Overview
Propulsion Line Management System
The most obvious component of the Propulsion Line Management System is the new Propulsion Spool Lip design. Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations, Shimano’s new spool lip design provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design while also preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming.
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.
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 pleasure 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 special 3D-design and then formed by Shimano's cold-forging technology. The result is assured resilience. HAGANE Gear is the fruit of Shimano's inexhaustible pursuit for durability — the strength and power of forged metal continues to represent the fundamental concept of Shimano reels.
Parallel Body
Parallel Body is designed to improve dynamic line flow from the reel to the first guide. On many reels the spool is aligned slightly upwards towards the rod blank, but reels with Parallel Body have the spool located at exactly 90° to the blank. The result: less line slapping on the blank as it travels towards the first guide during the cast, ultimately increasing performance.
RigidCast
RigidCast technology is a design philosophy that balances the strength and lightness of the main shaft, rotor and body to withstand the impact of extreme casting force. RigidCast minimizes the wobbling movement of the spool and the deflection of the main shaft and body during the initial moments of the cast. This design results in better line release timing while reducing the friction on the line leaving the spool to increase casting distance and accuracy.
S A-RB Spinning
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 rotation of the bearing.
SilentDrive
SilentDrive technology benefits from a total redesign of all functional parts focused on the drive gear, worm shaft and other parts. The goal: remove unnecessary noise and vibration. In doing so, the overall tolerances are improved to a micron level, ultimately creating an overall quieter and smoother reel operation.
Super Slow Oscillation 5
Slower spool oscillation reduces the speed the line travels up and down the spool on the cast. This results in less friction as the line leaves the spool, improving casting distance and accuracy. Shimano’s Standard Oscillation — up to 20 wraps per cycle — outperforms the industry standard. Shimano’s Slow Oscillation tops that with up to 40 wraps per cycle and exceeds almost any other reel on the market. Shimano now offers two Super Slow Oscillation systems: Super Slow 5 (55 wraps) and Super Slow 10 (105 wraps).
X-Ship Spinning
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 allows the gears to stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. The added benefit of X-Ship technology is that friction between the spool shaft and gear are eliminated. This further benefits anglers with enhanced casting performance and casting distance of lighter lures.
