G FREE BODYG Free Body technology has been developed to shift the reels center of gravity closer to the rod. By moving the center of gravity closer to the anglers hand position, the G Free Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort. |
X-SHIPX-Ship provides improved gear durability. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This means the gears will stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. The added benefit is that friction between the spool shaft and gear are eliminated. This will enhance the casting performance of the reel with lighter lures, and allow for longer casts. |
HAGANE BODYThe HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body stiffness and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing. The result transforms the anglers actions directly into cranking power. Its efficiency through strength. |
CROSS CARBON DRAGThis drag material provides a wider range of drag settings, along with the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever. |

S A-RBThese bearings have been through the same process as our A-RB bearings, but feature shields on both sides of the bearings that reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the bearings rotation. |
HAGANE GEARWith amazing strength and durability, the HAGANE Gear is at the very heart of the reel. Shimano, through the application of state-of-the-art technologies, gives you the long-lasting smoothness and pleasure that you feel when you first use a reel, over and over again. No cutting work is applied to the teeth of the drive gear. Instead the entire surface is calculated in minute detail by special 3D design and then formed by Shimanos cold forging technology. The result is assured resilience. Its the fruit of Shimanos inexhaustible pursuit for durability; the strength and power of forged metal continues to represent the fundamental concept of Shimano reels. |
MICRO MODULE GEAR IIState-of-the-art, gear tooth surface design and MicroModule Gear II, are further advanced through Shimanos exclusive manufacturing technology. The surfaces of the drive gear and pinion gear have been analyzed and updated from the ground up in pursuit of perfection. |
X-PROTECTBy combining our water repellent coating and our specially designed, water channeling, labyrinth construction, X Protect provides high-level water resistance without sacrificing light gear and rotor rotation. |
