HAGANE
HAGANE is a Shimano
reel design concept created to withstand continual use and extreme abuse.
HAGANE is an innovation with built-in toughness and durability that works
alongside Shimano's precision engineering. HAGANE is for all anglers.
HAGANE GEAR
With amazing
strength and durability, the HAGANE Gear is at the very heart of most Shimano
reels. Shimano, through the application of state-of-the-art technologies, gives
anglers the long-lasting smoothness and enjoyment that is felt when anglers
first use a reel, over and over again. No cutting work is applied to the teeth
of the drive gear during fabrication; instead, the entire surface is calculated
in minute detail by a special 3D design and then formed by Shimano's
cold-forging technology. The result is assured resilience. HAGANE Gear is the
result of Shimano's endless pursuit for durability — this strength and power of
forged metal continue to represent the fundamental concept of Shimano reels.
MICROMODULEⅡ
The MICROMODULE
Gear II has evolved with Shimano's unique manufacturing technology and a
state-of-the-art gear-tooth surface design. The drive and pinion gear surfaces
have been analyzed and updated from the ground up in Shimano's pursuit of
perfection to further improve the smooth gear feeling and reduce sound.
X SHIP
X SHIP provides
improved gear performance. Large diameter drive gear, optimally positioned
pinion gear and drive gear, and two points bearings supported pinion gear
produce light reeling under load.
SILENTDRIVE
The basic design of
the entire body and drive-related parts were reviewed one by one to reduce
minute rattles, gaps, and shaking between parts down to the smallest detail. It
provides smooth and quiet reel rotation.
MGL ROTOR
The new design of
the MAGNUMLITE ROTOR produces unprecedented light and sensitive rotation. The
rotor profile — which was previously symmetrical — is now asymmetrical, and the
bail arm mechanism — previously situated on the same side as the line roller —
has been moved to the opposite side. Furthermore, the line roller has been
lightened, the bail has been made of titanium, and the rotor wall thickness has
been optimally arranged to successfully reduce rotational inertia.
X PROTECT
For medium and
small general-purpose spinning reels, which require lighter spinning, we
focused on a non-contact structure that does not compromise the lightness of
the spinning. In addition to conventional water-repellent treatment, a
labyrinth structure that suppresses water penetration is combined to achieve
high water-resistant performance despite the non-contact nature of the
structure. It is used in the stopper bearing section and line roller section.
Large reels for saltwater, a contact-type water-resistant structure is used for
large spinning reels that require higher water-resistant performance. By
physically cutting off the entry path of seawater with a low-sliding seal
member, high water-resistant performance is achieved while suppressing
rotational resistance. The stopper bearing and line roller parts are adopted,
and the stopper bearing part in particular achieves a water-resistant rating
equivalent to IPX8.
G FREE BODY
G FREE BODY
technology has been developed to shift the reel's center of gravity closer to
the rod. By moving the center of gravity closer to the angler’s hand, the G
FREE BODY helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.
AR-C SPOOL
The spool has a
special spool ring shape. This creates a rectifying effect on the line and
realizes both suppression of line trouble and long casting performance.
LONG STROKE SPOOL
The LONG STROKE
SPOOL has a longer stroke compared to conventional spool designs. It
contributes to improved casting feel and distance.
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.
*Body material
& Rotor material
SA-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.
ONE-PIECE BAIL
ONE-PIECE
BAILallows the line to travel unimpeded to the line roller. The seamless design
reduces friction and decreases the chance of tangles or the line catching on
the bail arm.
KAISUI OK
Models that can be
used in saltwater
Newly designed bail opening and closing mechanism
Pursuit of smooth
feeling when opening. Wide opening and closing angles for improved feathering.
Prevents the bail from bending back unexpectedly.
New shape line clip
Newly shaped clip for easy removal and improved holding power. It can be used with a wide range of lures from No. 0.2 ester to 40 lb. fluorocarbon.
