steel core help immeasurably in this regard, and provide more power under load.

Casting heavy and high resistance lures like metal jigs, stickbaits and poppers long distances with accuracy and efficiency has never been easier, thanks to a combination of X-Rigid Rotor, SR one-piece titanium bail arm wire, as well as a SW Diamond Like Carbon bail roller to cut down heat buildup.

When you have a massive dogtooth, southern bluefin tuna, giant trevally or blue marlin hooked up and disappearing over the horizon or aiming for the bottom of the ocean, the X-Tough Drag, with increased carbon washer size and Coil Wave Spring continues to deliver drag consistency at every setting and for the full duration of the fight.

The only reason there are no better spin reels than the Stella SWBs is that Shimano hasn’t invented them yet!

HAGANE BODY AND HAGANE GEARS, AN INCREASED NUMBER OF BEARINGS AND HEAVY DRAG CAPABILITIES HAVE MADE THE TWIN POWER SW SPIN REELS MUSTHAVES FOR THE ELITE SALTWATER ANGLER. The Twin Power Saltwater series make use of three key engineering developments from Shimano. The all-metal Hagane Body offers high rigidity and impact resistance, meaning the angler gets more cranking power under load. This is backed up by the increased efficiency of the cold-forged Hagane Gears for increased resilience and durability. And of course there’s X-Ship, where the pinion gear is supported on both ends by SA-RB bearings for smoother operation whilst under the load of a big fish. These versatile saltwater class threadlines have the gear ratios to go the distance, and the line capacities for that unexpected monster, especially. The use of braid is backed up by incredible drag power — a massive 11 kilos in the 4000SWBXG, through to 25 kilos on the 14000SWBXG.

Encased in a Hybrid Hagane Body with a Hagane Gear, Shimano’s legendary X-Ship bearing supported pinion gear and larger drive gear delivers remarkable cranking power with less effort and a far smoother feel. X-Shield and X-Protect keep salt water out of key areas, while the extra tough Cross Carbon drag is also waterproof.

THE SPHEROS ARE LIKE WORK UTES — TOUGH AS, TAKE ’EM ANYWHERE, PUSH THEM TO THE LIMIT AND WATCH THEM COME BACK FOR MORE. Heading their features is Hagane Gear, Hagane Body, X-Ship and X-Shield. The former sees a larger cold-forged drive gear and a double bearing supported pinion gear to increase performance under load, while the latter means sealing gaskets have been placed in locations where water could enter the reel body, delivering a water resistant barrier.

THE SUSTAIN SERIES HAS LONG BEEN A FAVOURITE AMONGST ANGLERS FROM AROUND THE WORLD. By leveraging the benefits of the aluminium Hagane Body, the Sustain FI possesses the rigidity of a metal outer shell that maximises impact resistance whilst eliminating body flex under load. To provide enhanced sensitivity, a Magnumlite Rotor has been fitted to the Sustain FI series and offers effortless low inertia rotation. This is a significant improvement on the previous Sustain FG model, as the bail trip lever has now been moved to the opposite side of the line roller, negating the need for heavy bail hold support. The cold forged Hagane Gear and X-Ship combine to provide a gearing system that is smoother and stronger than any other available in the market. This gives the reel a much smoother gear transition, but also unrivalled pulling power to handle larger predatory species.

THE STRADIC CI4+ IS CONSIDERED TO BE ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC SPINNING REELS IN THE SHIMANO RANGE. ITS STRIKING DESIGN AND AN ULTRA SMOOTH WINDING EXPERIENCE, COMBINED WITH ITS LIGHT WEIGHT PROPERTIES MAKES IT HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER. The Stradic CI4+FB model has been significantly improved on the previous FA model. The weight has been reduced by 5 grams, while other operational features and design have been improved to further reduce the feel of weight in the reel. To enhance the feeling of lightness and light rotation, the CI4FB model comes with the latest designed Magnumlite rotor. The design of the bail trip mechanism has been moved to the opposite side as the line roller, negating the need for a heavy bail hold support.

EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS IT SEEMS THE SHIMANO TECHNICAL PEOPLE GRAB HOLD OF THE STRADIC SPIN REEL LINEUP AND MAKE A GREAT REEL EVEN BETTER. Firstly, a reel of this standing couldn’t be without a new Hagane Body. This metal frame delivers high rigidity, so there’s no flexing when under load and no loss of cranking power either. This is complemented by the Hagane Gear system — not cut gear teeth, but 3D design cold forging for increased resilience and greater durability.

THE ULTEGRA FAMILY OF REELS HAS LONG BEEN A CORNERSTONE OF THE SHIMANO PRODUCT RANGE, AND THE ULTEGRA FB SERIES IS DESIGNED AND BUILT WITH INSPIRED PERFORMANCE IN MIND. At the core of the Ultegra FB series lies the Hagane Gear, for the ultimate in smoothness and longevity. X-Ship provides robust gear engagement under heavy load during the fight, while protection against saltwater penetration is achieved by the addition of Core Protect. To enhance angler comfort, G Free Body has been incorporated, and as a result shifts the reel’s centre of gravity closer to the rod, making the Ultegra FB ideal for extended sessions on the water. Target applications can range from finesse trout fishing to chasing pelagic speedsters.

THE NEW CATANA FD SPIN REELS REPRESENT GREAT VALUE AND PERFORMANCE FOR A RANGE OF FISHING CONDITIONS.. There are four reels in the re-launched Catana range, from 1000 to 4000 size, with the 2500, C3000, and 4000 HG having high retrieve ratios from 5.8 to 6.2:1 thanks to the presence of zinc DC gears. Perfect for freshwater, estuary and light offshore applications, the larger reels are capable of dialling up a whopping 8.5 kilos of drag power. The AR-C spool lip design increases casting distance, controls the development of wind knots, and creates less slap on the stripping guide. They come with two SUS ball bearings, plus one roller bearing, so it’s smooth sailing all the way with these value packed reels.

SIENNA SPIN REELS HAVE BEEN PART AND PARCEL OF THE SHIMANO LINE-UP FOR WELL OVER A DOZEN YEARS NOW AND THEY CERTAINLY RAISE THE STANDARD WHEN IT COMES TO PERFORMANCE. There are three general purpose sizes: 1000, 2500 and 4000, which cover all manner of light line situations, from bait fishing to Squidgy soft plastic and hardbody lure casting. Gear ratios in the 1000 FE and the 2500 FE are 5:1, while the 4000 FE is slightly faster at 5.2:1. They punch out 4kg drag and the AR-C die-cast aluminium spools hold a generous amount of monofilament and a lot more of braid. So if you’re just starting out in fishing or the kids are showing some interest that requires something more sophisticated than just a basic handline, check out the Sienna FE range.

EACH MODEL FEATURES A STYLISH ANODISED AR-C SPOOL, DYNA‑BALANCE AND VARISPEED OSCILLATION. This series is an ideal range for people who are looking for an entry level reel that has a fast retrieve rate, with each model having a respectable 5.2:1 gear ratio. The AX comes in three sizes: 1000, 2500 and 4000.

THE FX SERIES HAS BEEN SHIMANO’S BEGINNER FRONT DRAG REEL FOR OVER A DECADE AND IS STILL ONE OF THE HIGHEST SELLING REELS IN THE COUNTRY. Featuring Dyna-Balance, Varispeed Oscillation and a ten year warranty to boot, this reel is a great gift for any new angler. It comes in two sizes: 2500 and 4000.

THIS SIMPLE AND AFFORDABLE RANGE OF REELS OFFERS NUMEROUS FEATURES THAT, ALTHOUGH STANDARD IN SHIMANO REELS, ARE NOT SO STANDARD AMONG OUR COMPETITORS. These include Varispeed Oscillation, for even line lay and fewer tangles, and Dyna-Balance, which reduces the amount of wobble in the reel when winding. The Hyperloop comes in three sizes: 2500, 4000 and 6000.

SHIMANO’S ENTRY LEVEL REAR DRAG REEL IS PERFECT FOR YOUNG ANGLERS JUST STARTING OUT IN FISHING. The reel features an easy to use rear drag and also a QuickFire II casting system. This means that when your child needs to cast they only need to reverse spin the handle, pull the QuickFire lever and they will be all set to go. It comes in two sizes: 2000R and 4000R.

BUILT TOUGH FOR LARGER SALTWATER SPECIES, THE THUNNUS RANGE FIELDS FOUR SIZES FROM 4000 TO 12000, WHICH COVERS EVERY INSHORE AND LIGHT-MEDIUM OFFSHORE APPLICATION IMAGINABLE. After free-spooling your offering down the water column to your target species, the Baitrunner function is switched on. The spool turns slowly, as a fish is fooled into taking your bait under what seems like near zero tension, you turn the handle and engage the main drag system – hooked up!

THE BAITRUNNER HAS DEEP ROOTS IN THE AUSTRALIAN FISHING SCENE, HAVING BEEN FIRST CONCEPTUALISED HERE. The OC contains a lot of the features that have made the Shimano Baitrunner a household name in this country, but it also has advanced technologies like Varispeed Oscillation, Fluidrive, Dyna-Balance, Propulsion Line Management to improve operation and casting distance, and a Baitrunner lever that engages when against the body to prevent accidental disengagement.

WHILE COMPETITORS OFTEN DOWN-SPEC’ REELS TO CREATE ‘ENTRY LEVEL’ OPTIONS, SHIMANO DOES THE OPPOSITE AND ADDS MORE! The ST Baitrunner range presents an unprecedented fish catching tool essential for anyone wanting to fish with a threadline where a Baitrunner function is required. The range features two models (2500 and 4000 sizes), which will be ideal for estuary and bay applications chasing bream, whiting, jew and inshore snapper.

OFFERING UNRIVALED STRENGTH AND SALTWATER DURABILITY, THE ULTEGRA CI4+ REPRESENTS THE PINNACLE OF SURF CASTING SPIN REELS FROM SHIMANO. Drawing upon the weight saving advantages of a CI4+ body construction, the cold forged Hagane Gear and X-Ship combine to produce powerful winding performance, while 5+1 SA-RB bearings deliver supreme smoothness. To provide the highest level of saltwater resistance, X-Protect has been incorporated and is proven to guard the reels’ internals from the intrusion of salt and sand. An AR-C spool features to maximise casting distance, and G Free Body shifts the centre of gravity closer to the rod, whilst Parallel Body achieves perfect rod and reel alignment to avoid line slap during the cast.

X-Ship provides better gearing and power, while AeroWrap II oscillation system delivers uniform line lay on its big pit AR-C spool, so casting to distant gutters and bommies has never been easier.

THE AERLEX IS A LONG CAST BIG PIT SURF REEL, DESIGNED TO HELP SURF CASTERS ACHIEVE MAXIMUM CASTING RANGE AND HIT DISTANT TARGETS. The XSB has an additional bearing on the main gear to improve the overall smoothness of rotation, while the handle is machined aluminium to improve its overall strength. As with all the big pit long cast reels, the Aerlex XSB utilises a worm driven oscillating system (Aerowrap II). This offers a much slower and more consistent line lay, which is essential for clean line release and greater casting distance.

THE TALICA IS A CASTABLE HIGH-SPEED LEVER DRAG THAT HAS BECOME A FAVOURITE OF SPORTFISHERS DUE TO ITS COMPACT SIZE AND HIGH LINE CAPACITY. A one-piece cold forged and machined aluminium frame has cutting-edge corrosion protection. Shimano then added a light-weight cold forged aluminium spool, a waterproof Cross Carbon drag system and six SA-RB bearings for super slick operation. The use of HEG in both high and low speeds sets Talica apart from any other reel, providing incredible cranking power.

THE NEW OCEA JIGGER OVERHEADS HAVE RECEIVED AN EXTREME MAKE-OVER. THIS ‘FLAGSHIP OF JIGGING REELS’ SERIES COMES WITH A NUMBER OF EXCITING FEATURES LIKE INFINITY DRIVE AND MICRO MODULE GEAR, WHICH RESULTS IN A 60 PER CENT REDUCTION IN THE REELING RESISTANCE COMPARED TO THE OLD MODEL, NOT TO MENTION A VERY SMOOTH RETRIEVE.

Developed to provide more powerful and light winding through bearings supporting the pinion gear. By doing so the rotational resistance of the reel has been decreased up to 60%.

The newly designed handle provides a firm grip and the ability to increase power without losing hold. The combination of the Hagane Body and S-Compact Body results in an immensely strong yet lightweight jigging reel. Thanks to the eight SA-RB ball bearings and X-Protect, it is also highly salt water resistant and durable. With a drag range of seven to ten kilos depending on the model, the new Ocea Jiggers can handle the biggest fish without a problem.

NEW The Hagane body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body stiffness and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing. The result transforms the angler’s actions directly into cranking power.

Shimano’s unique gear system brings you smooth power transmission by miniaturising the gear teeth as much as possible, through the intimate interlocking of teeth. With the increased number of interlocking teeth, the sensation of full power is transferred directly from you to the line.

MICROCOMPUTER

FOR SMARTER, MORE EFFICIENT LURE CASTING UNDER A VARIETY OF CIRCUMSTANCES, THE NEW CURADO DC REPRESENTS THE LATEST IN SHIMANO TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT.

COILS MAGNET

Designed to cast smarter, the DC (Digital Control) braking technology is the key element of this reel. When a cast is made, it automatically engages and controls the spool rotation by measuring its speed, and then applies the appropriate amount of braking force to keep the cast under control. While electronic, it doesn’t require a battery, as the system re-charges itself as the spool rotates. The DC offers four settings that enables anglers to fish a wide variety of lures of different shapes and sizes, in all weather conditions, without having to constantly fiddle with internal brake settings. It can also accommodate different casting techniques and even line type — monofilament, fluorocarbon or braid.

PERFECT CASTS, ANYTIME AND EVERY SITUATION Shimano’s new Digital Control braking system utilises a microcomputer to monitor spool speed 1,000 times every second and apply the perfect amount of brake to prevent backlash and maximise distance. Anglers of all skill levels will appreciate less thumbing and trouble-free casting in all conditions.

NEW

The Hagane body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body stiffness and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing. The result transforms the angler’s actions directly into cranking power.

FOR A LITTLE REEL, THE NEW SLX BAITCASTER HAS A BIG HEART. Inside the SLX’s Hagane Body, brass gearing delivers reliable cranking power and three SUS bearings and one roller bearing means everything turns smoothly. The reel incorporates a compact design that is comparable to a 70 sized Curado, however the reel has the same line capacity as Shimano’s standard 150 sized reels, accommodating 150m of 20lb Power Pro. A longer 45mm Throw Handle working in conjunction with two model options featuring gear ratios of 6.3:1 and 7.2:1, means that the slow and methodical lure worker and the angler who likes a bit of speed are well covered by the new SLX series. On top of this, max’ drag settings of between 5 and 5.5kg provides some amazing stopping power should it be needed.

The Shimano Stable Spool Design technology features balanced and uniform thin wall aluminium construction throughout the spool. This precision significantly reduces spool vibration and creates an incredibly smooth feeling when casting and retrieving.

Finally, the fish may not think much of the matt black and electric blue livery of the SLX series, but you can’t help but admire this eye-catching colour scheme.

ROD TECHNOLOGY Grip Painted: Surface area adjacent to a join on a multipiece rod has a rough painted surface to help grip while disassembling rod for storage or travel.

High modulus graphite construction.

INSERTED GLASS TIP

T45 involves a three step process by which the rods first process involves a graphite tape linear rolled at 45 degrees. The graphite tape reduces the weight greatly as it is not a complete sheet graphite. It is then reinforced by two opposing angled premium quality graphite sheets to create a light, extremely sensitive yet strong blank.

1.4x INCREASE IN TORSION STRENGTH

2.5x

INTEGRATED GLASS TIP

INCREASE IN BLANK STRENGTH

A technology where the manipulation of graphite on an atomic level delivers lighter, stronger and more durable fishing rods.

With Spiral X Core, the use of Carbon Infinity tape made using high-strength materials including *Nanoalloy® technology, further enhances the rod performance. In comparison with Spiral X, torsional & structural rigidity is improved by 10-15%

Custom Carbon Slick Butt: Use of an extra strong carbon sleeve to replace conventional PVC piping results in a stronger, lighter and an aesthetically pleasing Slick Butt. custom

SPLIT BUTT

Light, flexible, fibreglass blanks. WOODEN SAND SPIKE

Hard-wearing shaped timber is used for the butt end of surf and rock rods as a lasting and corrosion-free component against the rigours of sand, rocks and water. Graphite integrated fibreglass tip.

Utilising high quality graphite sheets rolled on custom designed mandrels, a sensitive yet extremely light-weight performance fishing blank is created. GRAPHITE BLANK

GRAPHITE COMPOSITE

Using separate grip materials for a butt grip and a reel seat grip allows for a more comfortable rod when casting, reduces unnecessary grip materials, and enhances the appearance of the overall handle. Shimano has engineered TC4 construction to create an extremely durable yet light rod, with a crisp feel. Based on double inner layers of advanced, dynamic T Glass, over-wrapped with a spiral of high-modulus graphite, this blank delivers super high performance that, when used with specific rod actions, is ideal for fishing braided lines.

Customised EVA grips, shaped for maximum comfort and performance.

FIBREGLASS BLANK

Using a complex rod blank manufacturing technique, a solid fibreglass tip section is woven into a tubular blank during the early stages of manufactured, producing a strong blank with a solid tip that is as tough as they come! By applying a special surface treatment, Shimano have succeeded in making natural cork more durable. Power Cork is tactile, ergonomic, lightweight and attractive, and yet it will not absorb moisture, is more resistant to bacteria and will not degrade or age cosmetically. Power Cork is also washable and will maintain its looks for years to come.

Spiral X construction uses three layers: a blank made of vertical fibres, an inner layer and an outer layer, both comprising of carbon tape that tightly winds the blank diagonally in opposite directions. By using this carbon tape in place of a conventional horizontal fibre sheet, Spiral X achieves enhanced torsional rigidity without adding extra weight.

The X5 blanks rods are built on a reduced diameter blank, but have higher torsional twist resistance and greater resistance to overloading.

To obtain a super flexible rod action for bait fishing, a soft, solid fibreglass tip section is inserted into a specially designed graphite blank, creating a lightweight, powerful rod that also allows a timidly biting fish to hook itself without feeling the stiff part of the blank action.

Rod blanks combining both graphite and fibreglass materials in a particular manner can create a blank with characteristics that are the best of both worlds, making a rod that has fibreglass robustness with the power of graphite.

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

NEXT GENERATION CONSTRUCTION USING HIGH-STRENGTH MATERIAL

REMOVES TWIST AND INCREASES ROD PERFORMANCE FROM INSIDE. INCREASES ROD PERFORMANCE BY OVERCOMING BLANK TWIST AND TORSIONS. Spiral X rods are designed to have better twisting, crushing and flexing resistance compared to traditional carbon sheet blanks. Featuring a unique method which employs carbon tape instead of carbon sheets, this allows Shimano engineers to develop fishing rod blanks that are built lighter and stronger and specifically tuned for various applications.

HI POWER X PROVIDES ACCURACY IN ROD ACTION THROUGH STRENGTH. IT PROVIDES AN IDEALLY ACCURATE ROD CURVE. High Power X prevents rods from twisting when casting and fighting by tightening up Spiral X construction or traditional rod construction with spiralled X-Shape Infinity carbon tape. Hi Power X enables a quickness and sharpness in rod action, producing the best blank performance.

FROM LIGHT TACKLE MARLIN AND TUNA, TO HEAVY TACKLE CHAIR RODS AND EVEN A POTENT DEEP DROP SWORDFISH OPTION, THE NEW TIAGRA HYPER RODS HAVE ALL YOUR GAME FISHING REQUIREMENTS SORTED. Shimano’s Tiagra Hyper game rods have those desired custom features and performance, but at an off the rack price. The new X5 blanks these rods are built on have a reduced diameter, but higher torsional twist resistance and greater resistance to overloading. The Hyper series also features the strongest, lightest game fishing componentry available. Rollers are Aftco, with oversized tips, while the sword rod makes use of braid-friendly Fuji SiC fixed guides and tip. Butt configurations utilise Pac Bay Channel Lock Seats and custom detachable carbon butts, with the exception of the 37 and 60kg chair rods, which are Aftco Unibutts. Foregrips are Winn polymer that provide the custom build look and function, but without the price. custom

NO MORE MAKING DO WITH A ROD THAT’S HALF RIGHT FOR A JOB - TEREZ GAME RODS DELIVER, WHETHER FISHING INSHORE OR MEANDERING BLUEWATER CURRENTS OUT WIDE. Keeping up with the light but powerful Shimano game reels like the Talica, the Terez Game series feature a unique carbon butt section, Aftco roller guides from the stripper the tip, EVA with Shrink Tube front grips and a custom shape to make it all the more comfortable when pulling on a monster marlin, swordfish or tuna. The use of TC4 blanks, containing double inner layers of advanced TGlass over-wrapped with a spiral of high modulus graphite for even greater sensitivity and robustness, means they are potent fish fighting tools.

Built on high-end TC4 three ply graphite weave blanks, the guides are ‘Tangle Free’ Fuji K series, while the positive lock reel seat and gimbals are from the same company. Wellshaped EVA grips are comfortable for the torrid fights jigging produces, while two-piece construction makes them easy to transport to and from the bluewater battlefield. LINE WT KG (LB)

SHIMANO’S BACKBONE ELITE RODS HAVE PROVEN HUGELY POPULAR WITH THE OFFSHORE GAME FISHING SET, DELIVERING A RANGE OF LINE CLASS OPTIONS AT REALLY GOOD PRICES. AND THE 2018 LINEUP HAS JUST BEEN GIVEN A WELLDESERVED TWEAK. There are eight rods in all; a 10kg stick with fixed guides and a roller tip, and three 15kg options in a selection of fixed guides, fixed guides with a roller tip, or fully rollered. The same choices are available in 24kg, and finally there’s a serious 37kg weapon with a roller tip. Of single-piece construction and 1.7m (5’ 7”) in length, the Backbone Elite blanks now utilise Shimano’s legendary TC3 material, which is the same three-ply graphite weave the early Tiagra Game Series rods were built on. The long EVA fighting foregrip has a new shape, which delivers a comfortable grip even with wet hands, and the guides, whether fixed or roller, are from Pacific Bay. The Slick Butts are durable and make it easy to remove a loaded up rod from a holder, while anodised aluminium reel seats and gimbals round out a very workmanlike package. The cosmetic has also been upgraded to a traditional game fishing colour scheme of black, gold and silver, making these rods an even sweeter pairing with Shimano’s TLD and Tyrnos lever drag reels. custom

THE JEWEL RANGE IS DESIGNED-BUILT FOR AUSTRALIAN SALTWATER AND FRESHWATER SPECIES. BUILT ON A T45 BLANK AND FITTED WITH FUJI K ALCONITE GUIDES AND TVS REEL SEAT, THE JEWELS REPRESENT HIGH END CONSTRUCTION AND SUPERIOR VALUE. The construction of the T45 blank sets the Jewel apart from traditional graphite design, where a graphite tape is linear rolled at 45 degrees and then reinforced by two opposing angled premium graphite sheets, creating a light yet extremely strong blank. Each rod within the Jewel range has been designed and handpicked with a target species in mind. There is a swimbait model for Murray cod, top water and jigging models for pelagic species, along with spin models for snapper right through to finesse bream. custom

MAIKURO, FROM THE JAPANESE WORD MEANING MICRO, IS A SERIES OF NANO GRAPHITE TECHNOLOGY RODS FROM SHIMANO They have a sleek, modern design with a matt black finish, white, silver and black trims, and stylish butt configurations incorporating the Sea Guide carbon hooded reel seat. The butt design is a combination of cork and extra hard EVA, which was selected for the best transmission of bites and sensitivity in the angler’s hand. Thanks to the highly responsive graphite blanks, this series is best suited to finesse lure-casting situations. There are rods that can be used for targeting light estuary species, freshwater fish like trout or yellowbelly, and of course barra. cu stom

THE REVAMPED REVOLUTION SERIES IS REVOLUTIONARY IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE. WITH 20 DIFFERENT RODS TO CHOOSE FROM IN SPIN, JIG, TROLL AND SURF, THEY’VE GOT YOU COVERED, WHATEVER THE TARGET SPECIES This is a wide-ranging series, consisting of light, medium and heavy spin, baitcast, jig and bluewater troll rods — in effect, almost every fishing style available in Australia! The new Revolution models have an updated cosmetic with all-new fittings. They make use of Fuji O Ring guides, which have increased protection for the insert, ‘Soft Touch’ reel seats for greater comfort during long fishing sessions, which in turn complement the hard-wearing custom-shaped EVA fore and butt grips. What’s more, the two-piece rods have a delightfully subtle ferruling system that you’d be hard pressed to pick. Utilising Shimano’s 24-30 Ton Toray graphite, the blanks the new Revolutions are built on combine casting performance — where applicable — with incredible lifting and fish fighting power.

TRAVEL SHIMANO HAVE REFINED THE TRAVEL ROD CONCEPT EVEN FURTHER, WITH THIS EXCELLENT SEVEN-ROD SERIES THAT ARE PERFECT FOR THE HIGHLY MOBILE ANGLER. Travel rods aren’t necessarily just for jet setters though. In the car, on public transport, even people who don’t have a lot of storage space at home shouldn’t miss out on using quality fishing tackle. Like the standard Revolution series, the Revolution Travel lineup now feature soft touch reel seats for greater comfort in the hand, full and split custom shaped EVA grips where applicable, and Fuji’s amazing O Ring Guides, where the insert is protected by the frame from knocks and scrapes. Most importantly in a travel rod though, the ferruling system is pretty well undetectable, and in no way diminishes the feel and performance characteristics of these great baitcast and spin rods. They all break down in to three pieces, with the 904 Spin into four.

FOR MANY YEARS NOW, THE RAIDER SERIES OF BAITCAST AND SPIN RODS HAVE BEEN DELIVERING SCINTILLATING CASTING AND FISH FIGHTING PERFORMANCE TO AUSTRALIAN ANGLERS FROM TASSIE TO DARWIN — AND JUST ABOUT EVERY FISHING DESTINATION IN BETWEEN. OVER TIME, THE RANGE HAS CONTINUED TO GROW AS TACKLE AND TECHNIQUES HAVE CHANGED AND NEW ONES HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED. The lineup utilises custom Shimano reel seats, ergonomically-shaped EVA for the ’yak models, cork split and full grips where applicable for the rest, and Fuji aluminium oxide guides. The 24 Ton Toray graphite blanks these superlative rods are based upon have stood the test of time — combining strength with lightness and crisp castability, whether you’re spinning for oyster rack bream or bashing the snags for runoff barra. Some are two-piece for travellers or those with storage issues, but the ferruling system makes no difference to the respective rods’ performance. Like fine wine, every Raider vintage is an improvement on the last.

SHIMANO’S TAIPANS ARE EVERY BIT AS DEADLY AS THE SNAKE THEY ARE NAMED AFTER. This series has traditional bait fishing actions that remain popular with many anglers. They are built on graphite blanks with integrated fibreglass tips to increase performance and keep the weight down, but are hard wearing into the bargain. The longer rods are two and three piece, with indistinguishable ferruling to maintain the desired actions. LURE WT. G (OZ)

THE SAYING “GETTING MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK” MEANS GETTING THE MOST FOR YOUR MONEY, WHICH EPITOMISES THE CATANA SERIES — MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE RODS AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE. Sharp in quality and performance, just like the swords they were named after, the Catana series are maximum quality rods that won’t break the blank. They are built on 24 Ton Toray graphite blanks, which provide a sensitivity and lightness to enhance the fishing experience. Each model has Sea Guide Zirconium ring guides bound in black, metal winding checks surrounding the split and full EVA butt configurations, and customised Shimano reel seats.

The AeroWave Graphite series utilises high modulus graphite blanks, with a unique Counter Weight Balance (CWB) system that beautifully balances the rod once a reel is fitted. This balance contributes to a longer, smoother cast, and less fatigue for the angler. Featuring Fuji K Series Alconite guides, Shimano custom reel seats fashioned with split EVA grips and Shimano’s X-Shrink grip wrap, they’re comfortable to hold and preserve an already light and crisp action.

A variety of dynamic power ratings have been developed by Shimano to provide a rod for most styles of landbased fishing. Each model has a unique Counter Weight Balance (CWB) in the butt that provides incomparable stability and casting power, and a selection of EVA grips and traditional wood spikes. All rods feature medium height customised Shimano reel seats for surf reel use, while the guides are Fuji Aluminium Oxide. If you’re after a reduced weight option with a traditional rock and beach rod feel, then check these out.

LIFE STYLE GEAR

LSG TECHNOLOGY Full through wire construction. THROUGH

Power Pro’s Enhanced Body Technology (EBT) utilises original processing. The additional line treatment/processing results in an overall improvement in line toughness, abrasion resistance, and fights line dig in comparison to Spectra line.

WIRE

Shimano’s 3X body combines materials with a reinforced design, giving higher impact resistance and three times the strength compared to a standard design.

This unique system adopts a moving spring weight. At the moment of the cast, it slides to the back of the lure, creating centrifugal force. This accelerates the lure, and during flight it stays straighter and is more direct, resulting in on average a 20% improvement in casting distance as well as higher accuracy. Upon landing, the spring shifts the weight forward and the lure regains its balance and action. The X AR-C System combines the ground-breaking AR-C Propulsion Weight Transfer System with the AR-C Shell Body Design. The AR-C Body uses a foam resin material that naturally floats. Due to this, the lure can be manufactured with thicker walls and fewer air pockets, which makes it heavier and slimmer, improving casting distance.

X Tough Cross incorporates a tight weave construction, which improves overall linear strength and knot strength. Another advantage is that it lowers elongation and heightens sensitivity, making it perfect for high-end fishing.

Spectra is recognised as the premium braided fishing line fibre. Spectra lasts twice as long in abrasion testing as comparable material.

A primary benefit of using polyurethane coatings is the protection it provides the surface. It creates what is essentially an impermeable barrier between the elements and the object it’s covering.

Fibre is weaved evenly at all angles, resulting in a smoother finish, reduced diameter, and ultimately a longer cast by the angler.

NEW KAIRIKI 8 FROM SHIMANO UTILISES THE NEW ‘VT CONSTRUCTION METHOD’ OF BRAIDING TECHNOLOGY. FEATURING EIGHT CARRIERS AND INCORPORATING PREMIUM JAPANESE MANUFACTURING, THE NEW TIGHT WEAVE VT CONSTRUCTION IS CREATED BY APPLYING HIGH TENSION FROM OPPOSING DIRECTIONS DURING THE BRAIDING PROCESS. During the VT Construction Method, fibre is weaved evenly at all angles, resulting in a smoother finish, reduced diameter, and ultimately a longer cast by the angler. Additionally, the smooth finish creates less friction through the guides, minimising casting noise, and aids to a stealthier approach. The tight weave achieves enhanced sensitivity, resulting in less than three per cent stretch (0.8 gou: breaking elongation). This attribute mean Kairiki 8 knots beautifully, and is an excellent choice for finesse lure fishing where castability, smoothness and sensitivity are required to deliver that extra edge.

SHIMANO’S EX FLUOROCARBON LEADER IS THINNER FOR ITS BREAKING STRAIN THAN CONVENTIONAL NYLON, WHICH CAN BE A HUGE PLUS WHEN DEALING WITH PRESSURED FISH. Being fluorocarbon, Ocea EX doesn’t absorb water, which gives it a faster sink rate. It’s also less visible due to its clear colour, and the refractive index is very similar to that of water. It is supple, with good knot integrity, and the smooth Fluorine outer coating means it travels through rod guides with minimal friction.

WIND-ON LEADERS WITH A DACRON LOOP AT THE END MAKES CONTROLLING A FISH BOATSIDE FAR EASIER, AND MEANS THAT IT CAN BE NETTED, GAFFED OR TAGGED WITHOUT ANYONE ELSE HAVING TO TOUCH THE LEADER — WHICH IS OFTEN THE REASON FOR PULLED HOOKS. The game fishing leaders are all 20 feet in length, but just remember that if using light tackle (ten kilo and under) they can only be a maximum of 15 feet in length if fishing under IGFA rules.
