Top 10 Best Shimano Reel

The Shimano SLX is an incredibly sleek looking baitcaster with a stunning matte black finish and beautiful blue accents. This reel is 22 more compact than the Caenan Baitcaster but its small size does not mean it lacks in strength and with an amazing 150 PowerPro line capacity for such a compact reel. Packed into Shimano's signature HAGANE metal reel body this reel is highly rigid with incredible body stiffness and the impact resistane provided by the HAGANE body virtually eliminates body flexing. Featuring 6 Pin VBS adjustments encased under an easy access side plate which allows you to set the reel and cast control for whatever lure you are using under any weather conditions. Available in various retreive options for both the right hand and left handed models Regular Gear at 6.31 High Gear at 7.21 and Extra High Gear at 8.21.

Shimanos MicroModule Gear II. Rotational smoothness and power transfer. Silent Drive. X-Protect water-repellent coating. Water channeling, labyrinth construction.

Protect your valuable conventional and bait casting reels with shimano's new neoprene reel covers. All sides made of neoprene to help absorb and protect from bumps and scratches. The design allows for reel covers to be mounted while the reel is on or off the rod. Stretchy neoprene material slips on easily and absorbs scratches and bumps. Constructed of a 2-tone 3mm impact resistant neoprene material.

CI4 Body This material is an advanced version of the original CI4. This highly technical carbon material maintains 2.5 times more rigidity than CI4. While improving lightness and rigidity, the body is further reduced in size and weight.. MGL Rotor The new design of the MagnumLite Rotor produces unprecedented light rotation. The rotor profile is now asymmetrical. The bail arm mechanism, which was previously situation on the same side as the line roller, has been moved to the opposite side. This improves balance and combined with a lightweight line roller, titanium bail and optimum arrangement of rotor thickness, a 14 reduction in rotational inertia has been achieved increasing sensitivity to unreached levels. Hagane Gear With 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 Shimano's cold forging technology. MIcroModule Gear II 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 analyzed and updated from the ground up in pursuit of perfection. Further improving smooth gear feeling and reducing sound.. Silent Drive 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..

HAGANE Body The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power. It's efficiency through strength.. HIgh Efficiency Gearing HEG consists of not only the gears, but also the frame, setplate, and handle-side sideplate. First we increased the size of the drive gear and the pinion gear to offer increased leverage and power. By using a one-piece frame that incorporates the setplate and adding a one-piece stamped sideplate, we have eliminated flex in the drive train that causes gears to bind under pressure.. Cross Carbon Drag This drag material provides a wider range of drag settings, along with the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.. E.I. Surface Treatment Shimano's proprietary surface treatment of the spool and body allow corrosion resistance more than double the conventional surface treatment.. A-RB Bearings These stainless steel ball bearings are specially treated to drastically increase the corrosion resistance of the bearing. These bearings will last at least 10 times longer than standard stainless steel ball bearings in high salinity environments..

The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power. Iy'ss efficiency through strength.. SVS Infinity - Shimano's newest innovation in brake system technology, SVS Infinity provides easy-to-manage, consistent spool control and brake force. With weights that use inner friction against the raceway during the cast, SVS Infinity controls spool speed for precision casting especially when using lighter lures. The external adjustment knob provides for quick, precise adjustments for either the conditions or when you switch baits. S3D Spool - This technology leads to reduced spool vibration. By designing a balanced and uniform thin wall aluminum constructed spool, S3D creates an incredibly smooth feel casting and retrieveing lures. Super Free Spool - Was designed to eliminate friction on the spool shaft during the cast. In standard baitcasting reels, hen the clutch bar is pressed down, the pinion gear is freed and actually can drag on the spool shaft creating friction that can limit the length of the length of the cast. With Super Free, the pinion gear is supported by a ball bearing so that when the clutch is disengaged for a cast, the pinion gear and spool shaft are kept in perfect alignment..

Hagane Gear - Boasts amazing strength and durability. Cross Carbon Drag The ideal material for the high drag pressure setting, with smoothness and consistent performance. Long Stroke Spool - less turbulence going through the guides for a smoother and longer cast.
