PRODUCT
TECHNOLOGIES
MICROMODULE
The MicroModule Gear technology creates a smooth retrieve by
utilizing smaller teeth to increase the number of contact points between the
drive gear and pinion gear.
X SHIP
X 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 increased support allows the gears to stay
in the same position under the heaviest loads. X-Ship technology also
eliminates the friction between the spool shaft and gear to further benefit
anglers with enhanced casting performance and casting distance of lighter
lures.
SVS∞
SVS Infinity, provides easy-to-manage, consistent spool control
and brake force. With brake weights that use inner friction against the raceway
during the cast, SVS Infinity controls spool speed for precision casting. The
external adjustment knob provides for quick, precise adjustments when anglers
need to adjust to the conditions or when they switch baits.
CI4+
CI4 is a resin material reinforced with carbon fiber that is
lighter and has a higher strength than conventional resin material. CI4+ is an
advanced version of the original CI4 material.The rigidity and durability have
been greatly improved from original CI4 material while maintaining the
lightness of the material, making it possible to reduce the size and weight of
the reel.
CROSS CARBON DRAG
The CROSS CARBON DRAG provides the smooth drag release and the
durability.
S3D
S3D SPOOL leads to significantly reduced spool vibration. This
creates an smooth feeling when casting.
S A-RB
S A-RB bearings are put through the same process as Shimano’s
A-RB bearings but feature shields on both sides of the bearings. These shields
reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the rotation of the bearing.
SUPER FREE SPOOL
SUPER FREE SPOOL reduces friction on the spool shaft during the
cast and enhances casting performance.
