OUR GOAL, ETERNALLY SMOOTH REELING

REEL MANUFACTURING BASED ON THE HAGANE CONCEPT IS SUPPORTED BY THE UNIQUE METALWORKING TECHNOLOGY THAT SHIMANO HAS DEVELOPED OVER THE YEARS.

HAGANE GEAR

The HAGANE Drive Gear is produced by SHIMANO’s cold forging technology, without the need for additional machining. This results in gearing parts which retain the characteristics of the pure material, keeping it as strong as possible.

BENEFIT

This delivers a long lasting smoothness, strength, lightness and power at the very heart of the reel. Traditional die cast machined gears are less durable under heavy loads, but HAGANE Gear is tremendously strong and durable.

MICROMODULE GEAR

Micromodule Gearis a gear component made with great precision. The super-reﬁned teeth produce seamless engagement with other gears.

BENEFIT

Micromodule Gear has two advantages: increased smoothness and better sensitivity. This results in accurate performance with improved power transmission.

XSHIP

X-SHIP stands for Extra Smooth & High Power. It is a precision gearing system which enables smooth yet strong reeling. By supporting the pinion gear at both ends and integrating a bigger drive gear with improved positioning, increased gearing eﬃciency and power is produced. It results in ultra-light handle rotation combined with excellent power eﬃciency.

BENEFIT

This enhances the smooth operation of the reel, while at the same time improving power transmission from the handle to the rotor. This means less eﬀort and more power - giving a perfect rotation, even under heavy loads and high pressure. The X-SHIP components are strong, precise and durable.

HAGANE BODY

HAGANE Body is made out of precision machined aluminium or magnesium. These body designs create stiﬀness and impact resistance, while at the same time eliminating ﬂexing of the body. The HAGANE Body is highly rigid and protects gear rotation performance from heavy loads and shocks.

BENEFIT

The high rigidity makes the reel body very strong, tough and protects the gears and inner workings. At the same time, the body has a low weight and minimal ﬂex, warp or distortion. The result is a rock-solid housing and support for the moving internal gearing and greater eﬃciency throughout the reel. This helps increase smoothness and powerful reeling.

Ci4+

A Ci4+ Body is made out of Ci4+ composite material with very special characteristics. It is stronger than the original Ci4 and XT-7 graphite, and also lighter in weight. Ci4+ parts are lighter and stronger than any other composite material SHIMANO uses in their products.

BENEFIT

The application of a Ci4+ Body results in a lightweight yet strong reel.Reels with a Ci4+ body are ideal for lure ﬁshing when continuous casting is required.

G FREE BODY

G Free body technology has been developed to shift the reel’s centre of gravity closer to the rod. This has been achieved by moving the oscillation mechanism more towards the top of the reel. By moving the centre of gravity closer to the angler’s hand position, the G Free body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.

BENEFIT

The closer the reel’s centre of gravity is to the rod, the better the combination of rod and reel balance. The reel actually feels lighter, because the weight is closer the hand. This results in a reel with improved casting balance, which requires less casting eﬀort, which will reduces fatigue when ﬁshing over extended periods.

XPROTECT

X-Protect is a water-resistant technology that comes in several forms and is dependent on the reel category and intended usage of each reel.

The roller clutch in smaller reels works with a “non-contact style” water resistance. Non-contact style makes use of a labyrinth structure along with a water repellent material that ensures both light rotation and water resistance performance. Compared to larger reels, smaller reels require sensitivity and a suﬃcient level of water resistance. The non-contact style protects the reel but does not sacriﬁce rotation lightness.

BENEFIT

X-Protect seals the roller clutch and line roller to prevent water intrusion. This advanced protection technology increases the durability of the reel and gives a high level protection in even the toughest conditions. This ensures good performance for a long time, without aﬀecting the smoothness of the reel when rotating.

COREPROTECT

Coreprotect is a SHIMANO technology which is developed to keep water out of the reel, without creating a heavier rotation feeling, in two areas:

1. The Roller Clutch Bearing. This is the most critical area when comes to balancing water resistance without aﬀecting the light and smooth rotation. A surface protection coating causes water to bead preventing water from ﬂowing into the small crevices where it can reach the mechanism of the roller clutch bearing.

2. The Line Roller: A line roller with Coreprotect has a design that provides water resistance and low maintenance.

BENEFIT

Core Protect prevents water entering the body of the reel.This prevents corrosion and other problems with the gearing orother internal parts of the reel.

REEL SPECIFICATION EXPLANATION

PRODUCT CODE - The product code is used by all SHIMANO dealers to identify the model. The number (1000) indicates the reel size.

REEL SIZE - Reels are available in various sizes: 500, 1000, 2000, 2500, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000 - and larger. The number indicates the line capacity: a 1000 sized spool contains less line than a 3000 sized spool.

WEIGHT - The weight indicates the weight of the reel in grams.

GEAR RATIO - The Gear Ratio of the reel indicates the speed of the reel. This is showed in a number which includes the amount of turns of the rotor (360 degrees) in one full rotation of the handle.

SILENTDRIVE

The SilentDrive technology encompasses the total redesign of the internal components to reduce microscopic handle play and eliminating noise and any unnatural feeling from the worm shaft drive. The combination of these redesigned components and extremely ﬁne engineering tolerances produces an extremely smooth and silent reeling sensation.

BENEFIT

SilentDrive produces smoother, silent rotation and improved performance. This improves the complete ﬁshing experience of the reel.

ONE PIECE BAIL

One Piece Bail is a bail arm made from one piece of material, which allows the line to slide very smoothly over it to the line roller. In addition, this one piece construction results in a stronger bail arm, which is much less likely to bend, or even break, under enormous pressure.

BENEFIT

Its seamless and incredibly strong design reduces friction and the chance of tangles when in operation. It also enables the line to be quickly located to the roller when engaging the bail arm after a cast.

RIGID SUPPORT DRAG

When hooking a large ﬁsh, the smoothness of the initial movement of the drag is the most important to avoid line break. By supporting the spool with the main shaft and two bearing links in the spool, it is possible to suppress the spool’s ﬂutter and to provide stable and smooth drag performance.

BENEFIT

Rigid Support Drag eliminates spool movement and wobble, even at light drag settings. The result is an incredibly smooth drag even at extremely light settings.

ARC SPOOL

AR-C is a spool-lip design technology exclusive to SHIMANO. Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations, it has been determined that the AR-C spool lip design provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design, while preventing backlashes and wind knots. It also allows the line to flow off the spool in smaller loops during the cast, which means less line slap on the first guide.

BENEFIT

The AR-C spool ensures the line leaves the spool with a minimum of friction and with small loops. This makes longer casting possible with a reduced chance of knots.

LINE CAPACITY - The spool line capacity indicates how much line can be spooled on the reel spool. This is communicated in length of metres (m) or yards (yds) and line diameter (mm) or line strength (lb).

LINE RETRIEVE - The ‘line retrieve per crank / handle turn’ speciﬁcation explains how much line is retrieved in one full turn of the reel handle. This is measured in centimetres. This indicates the retrieving speed of the reel.

Bearings

Waterproof Drag

MAXIMUM DRAG - The maximum drag force is a number in kg/lb, which shows the maximum tension of the drag.

BEARINGS - Indicates the number of bearings the reel has.

WATERPROOF DRAG - A tick or cross indicates if the reel features waterproof drag or not.

SPARE SPOOL CODE - The spare spool code for the spool.

SPINNING FRONT DRAG REELS

With unmatched sensitivity, ultra-light feel, and the raw strength to conquer the toughest situations, their sleek, sophisticated design is a feast for both the eyes and the hands.

No matter which front drag reel you choose, one thing is certain - when it comes to quality, value, and unforgettable experiences, SHIMANO stands unrivaled.

INFINITYXROSS

InfinityXross is an advanced drive gear technology that uses wider gear teeth. The increased surface area distributes pressure more evenly across the full face of the teeth as they meet during rotation. Compared to similar sized gears, InfinityXross increases durability without affecting smoothness.

BENEFIT

InﬁnityXross delivers more durability, especially when under extreme pressure, resulting in the increased lifespan of the reel. This enables the reel to work to its maximum ‘original’ performance for longer without degradation.

INFINITYDRIVE

InﬁnityDrive has been introduced to complement the existing X-SHIP system to deliver light and powerful winding. In spinning reels this development reduces the friction of spool oscillation with a special design and combination of parts. As a result, handle rotation resistance is reduced considerably, when compared to a conventional system, resulting in easier winding, even under extreme pressure.

BENEFIT

InfinityDrive enables light, but extremely powerful winding, which helps to fight powerful fish in an extreme salt water environment.

INFINITYLOOP

InfinityLoop is an ultra slow line oscillation designed for smaller spinning reels. The spool moves up and down very slowly as the rotor wraps line onto it, allowing the line to spool in an almost parallel configuration. This creates a smooth profile that improves line management when casting and also when playing fish.

BENEFIT

InﬁnityLoop oscillation reduces the speed the line travels up and down the spool on the cast. This results in less friction and vibration as line leaves the spool and reduces drag on the lure, which improves casting distance and accuracy. When playing ﬁsh, the line is released from the turning spool more smoothly, increasing control.

ANTITWIST FIN

Anti-Twist Fin is an elastic and removable ﬁn placed on the rotor next to the line roller. It is designed to create the perfect tension between the line and the spool and improve line management eﬃciency, especially when using supple, thin diameter braid and mono.

BENEFIT

Anti-Twist Fin is especially advantageous for anglers ﬁshing supple, ultra thin braid and mono. If the line between the reel and the lure/lead goes slack when stopping a retrieve, or immediately after casting, the Anti-Twist Fin prevents the line from falling away from the line roller and creating additional slack.

DURACROSS DRAG

DuraCross Drag is an advanced drag washer construction that combines the best characteristics and feel of felt washers, including initial hooking power, with the increased durability of cross-carbon washers.

BENEFIT

DuraCross Drag is a fantastic combination of feel and durability. It provides enough initial power (spike) to set hooks eﬀectively, with enhanced smoothness and durability for a better ﬁsh-playing experience.

METAL ROTOR

Improved drag performance, a solid rotor through & through Experience the featherweight rigid metal rotor made from Aluminium and Mangesium alloys. The high rigidity of the rotor will allow you to ﬁsh at ease without worries of distortion. Sturdy yet light, the reeling motion will feel unimaginably smooth.

MAGNUMLITE ROTOR

The Magnumlite Rotoris an ultra-light improved rotor made out of Ci4+ material. The proﬁle of the rotor is made asymmetrical and the bail arm mechanism, which is usually situated on the same side as the line roller, has been moved to the opposite side. Both of these changes improve the balance.

BENEFIT

Magnumlite Rotor makes the reel lighter, better balanced and it increases the sensitivity. This contributes to an overall improved experience of the reel with better, lighter and smoother reeling.

LONG STROKE SPOOL

The Long Stroke Spooldesign has a longer stroke, compared to conventional spool designs. This long stroke speciﬁcation results in longer casting distances.

BENEFIT

Long Stroke Spoolenables the angler to cast increased distances with the same amount of force.

CORESOLID SERIES

CORESOLID IS THE NAME FOR THE SPINNING REELS THAT HAVE A HIGH ROTOR STARTUP INERTIA, RESULTING IN A SILKY SMOOTH ROTATION FEELING.

MAGNUMLITE SERIES

MAGNUMLITE SERIES IS THE NAME FOR SPINNING REELS THAT HAVE A LOW ROTOR STARTUP INERTIA, FOR QUICK LURE STARTUP AND PRECISE LURE CONTROL.

Upgrade to SHIMANO and go the distance.

LONG RANGE CASTING TECHNOLOGY

PARALLEL BODY

SHIMANO’s Parallel Body technology ensures the rod and reel alignment is perfectly parallel. The axel and spool are parallel to the rod, minimising the amount of line slapping onto the blank between the spool and the ﬁrst guide during the cast.

BENEFIT

Parallel Body increases the overall casting performance of a reel. It makes more precise and longer casting possible, and reduces the potential for tangling because there is less friction and line slap during a cast, especially in the area around the ﬁrst guide.

SPOOL REDUCERS

Spool reducers are plastic bands which are included with some reels (usually reels with a big spool capacity). They can be clicked on the spool, in order to reduce the spool capacity.

BENEFIT

Spool reducers reduce the line capacity of the spool preventing excessive use of additional line to achieve the correct spooling proﬁle.

RIGID CAST

Rigid Cast technology produces the optimal balance of rigidity and lightness on the main spool shaft to minimise deﬂection of the spool caused by extreme force during casting.

BENEFIT

Rigid Cast technology minimises deﬂection of the spool during extreme casting. This improves casting distance and accuracy by stabilising the timing release of the line.

HISPEED DRAG

Hi-speed drag is SHIMANO’s fastest drag system and can change the drag setting from free-spool mode to ﬁghting mode with only a very small turn to the knob located on the front of the spool.

BENEFIT

A very accurate and user-friendly free spool system. The angler can change the drag from free spool to ﬁght settings in a split second. This provides optimal control and quick handling during the take and whilst playing a ﬁsh.

OSCILLATION

Slower spool oscillation reduces the speed the line travels up and down the spool on the cast. This results in less friction as line leaves the spool and reduced drag on the lead, which improves casting distance and accuracy.

INSTANTDRAG

SHIMANO Instant-Drag allows a quick adjustment of the front drag knob to take the reel from a current drag setting to free spool in just half a turn (and vice-versa).

BENEFIT

A very accurate and user-friendly free spool system. The angler can change the drag from free spool to fight settings in only a split second. This provides optimal control and quick handling during the take and the fight of a fish. It only takes a half turn (180 degrees) of the drag knob to close the drag. It’s incredibly simple, accurate and easy to use.

STANDARD OSCILLATION

Up to 20 wraps per cycle. Outperforms the industry standard.

SUPER SLOW 5

A minimum of 45-55 wraps per cycle. This makes almost perfect parallel spooling possible and gives a huge improvement in casting distance and precision.

SLOW OSCILLATION

Up to 35-40 wraps per cycle. This slow oscillation exceeds almost all other manufacturers reels.

SUPER SLOW 10

A minimum of 95-110 wraps per cycle. This produces parallel line spooling and the best casting distance, control and precision possible.

HAGANE BODY

LONG STROKE SPOOL

CAST FAR, CAST ACCURATE

INFINITYDRIVE

BENEFIT

InfinityDrive enables light, but extremely powerful winding, which helps to fight powerful fish in an extreme salt water environment.

XTOUGH DRAG & XXTOUGH DRAG

X-Tough Drag is SHIMANO’s toughest drag conﬁguration and incorporates large diameter drag washers at the base of the spool, which provide greater drag stability. The result is smooth and consistent drag performance throughout the ﬁght.

The XX-Tough Drag system uses large washers to clamp the spool from both the top and bottom, providing enhanced heat resistance and durability during intense ﬁghts with large ﬁsh.

BENEFIT

X-Tough Drag creates a more durable, smoother drag with increased stability. This results in more assured ﬁsh-playing, even in the most extreme circumstances.

HEAT SINK DRAG

Heat Sink technology enables dissipation of excessive heat build-up when the spool is rotating quickly and keeps the heat away from the spool surface and drag washer where it can cause a reduction in drag performance.

BENEFIT

When playing ﬁsh under extreme pressure, it is quite common for the drag pressure to reduce in resistance as heat builds up in the spool and drag system due to friction. The Heat Sink technology dissipates heat away from important areas and enables maximum drag performance to be maintained for longer. An additional advantage is it also keeps heat away from your line reducing potential damage.

DRAG SECTION

INSULATION SHEET

HEATSINK PANEL

XSHIELD

By placing sealing gaskets in critical locations throughout the reel body, SHIMANO is able to create a water resistant structure that can hold up against the toughest conditions, giving excellent protection from water and foreign object ingress.

BENEFIT

Because of the X-Shield water resistant sealing, the reel is protected against water, dirt, salt and dust. That’s really important, because water and foreign objects can aﬀect the functioning of the gearing and other mechanical parts of the reel. X-Shield also increases the life-time and durability of the reel and ensures excellent longevity of performance.

XPROTECT

X-Protect is a water-resistant technology that comes in several forms and is dependent on the reel category and intended usage of each reel.

The roller clutch (body area) in large spinning reels works with a “contact style” water resistance. Contact style makes use of a combination of labyrinth construction, rubber gaskets and grease to strongly prevent water from coming into a certain area of the reel. This design makes it possible to achieve up to IPX8 level water resistance for the roller clutch of some larger spinning reels. The roller clutch in smaller reels works with a “non-contact style” water resistance. Non-contact style makes use of a labyrinth structure along with a water repellent material that ensures both light rotation and water resistance performance. Compared to larger reels, smaller reels require sensitivity and a suﬃcient level of water resistance. The non-contact style protects the reel but does not sacriﬁce rotation lightness.

BENEFIT

X-Protect seals the roller clutch, line roller and drag area, to prevent water intrusion. This advanced protection technology increases the durability of the reel and gives a high level protection in even the toughest conditions. This ensures good performance for a long time, without aﬀecting the smoothness of the reel when rotating.

RIGID

SUPPORT DRAG

Supporting the spool with the main shaft and two bearing links in the spool reduces spool ﬂutter to provide stable and smooth drag performance, especially in the initial stage of the ﬁght.

Waterproof coating

With applied water pressure, water can not reach the inner part

BENEFIT

Rigid Support Drag eliminates spool movement and wobble, even at light drag settings. The result is an incredibly smooth drag even at extremely light settings.

BRAKE SYSTEMS

THE BRAKE IS A INDISPENSABLE PART OF A BAITCASTING REEL.

At the start of the cast, the reel spool has to turn very quickly, while at the end of the cast (when the lure almost hits the water) the spool has to turn a lot slower to prevent an overrun of line. The brake regulates the turning speed of the spool, so it will brake the speed during the cast, preventing knots and making accurate trouble-free casting possible. Setting the drag is a very precise job: too much brake will decrease the casting distance drastically, while not enough brake will cause an overrun of line and resulting tangles.

DC BRAKE

Automatic control of braking force by detecting spool revolution

CONVENTIONAL

BRAKING SYSTEM

Braking force changes according to spool rotation speed

DIGITAL CONTROL

The Digital Control system is a waterproof, self-energizing system which is computer chip controlled. It recharges with each cast and needs no battery or power source. During the initial moments of the cast, the energy generated by the rotation of the spool is stored in the Digital Control circuit board and powers the Digital Braking System on subsequent casts. During the cast, the Digital Braking system calculates and provides the optimal braking force.

I-DC5 has 2 sets of dial adjustments. With the internal dial, you can select the type of line used. The external dial adjustment has a selection of 5 semiautomatic settings.

BENEFIT

This revolutionary system makes accurate and long distance casting possible, while at the same time minimising tangles, knots and overruns. It anticipates hard casting conditions, like ﬁshing in windy weather or casting very light baits. The DC system produces excellent casting performance for both beginner and tournament anglers.

The I-DC4 braking system is an intelligent Digital Control braking system with an easy to use, 4 setting externally adjustable brake dial. This will allow anglers to ﬁsh a wide variety of lures, in any conditions, with minimal adjustment to the reel. 4 modes can be set using the external dial.

SVS INFINITY

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, especially when using lighter lures. The external adjustment knob provides quick, precise adjustments for either the conditions or when you switch lure size.

BENEFIT

SVS Infinity provides an adjustable brake dial to provide a much wider and more precise range for maximum control and consistent brake performance, in all conditions. SVS infinity allows almost ‘infinite’ precision when casting.

FINESSE TUNE BRAKE

ROUND PROFILE

FTB is a brake system developed especially for ﬁnesse baitcasting reels. The brake unit is usually located on the side of the spool, but the FTB system is outside the spool reducing weight. By turning the knob on the outside of the reel, magnets are moved deeper or shallower into the spool. Deeper means more braking power, shallower means less braking power. This adjusts itself to the rotational speed of the spool during the cast creating the right amount of braking power.

BENEFIT

LOW PROFILE

The FTB system’s biggest advantage is the ultra light spool. The light weight spool enables long and accurate casts to be made with very light lures. The braking system, with the magnets, is extremely sensitive and can be set very precisely for optimal braking power in every situation.

LOW PROFILE MGL SPOOL

MICROMODULE GEAR

Micromodule Gearis a gear component made with great precision. The super-reﬁned teeth produce seamless engagement with other gears.

BENEFIT

Micromodule Gear has two advantages: increased smoothness and better sensitivity. This results in accurate performance with improved power transmission.

MAGNUMLITE SPOOL

The lightweight MGL Spool features reduced spool inertia, for improved casting distance and accuracy with lighter lures.

BENEFIT

A lighter spool means that it becomes easier to cast lighter lures on thinner lines. The addition of a MGL Spool oﬀers increased versatility across a wider range of lure sizes.

SILENT TUNE

Silent Tune is an advanced SHIMANO technology. As with any casting reel, the spool rides on bearings. These bearings have pockets in the frame or side plates which house the bearings and are given some tolerance in order to make the bearings more easily changeable. While the tolerance is necessary, it allows the bearings to move slightly during casting, leading to the smallest of vibrations that take energy away from the core of the reel and reduce the distance and smoothness of the cast. Silent Tune technology adds small springs under the bearings which keep the bearings in place, ensuring proper alignment and eliminating any movement or vibration that may occur.

BENEFIT

The pockets / spaces which where necessary to change the bearings have been removed, whilst retaining the possibility to change the bearings. This technology makes smoother, longer casts possible due to the elimination of vibration.

S3D SPOOL

SHIMANO’s S3D technology leads to signiﬁcantly reduced spool vibration. By designing a balanced and uniform thin wall aluminium constructed spool, S3D creates an incredibly smooth feeling when casting and retrieving lures.

BENEFIT

Improved feeling of the reel due to a reduction in vibration when casting and retrieving.

SUPER FREE SPOOL

INFINITYDRIVE

InﬁnityDrive is a mechanism developed by SHIMANO to deliver light and powerful winding. Commonly, the pinion gear is supported on two ends with a bearing, but, with this new construction, the pinion gear is locked in to the main shaft of the reel which gives it more stable support. Rotational resistance is also drastically reduced compared to our conventional products without reducing the gear strength.

Super Free was designed to eliminate friction on the spool shaft during the cast. In standard baitcasting reels, when the clutch bar is pressed down, the pinion gear is freed and can drag on the spool shaft creating friction that can limit the length of a cast. With SF, the pinion gear is supported by a ball bearing so that when the clutch is disengaged in preparation for a cast, the pinion gear and spool shaft are kept in perfect alignment.

BENEFIT

Super Free ensures there is zero friction upon the spool shaft. This not only improves casting distance, it also improves the entire feeling of the reel when in use.

The SHIMANO ALDEBARA N MGL is an insanely lightweight, low profile baitcasting reel. With a weight of only 135g it fits perfectly with any lightweight BFS rod, but is equally capable of taking on heavier lures and large, powerful predators when required. The ALDEBARAN MGL is one of those reels you have to actually fish with (or at least handle) to believe how light it really is, almost rivalling its BFS cousin when it comes to weight. If you are the type of angler who generally fishes with lighter lures, but also want a reel to cope with medium lures, especially in open water, this might just be what you are looking for. One use that really suits this lightweight beauty is vertical jigging. Lighter than even the lightest spinning reels, and more direct and compact, you can jig with the ALDEBARAN MGL for hours without fatigue.

FALL LEVER

Control the fall speed with ease and comfort with the latest lever design.

What used to be diﬃcult to control (fall speed) has become quick and easy to accurately adjust with the latest lever design. Falling fast in the middle columns or slowing down the fall speed near the bottom, more strategies can be devised for your ﬁshing needs. The lever is also designed to be highly operable as the shape helps control of the fall speed to be smooth and tireless.

BENEFIT

The fall lever can be operated instantly with one thumb. With controlling the fall speed and the underwater posture of the jig, you have more possibilities to attract ﬁsh to bite.

The OCEA JIGGER series is the ultimate reel for serious saltwater jigging anglers worldwide. Built in Japan to the highest standards, and containing the latest design and engineering technology, the OCEA JIGGER F Custom also features a customisable ‘Fall Lever’ to control the speed of your jig as it falls towards the ocean ﬂoor.

The OCEA JIGGER F Custom is based on normal OCEA JIGGER, but with one important addition - the inclusion of an adjustable ‘Fall Lever’, to control the decent speed of your jig. By slowing down the speed, you can change the jigs action, making it more animated, erratic and attractive to ﬁsh that are oﬀ the bottom. Using the lever, instead of thumbing the spool, enables you to adjust and repeat the decent speed accurately, time after time, to maximise your mid-water opportunities, whilst also enabling you to actually slow pitch whilst the lure is descending.

eEXCITING DRAG SOUND

e-Exciting Drag Sound is a technology which enables the angler to have a drag sound on a baitcasting or multiplier type reel.

BENEFIT

It works in the same way as the sound of a spinning reel when line is pulled from the drag: a ‘click-click-click’ or a ‘swoosh’ sound is heard. This is a nice feature for a lot of anglers, who like to fish with a baitcasting reel, but who are missing the sound of the drag when fighting a fish.

FINE DOT LCD

A liquid crystal LCD screen with high visibility and operability

BENEFIT

The screen of the electric reel is easy to read, even in strong sunlight, enabling accurate reading of the screen.

THERMO ADJUST DRAG

A control function designed to suppress abnormal heat generation of the drag to maintain stable drag performance. If the drag slips while the motor of the electric reel is on, the gear will idle and cause an abnormal heat generation in the drag area. In order to suppress this heat generation, when the drag is slipping, the motor speed is automatically reduced.

BENEFIT

During fights with strong fish in a salt water environment, anglers will keep full drag power and lines keep their breaking strength due the smart heat outflow.

GEARING TECHNOLOGY

HAGANE GEAR

MICROMODULE GEAR

MICROMODULE GEAR is a machined gear component, made with great precision. The super-refined teeth produce seamless engagement with other gears.

MICROMODULE II GEAR

MICROMODULE II GEAR are super-refined gear teeth to ensure seamless gear engagement. This state-of-the-art gear tooth surface design is an evolution of the MICRO MODULE GEARING, made possible by SHIMANO’s exclusive manufacturing capabilities.

X-SHIP

X-SHIP stands for Extra Smooth & High Power. It is a precision gearing system which enables smooth yet strong reeling. By supporting the pinion gear at both ends and integrating a bigger drive gear with improved positioning, increased gearing efficiency and power is produced. It results in ultra-light handle rotation combined with excellent power efficiency.

SILENTDRIVE

The SilentDrive technology encompasses the total redesign of the internal components to reduce microscopic handle play and eliminating noise and any unnatural feeling from the worm shaft drive. The combination of these redesigned components and extremely fine engineering tolerances produces an extremely smooth and silent reeling sensation.

INFINITYDRIVE (SPINNING)

InfinityDrive has been introduced to deliver light and powerful winding. In spinning reels this development reduces the friction of spool oscillation with a special design and combination of parts. As a result, handle rotation resistance is reduced considerably, when compared to a conventional system, resulting in easier winding, even under extreme pressure.

INFINITYXROSS

INFINITYXROSS is an advanced drive gear technology which uses wider gear teeth. The increased surface area distributes pressure more evenly across the full face of the teeth as they meet during rotation. Compared to similar sized gears, INFINITYXROSS increases durability by 100% without affecting smoothness.

2-SPEED GEARING

This shifting mechanism is designed so that gearing changes are quick and easy, even when fighting a fish. The low gear ratio used for high-power retrieves is selected by pushing the button on the base of the handle. Return to the high-speed ratio by sliding the release button along the handle shank.

BODY TECHNOLOGY

HAGANE BODY

HAGANE BODY is made out of precision machined aluminium or magnesium. These body designs create stiffness and impact resistance, while at the same time eliminating flexing of the body. The HAGANE BODY is highly rigid and protects gear rotation performance from heavy loads and shocks.

Ci4+

A Ci4+ Body is made out of Ci4+ composite material with very special characteristics. It is stronger than the original Ci4 and XT-7 graphite, and also lighter in weight. Because Ci4+ does not contain any metal, it is not affected by corrosion, making it suitable for salt water use. Ci4+ parts are lighter and stronger than any other composite material SHIMANO uses in their products.

CORESOLID BODY

The CoreSolid Body, which is featured on some bait casting reels, integrates the B-Side Plate, level wind guard and frame into one solid once piece construction.

X-SHIELD

G FREE BODY

G Free Body technology has been developed to shift the reel’s centre of gravity closer to the rod. This has been achieved by moving the oscillation mechanism more towards the top of the reel. By moving the centre of gravity closer to the angler’s hand position, the G Free Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.

COREPROTECT

Coreprotect is a SHIMANO technology which is developed to keep water out of the reel, without creating a heavier rotation feeling, in two areas:

1. The Roller Clutch Bearing. This is the most critical area when comes to balancing water resistance without affecting the light and smooth rotation. A surface protection coating causes water to bead preventing water from flowing into the small crevices where it can reach the mechanism of the roller clutch bearing.

2. The Line Roller: A line roller with Coreprotect has a one-piece design that provides water resistance and lowmaintenance. The sealed design does not require oil.

X-PROTECT

X-Protect is a water-resistant technology that comes in several forms and is dependent on the reel category and intended usage of each reel.

The roller clutch in smaller reels works with a “noncontact style” water resistance. Non-contact style makes use of a labyrinth structure along with a water repellent material that ensures both light rotation and water resistance performance. Compared to larger reels, smaller reels require sensitivity and a sufficient level of water resistance. The non-contact style protects the reel but does not sacrifice rotation lightness.

PARALLEL BODY

‘S’ COMPACT BODY

A ‘S’ Compact Body is found on baitcasting and small multiplier reels. It has an asymmetrical side plate construction where the side plate on the handle side of the reel is larger to accommodate the gears, whilst the opposite side (palming) is smaller than a conventional side plate for increased comfort and functionality.

BAIL TECHNOLOGY

X RIGID BAIL

The adoption of thicker titanium wire dramatically increases the rigidity and impact resistance of the bail arm. The nature of the metal (titanium) makes the bail arm lighter and provides excellent corrosion resistance.

ONE PIECE BAIL

ANTI-TWIST FIN

ANTI-TWIST FIN is an elastic and removable* fin placed on the rotor next to the line roller. It is designed to create the perfect tension between the line and the spool and improve line management efficiency, especially when using supple, thin diameter braid and mono. * Removing the fin is only necessary with lines over 0.47mm or with very large knots.

DRAG TECHNOLOGY

HI-SPEED DRAG

Hi-speed drag is SHIMANO’s fastest drag system and can change the drag setting from free-spool mode to fighting mode with only a very small turn to the knob located on the front of the spool.

EXCITING DRAG SOUND

Exciting Drag Sound is a technology which enables the angler to have a drag sound on a baitcasting or multiplier type reel.

HEAT SINK DRAG

X-TOUGH DRAG

X-Tough Drag is SHIMANO’s toughest drag configuration and incorporates large diameter drag washers at the base of the spool, which provide greater drag stability. The result is smooth and consistent drag performance throughout the fight.

CROSS CARBON DRAG

Cross Carbon Drag is made out of a carbon drag washer matrix, which delivers great heat resistance and super smooth drag performance.

X DRAG

X Drag is a drag star which is smaller than usual. This is done in order to position the reel handle closer to the body of the reel which increases cranking leverage, rigidity and torque.

DURACROSS DRAG

DURACROSS DRAG is an advanced drag washer construction that combines the best characteristics and feel of felt washers, including initial hooking power, with the increased durability of cross-carbon washers.

RAPID FIRE DRAG

Rapid Fire Drag is a drag system which is very precise and fast at the same time. It enables adjustment of the drag from heavy to light settings (and vice-versa) in only half a turn of the drag knob.

RIGID SUPPORT DRAG

When hooking a large fish, the smoothness of the initial movement of the drag is the most important to avoid line break. By supporting the spool with the main shaft and two bearing links in the spool, it is possible to suppress the spool’s flutter and to provide stable and smooth drag performance.

FIGHTIN’ DRAG II

The Fightin’ Drag mechanism is available for some spinning reels with a rear-drag system. Just above the rear drag knob there is an adjustment lever. This lever allows the angler to adjust the drag tension during the fight in a very controlled way by moving it to the right or the left to increase or decrease the drag pressure.

INSTANT-DRAG

SHIMANO Instant-Drag allows a quick adjustment of the front drag knob to take the reel from a current drag setting to free spool in just half a turn (and vice-versa).

THERMO ADJUST DRAG

FRONT DRAG

A front drag spinning reel has the drag knob located on top of the reel spool. This category is the most popular type of spinning reel.

REAR DRAG

A rear drag spinning reel has the drag knob located at the back of the reel.

WATERPROOF DRAG

The Water Proof Drag contains rubber gaskets which are placed to protect the drag system. It seals the drag against intrusion of the elements such as water and dust.

DARTANIUM DRAG

This drag material provides a wider range of drag settings, along with very smooth drag performance.

LEVER DRAG

A lever drag multiplier has a drag which can be set using a lever at the side of the reel. Lever drags are designed for big, hard fighting fish.

STAR DRAG

A star drag multiplier has a drag which can be set using the star at the side of the reel. This is able to create a lot of drag tension.

ROTOR TECHNOLOGY

MAGNUMLITE ROTOR

The Magnumlite Rotor is an ultra-light improved rotor made out of Ci4+ material. The profile of the rotor is made asymmetrical and the bail arm mechanism, which is usually situated on the same side as the line roller, has been moved to the opposite side. Both of these changes improve the balance. The rotor rigidity at the line roller side has been improved and reduces the deflection under maximum pressure by up to 30%.

X RIGID ROTOR

SHIMANO’s X Rigid Rotor is an extra strong and durable rotor. The shape and thickness of the aluminium rotor creates high rigidity that results in more fish fighting power. Increased mass of the aluminium rotor generates more inertia resulting in easier fishing of heavy jigs and high resistance lures.

OSCILLATION TECHNOLOGY

AERO WRAP

Aero Wrap is a worm gear oscillation system with a specially designed pitch to create optimal oscillation speeds for the AR-C spool design. The one speed oscillation system provides a line-lay with one speed (the same speed upwards and downwards). The twospeed oscillation system (the spool moves upward quickly and downwards slowly) lays the line onto the spool in a precise crisscross pattern that reduces lineto-line friction when casting.

SLOW OSCILLATION

With up to 35-40 wraps per cycle, this slow oscillation exceeds almost all other manufacturers’ reels.

SUPER SLOW 5

A minimum of 45-55 wraps per cycle. This makes almost perfect parallel spooling possible and gives a huge improvement in casting distance and precision.

SUPER SLOW 10

A minimum of 95-110 wraps per cycle. This produces parallel line spooling and the best casting distance, control and precision possible.

INFINITYLOOP

INFINITYLOOP is an ultra slow line oscillation designed for smaller spinning reels. The spool moves up and down very slowly as the rotor wraps line onto it, allowing the line to spool in an almost parallel configuration. This creates a smooth profile thatimproves line management when casting and also when playing fish.

HANDLES

SCREW IN HANDLE

A screw-in handle can be screwed directly into the gearing of the spinning reel. This reduces play and unwanted movement of the handle and gives a better rotational feeling.

X RIGID HANDLE

The X Rigid Handle is a cold forged handle shank. The shank and shaft support parts are integrally molded to eliminate deflection. Power loss is eliminated and direct and powerful winding is realised.

ERGONOMIC POWER GRIP

The handle grip, made of a comfortable, non-slip rubber, is formed to provide maximum comfort and power.

SPOOL TECHNOLOGY

MAGNUMLITE SPOOL

The lightweight MGL Spool features reduced spool inertia, for improved casting distance and accuracy with lighter lures.

LONG STROKE SPOOL

The Long Stroke Spool design has a longer stroke, compared to conventional spool designs. This long stroke specification results in longer casting distances.

SILENT TUNE

SUPER FREE SPOOL

S3D SPOOL

SHIMANO’s S3D technology leads to significantly reduced spool vibration. By designing a balanced and uniform thin wall aluminium constructed spool, S3D creates an incredibly smooth feeling when casting and retrieving lures.

BALLBEARING TECHNOLOGY

A-RB BEARING

SHIMANO Anti-Rust Bearings (A-RB) have undergone a special heat treatment process resulting in high metal strength and long lasting corrosion resistance.

S A-RB BEARING

These bearings have undergone a special heat treatment resulting in high metal strength. Shielded A-RB bearings use either a rubber shield or stainless steel shield (depending on bearing size) for the ultimate in corrosion resistance and contaminant protection against sand, salt or dust.

BLANK TECHNOLOGY

SPIRAL X CORE

SHIMANO’s unique and patented SPIRAL X CORE construction consists of three layers: a first layer of carbon tape that spirals tightly around the blank in a diagonal direction, a middle sheet of carbon made out of vertical fibres and an outer layer comprising carbon tape that tightly spirals the blank in the opposite direction to the first layer. By using carbon tape, instead of a conventional horizontal fibre sheet, SPIRAL X enhances torsional rigidity without adding extra weight. SPIRAL X CORE makes use of the same construction as SPIRAL X, with the addition of a Nano resin distribution technology in the carbon tape. Nano resin technology distributes the resin more evenly through the carbon fibres resulting in a stronger, lighter rod. SPIRAL X CORE has 1.4 times better anti-twist capabilities and 2.5 times more compression rigidity compared to SPIRAL X.

BENEFIT

HIPOWER X

Spiral X CORE construction overcomes blank twist and increases rod strength, whilst keeping the weight low, for enhanced performance. It also minimizes the ‘spine’ which naturally occurs when using conventional sheet carbon material resulting in purer action. The result is improved casting accuracy, more powerful transmission, increased control of the lure, and improved ﬁsh-playing performance.

SPIRAL X

SHIMANO’s unique and patented SPIRAL X construction consists of three layers: a first layer of carbon tape that spirals tightly around the blank in a diagonal direction, a middle sheet of carbon made out of vertical fibres and an outer layer comprising carbon tape that tightly spirals the blank in the opposite direction to the first layer. By using carbon tape, instead of a conventional horizontal fibre sheet, SPIRAL X enhances torsional rigidity without adding extra weight. This construction results in less overlapping of material, which would normally result in a spine and weak spots.

BENEFIT

Spiral X construction overcomes blank twist and increases rod strength, whilst keeping the weight low, for enhanced performance. The result is improved casting accuracy, more power transmission, increased control of the lure, and improved ﬁsh-playing performance.

SHIMANO‘s HI-POWER X construction, uses different carbon layers to create the blank. The outermost layer of carbon tape is diagonally wrapped in opposite directions, which forms an array of “X” shapes. The width of the tape, its winding angle and the part of the rod being wrapped are finely-tuned according to the rods intended use. The flexibility allows SHIMANO to adjust these wraps during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength and increased twist resistance. In short, HI-POWER X construction delivers sharp and crisp rod control.

BENEFIT

SHIMANO‘s HI-POWER X construction eliminates twist in the blank, which helps deliver more accuracy when casting and have more control when playing ﬁsh.

NANOPITCH

With NANOPITCH manufacturing technology SHIMANO wraps a compression tape, with high precision, over the carbon blank before the curing (heating) process. The NANOPITCH method enables the carbon on the mandrel to be compressed extremely ﬁrmly, with uniform pressure, creating circularity pressure which contributes greatly to overall rod strength. NANOPITCH is always applied in combination with the SPIRAL X CORE blank construction to maximize rod performance.

BENEFIT

NANOPITCH results in higher roundness, which greatly contributes to higher strength. The ﬁne pitch of the tape creates a high-quality exterior design.

HIGH PRESSURE CARBON

SHIMANO HIGH PRESSURE CARBON (HPC) is a process which creates stronger, more responsive blanks. Pressure is applied with a compression tape to the blank surface before curing (heating), which evenly distributes the resin through the carbon ﬁbre matrix.

BENEFIT

SHIMANO’s HPC results in much stronger rods with more consistent performance and improved responsiveness.

XSR

XSR is an advanced multi-directional carbon sheet with Super Resin treatment that reinforces the blank both internally and externally, producing a highly eﬃcient transmission of force.

BENEFIT

NANOSHEET

NANOSHEET is a multiple carbon sheet construction, which incorporates Nano resin distribution technology. The resin, which holds the different carbon fibres together, is distributed more evenly across the carbon fibres, resulting in a stronger and more light weight rod, with less potential defects and weak spots.

BENEFIT

XSR improves overall blank performance by reducing weight, increasing sensitivity and enhancing power transfer for faster hook-ups and improved ﬁsh-playing control.

BIOFIBRE

SHIMANO‘s unique BIOFIBRE construction improves overall rod strength and resistance to shock whilst producing increased lifting power in the tip.

BENEFIT

SHIMANO’s BIOFIBRE technology gives excellent control over hard ﬁghting ﬁsh and enables more power to be exerted.

TWIST CONTROL

BENEFIT

SHIMANO’s NANOSHEET technology results is increased overall rod strength and weight reduction. It also increases strength and improves feel.

DIAFLASH

GEOFIBRE

GEOFIBRE is a naturally derived component that provides rigidity and high tensile strength when added to rods in the lower to mid-price rod band.

BENEFIT

An anti-twist blank construction process which is applied to Big Game saltwater rods.

The GEOFIBRE material produces stronger rods in the lower to mid-price segment that are more resistant to breakages.

MUSCLE CARBON

MUSCLE CARBON is a high-performance material that reduces the gaps between fibres, by bundling carbon filaments together at a higher density than traditional carbon sheet. This reduces the amount of resin need to fill the gaps in the carbon matrix during the curing process.

With SHIMANO‘s DIAFLASH construction, the outermost layer of the butt section is diagonally wrapped in opposite directions with carbon tape, which forms an array of “X” shapes. The width of the tape, its winding angle and the part of the rod being wrapped are ﬁne-tuned according to the rods intended use. DIAFLASH is a reinforced structure that prevents twisting of the butt section in situations where highintensity pressure is applied.

BENEFIT

SHIMANO’s DIAFLASH construction improves the pulling power of the rod, whilst minimizing the loss of energy through excess ﬂexing of the butt section.

MUSCLE LOOP

MUSCLE LOOP is formed using a spiral carbon tape, wrapped on the outside of the blank, which reduces the natural ‘spine’ of the blank and also improves strength. This helps prevent the blank from distorting under extreme pressure.

BENEFIT

When fighting huge fish with Big Game saltwater rods, TWIST CONTROL enables more power to be directly applied to the fish.

BENEFIT

The MUSCLE CARBON material enables lightweight blanks without losing blank strength.

The MUSCLE LOOP construction reduces the spine, improves overall rod strength compared to conventionally made blanks, and increases control over hard ﬁghting ﬁsh.

GRIP TECHNOLOGY

FULL CARBON MONOCOQUE

The FULL CARBON MONOCOQUE grip is an evolution of the Carbon Monocoque grip and features up to 28% increased sensitivity. Normally the grip section, behind the reel seat is made of EVA or cork, however with the Full Carbon Monocoque grip this section is also moulded from a hollow carbon structure. This greatly improves the lightness and ability to detect vibrations transmitted to the hand. In addition, the carbon grip section is cushioned to prevent slipping with the hand.

BENEFIT

CARBON MONOCOQUE

The CARBON MONOCOQUE grip is a one-piece hollow carbon construction, which is integrated seamlessly into the rod blank. The remarkably lightweight handle is stiﬀer than traditional rod construction, reduces the overall weight of the rod and also increases vibration transmition.

BENEFIT

The FULL CARBON MONOCOQUE grip with ergonomic design is extremely lightweight and sensitive. When lure fishing, it is very important to have excellent transfer of vibration from the rod to the hand. This enables increased feeling of different types of bottom structures and magnifies tentative bites. It also offers stability when fighting with a fish and better control of the lure.

REEL SEAT

The CARBON MONOCOQUE grip reduces overall weight of the rod and increases vibration transition to the hand. When used in combination with braided mainlines, the increased sensitively of the handle enables bottom structures to be identiﬁed and tentative takes to be felt with more assurance.

TIP SECTION TECHNOLOGY

CI4+

The Ci4+ reel seat is a moulded one-piece composite construction that is very lightweight, strong and resistant to distortion. The composite is one of the strongest materials SHIMANO use and is over 1.5 times stronger that traditional composite materials. Ci4+ is also water resistant and not aﬀected by corrosion, making it suitable for salt water use.

BENEFIT

The application of Ci4+ material in the reel seat results in a lightweight, yet strong and very sensitive reel seat. Bites, bottom structure and other underwater signals are transmitted with greater strength and accuracy. In larger rods, used for distance casting, the use of Ci4+ increases the ﬁxation strength between rod and reel.

XGUIDE

X-GUIDE is an advanced guide engineered to eﬃciently channel line down the rod smoothly with minimal friction. The one piece construction is crafted from ultra lightweight titanium and designed with precision using exclusive Shimano technology.

TAFTEC

TAFTEC is a unique solid tip that realizes ﬂexibility and delicate bending without reducing the diameter of the tip or its strength.

The TAFTEC tip is used throughout the Shimano rod range where sensitivity is an important requirement of the rods.

BENEFIT

TAFTEC ALPHA tips enable rod tips to be made thinner and more sensitive which is especially useful when finesse fishing. Bites are maximised and fish feel less tension when inhaling the lure, resulting in more hook-ups.

BENEFIT

The optimized design of X-GUIDE seamlessly reduces the spiral taper of line during the cast. The result is minimal friction during the cast, whilst the ultra lightweight design maximises the rods action enabling it to perform with maximum potential.

EXCITE TOP

EXCITE TOP is a special tip that enhances the shake performance of lures and contributes to sensitivity. The tip section is tapered and slightly heavier at the top. This construction expands the swing width of the tip, enabling shaking with an automatic feeling. The movement seen by the eyes, and the sensitivity transmitted to the hands, is greatly improved.

BENEFIT

The EXCITE TOP has a specially tapered tip section which allows anglers to easily present lures with a shaking action. In some situations, especially when ﬁshing for reluctant ﬁsh, this approach can trigger more bites.

POWER CORK

Created from natural cork, POWER CORK uses an exclusive SHIMANO treatment to enhance its durability and practicality. Warm to the touch and comfortable to handle POWER CORK does not degrade or age cosmetically and is washable.

BENEFIT

POWER CORK combines the natural aesthetic look and feel of cork with the durability of a man-made material. POWER CORK is tactile, ergonomic and lightweight yet it does not absorb moisture and is more resistant to bacteria.

ROD ACTIONS

SHIMANO TAKES GREAT CARE WHEN DEVELOPING RODS AND DESIGNING THE CORRECT ACTIONS TO SUIT THE INTENDED USE.

As a general guide, Extra-Fast and Fast actions offer more sensitivity and hooking speed, plus the ability to cast further with heavy loading. Moderate-Fast and Moderate actions offer more flexibility and confidence when playing fish as the action absorbs increased pressure smoothly. Moderate actions are also good for casting very light loading as the rod ‘works’ through its length to create tip speed.

EXTRAFAST ACTION

A very light and sensitive tip facilitates an effective transfer of energy resulting in effortless pinpoint casts, near or far. This action will make any angler a more effective caster.

FAST ACTION

Fast action rods have a light tip that transfers into the power quickly for positive hook sets and eﬀortless repetitive casting. If you are looking for a lure rod to do it all, a fast action rod is a solid choice.

MODERATEFAST ACTION

The deeper flex associated with this action allows the angler to control the energy of the fish with additional confidence. This action offers an unsurpassable ability to land the majority of fish hooked on the lightest tackle.

EXTRAFAST ACTION

FAST ACTION MODERATEFAST ACTION

MODERATE ACTION

Whenever an angler needs the perfect action to absorb the surging power of a ﬁsh delivering aggressive headshakes or quick runs, a moderate action rod neutralizes their power.

To maximise the action of your chosen lures, the fast action really puts life into the largest softbaits when twitched and jerked and has the power to move them with precision. Rated to cast lures in the 60-120g range, the 2.70m length balances perfectly with 4000 and 5000 sized spinning reels.

To get the most from your predator fishing, the use of rods designed specifically for the type of baits you are fishing will always deliver benefits in performance and results. If you are serious about fishing crankbaits and spinner baits, you will already know the benefits of using a smooth medium type action rod to absorb the vibration and kicks your lure makes when retrieved. That is exactly what you get with the YASEI LTD Pike Crank & Spinnerbait model.

This 2.25m long model will comfortably cast lures in the 50-110g range and is the ideal model for ﬁshing with a smooth retrieve.

YASEI LTD Perch Crankbait

The YASEI LTD Perch Crankbait is a specialist rod designed for serious perch anglers who want the very best action to maximise their skill. If that sounds like the kind of rod you need, you certainly won’t be disappointed with this masterpiece. Perfectly balanced and very lightweight, the progressive action helps absorb some of the vibration as you retrieve your lure, ensuring it works enticingly, but still gives enough feedback to enable you to make precise retrieve adjustments. Another beneﬁt is how the rod loads up pressure in a smooth manner as a ﬁsh strikes. This encourages perch to hold on to your lure slightly longer, resulting in more and better hook-ups. The 2.15m length will cast crankbaits in the 4-16g range a surprisingly long way and with pin-point precision, especially when paired up with a small SHIMANO baitcasting reel.

YASEI LTD Perch Finesse

Fishing for perch with ‘finesse’ set-ups, using soft plastic lures, is becoming increasingly popular. If you are a perch specialist, who likes to target them using lightweight lures fished with a lot of precision, the YASEI LTD Perch Finesse is the type of rod you will really appreciate. Designed especially for using with small lures, they cast really well, enabling you to cover more water or cast with pinpoint accuracy to the underwater structures and features that perch love to shoal up around. And the super sensitive TAFTEC tips give underwater feedback and bite registration that is noticeably superior to hollow tip rods. There are two options of this special rod to choose from and between them they will cover all your requirements when you combine them with a 1000 or 2000 sized SHIMANO reel. The shorter 2.25m version has a casting weight of 5-18g making it perfect for smaller, lighter lures and when fishing tight to features. The longer 2.60m version has a casting weight of 3-21g. This is a great all-round rod for longer casts and will also cover most popular jig head/shad combinations suitable for perch. If you want to maximise your perch fishing skills, the YASEI LTD Perch Finesse is a choice that you will not regret.

YASEI LTD Zander

There is a choice of two rods in the YASEI LTD Zander range and which you choose will depend on the types of water you fish and your preferred jig weights. For searching the depths of larger rivers and deep lakes, with heavy jig heads, the 2.70m Heavy version is an excellent choice. With its long-range fast action casting performance and 20-70g optimum casting weight, you can really cover a lot of water, out casting other anglers. In powerful rivers the extra lure weight will get down to the bottom quickly, making fishing more efficient and effective. The extra length and power also improve fish-playing control of large zander close to the shore. There is also a medium version with a casting weight of 10-35g. This is perfect for slower rivers, large canals and still waters where less weight is required for effective lure control. Both models can also be used from a boat, especially when you want to cover a lot of water and fish with a hybrid vertical/horizontal jigging technique.

Designed for use with a small spinning reel, you can use this rod all day with minimum fatigue or stress, ensuring you remain ready for the most tentative bites to be transmitted from the sensitive tip directly to your hand.

YASEI Pike Spinning

As soon as you handle one of the YASEI Pike Spinning models you will immediately feel the casting potential from the fast action blanks. With extra power in the lower section of both models, these really are highly tuned rods that will enable you to cover a lot of water, whether you are ﬁshing from the bank or a boat.

The lightest and most versatile rod in the range is the 2.20m H (Heavy) which has a casting weight of 20-60g. This makes it a great rod for medium sized lures when paired with a 3000 sized reel. The slightly shorter length has the advantage of improved casting accuracy, especially when casting tight to reed beds and other ﬁsh-holding features.

The more powerful 2.50m EX (Extra Heavy) has a larger optimum casting weight of 40-120g. This will cover almost all pike lure sizes designed for the largest ﬁsh and when paired with a 4000, or compact 5000 sized spinning reel, produces a formidable casting combination that won’t be overwhelmed by outsized crank and swimbaits.

YASEI Pike Casting

The YASEI Pike Casting rods are real heavy hitters. They are built to cast and retrieve the biggest lures out there. By the very nature of the rods design and intended use, you know you have a rod in your hand that can tame the largest beasts. These rods are bigger, bolder and better and when you hook that croc pike, you know why. They’re not for the faint hearted.

The lightest rod in the range is the 2.50m XH (Extra Heavy) which has a casting weight of 40-100g. The middle rod is the 2.30m XXH (Extra Extra Heavy) which can handle lures in the 56-170g range, and the strongest rod is the 2.60m Extreme which is capable of working with lures in the massive 120-270g range.

All the rods cast remarkably well, but you must use them with the correct sized lures to get the best from them. For boat anglers, all three models make superb trolling rods on large waters, with the Extreme being an outstanding option for deep lakes, where your chances of catching the largest pike are at their greatest.

YASEI Pike Jerkbait

To get the best action out of your jerkbaits you need a rod with plenty of backbone and a fast tip, and that’s exactly what the YASEI Jerkbait Casting possesses. At just 1.98m in length it’s short enough to be used with a downward, or a sideways jerking technique, depending on your preference and is easy to manage when boat fishing. Pair it with a baitcasting reel in the 150 to 300 size, for optimum balance, and you have a stunning lightweight combination. This enables you to produce super-fast jerks, whilst at the same time reducing fatigue when fishing for extended periods. With an optimum casting weight of 45-100g, it is more suited to medium and large lures, but because of the forgiving nature of the tip action you can get away using lighter jerkbaits if you want. And don’t forget, whilst this model has been designed specifically for using jerkbaits, that doesn’t mean you can’t experiment by using swimbaits and crankbaits with it.

Reel Seat: Fuji ACS / Grip: EVA

YASEI Pike Swimbait & Big Bait

Creating the perfect large swimbait rod creates several challenges. Firstly the rod has to cast large baits a long way, so a fast action with a powerful butt is required. But because swimbaits are usually retrieved with a constant speed, in a similar way to the more common crankbait, the rod has to absorb some of the lure ‘wobble’ to smooth out the action, and this is best done with a softer rod. To get around the challenge, the YASEI Swimbait/Big-bait has an extended fast taper tip action, combined with a longer 2.40m length. It’s diﬃcult to describe, but as soon as you ﬁsh with it, you’ll feel exactly what we mean. Rated to cast baits in the heavy 120-170g range, using a 300 sized baitcasting reel, or a small overhead round reel, you’ll immediately appreciate the fast tip and low-down power combination as you launch your lure. Yet as you start to retrieve you’ll feel the middle section of the rod working to absorb vibration, keeping the swimbait balanced and true. Of course, you can throw in a few twitches if you want to mix things up, as the rod has a fast enough action to make precise sharp movements.

YASEI Perch

Fishing for perch with soft plastic lures is becoming increasingly popular. Not only is the method fun, it’s also clinically eﬀective and with the correct tackle can be exceptionally exciting. That’s where the YASEI Perch Versatile rods come in to play. Designed especially for using with small lures, they cast really well, enabling you to cover more water or cast with pinpoint accuracy to the underwater structures and features that perch love to shoal up around.

There are two versions of this special rod to choose and between them they will cover all of your requirements when you combine them with a 1000 or 2000 sized SHIMANO reel. The shorter 1.95m Finesse version has a casting weight of 3-12g making it perfect for smaller, lighter lures and when fishing tight to features. The longer 2.25m Regular version has a casting weight of 7-18g. This is a great all round rod for longer casts and will also cover most popular jig head/shad combinations suitable for perch. If you want to maximise your perch fishing fun, with a rod that will cover almost all of the situations you’ll find yourself in, the YASEI Perch Versatile is a guaranteed winner.

YASEI Perch Carolina & Texas Rig

Perch fishing is gaining popularity and if you are an angler who specialises in this widespread and often underestimated species, you will probably be aware of specialized black bass rigs and how to fish them. Offering more options and versatility than the standard jig head/shad combination, these softbait set-ups can be extremely effective and almost addictive to use. But it does help if you have the correct rod.

The YASEI Perch Carolina & Texas Rig rod comes in two 2.30m length options, for excellent casting performance. The Casting rod will cover 7-20g set-ups. To balance the rod perfectly, combine it with a SHIMANO BFS (Bait Finesse System) baitcasting reel, or 70 size MGL alternatives. The Spinning rod will cover lighter 4-14g set-ups. To balance the rod perfectly, combine it with a SHIMANO 2000 or 2500 sized spinning reel.

In use, the fast action maximises lightweight casting distances, whilst the sensitive solid tip enhances the gentlest of bites, giving you every chance of hitting the most delicate takes, especially in winter when the ﬁsh are moving slower.

YASEI Dropshot

SHIMANO has a long history making high quality dropshot rods and the YASEI Dropshot is no exception. From the ultra sensitive tip that can detect the most gentle of pulls and underwater features, through to the powerful butt that enhances striking speed, every detail has been meticulously developed to give you optimum performance. Available in two lengths, the 2.10m Medium Light version has a casting weight of 5-18g, suitable for close range work and around bridges or obstacles, whilst the longer 2.40m Medium version has a casting weight of 7-21g and is more suited to ﬁshing further out into open water or where there is more current. Both models will balance a 2000 or 2500 sized reel perfectly, and give you a combination that any street ﬁshing expert would be proud to use.

Crankbait

Whilst there is nothing actually wrong with using an all round type rod for crankbait fishing, you will get better results using a specialist model like the YASEI Crankbait. To get the best action out of your crankbaits, especially when using minimal stretch braid, you need a smooth medium type action to absorb the vibration and kicks your lure will make when retrieved. Another notable benefit of a through action is how the rod loads up pressure in a smooth manner as a fish strikes. This encourages the fish to hold on to it slightly longer, resulting in more hook-ups. The 2.20m length of this lightweight model will launch crankbaits in the 8-24g range a seriously long distance, especially when paired up with a SHIMANO 150 size baitcasting reel. It doesn’t matter if you are fishing for zander, perch, pike of even aspius, if you are using a crankbait this is the rod for you.

YASEI Bladed Jig Cast

There’s nothing wrong with using an all-round rod for bladed jigs and chatterbaits, but if you’re serious about your fishing and want to up your performance, the YASEI AX Bladed Jig rod is a real game-changer. When paired with a baitcasting reel loaded with low-stretch braid, the smooth moderate action effortlessly absorbs the vibrations and erratic kicks from your lure as you retrieve, whilst retaining the precision and razor-sharp control needed to detect even the slightest bites. The difference is tangible, and it’ll show in your results. The moderate through action of this rod provides another advantage, it loads up pressure smoothly when a fish strikes. This makes the fish more likely to hold on for that crucial split second longer, translating into more hook-ups and fewer missed opportunities. At 2.25m, this lightweight marvel launches lures in the 7-25g range an impressive distance, especially when paired with a SHIMANO baitcasting reel like the SLX DC. While it’s a brilliant rod for perch anglers, don’t underestimate its strength. This rod also has the muscle to take on bigger predators like pike and zander, making it the ultimate tool for all bladed jig predator fishing.

YASEI Zander Vertical Jig

As soon as you pick up the YASEI Zander Vertical Jig rod you will immediately feel the superb blend of sensitivity and power as the rod sits comfortably in your hand. The slim blank is remarkably light and instantly becomes an extension of your arm, responding to your every movement. It’s this intuitive control that makes this rod so compelling. The 1.90m length is perfect for accurately placing you jig next to underwater features, whilst at the same time having the precise control to impart any action you want on your softbait. And when a zander touches the lure you’ll know immediately, as the sensitive tip magniﬁes the sensation through the rod and into your hand. With an optimum jig weight of 14-28g, to cover all but the heaviest jigging, the YASEI Zander Vertical Jig is available in both a traditional spinning reel and also a baitcasting reel conﬁguration.

YASEI Pelagic Pike & Zander

If you are the type of angler who fishes deep waters from a boat and uses a fish-finder to hunt out your prey, the Pelagic method is one you should have in your armory. Although a relatively new technique, the Pelagic style of freshwater predator fishing has proven to be one of the most effective ways of capturing large fish and is certainly an exciting method to use. The YASEI Pelagic Pike & Zander is the perfect rod to fish the technique correctly and has been designed to present large soft baits, vertically, at precise depths, with pin-point accuracy.

YASEI Zander River Jig

There’s a choice of three rods in the range and which you choose will depend on the types of water you fish and your preferred jig weights. For searching the depths of larger rivers, with heavy jig heads, the 2.70m Heavy version takes some beating. With its excellent fast action casting performance and 24-56g optimum casting weight, you can really cover a lot of water, reach further out into the river and get down to the bottom quickly if there is a powerful current. The extra length and power also improves fish-playing control of large fish in a swift current. There is also a Medium version of the 2.70m length with a casting weight of 12-28g. This is great for slower rivers, large canals and still waters. For shorter range work the 2.40m length Medium option (12-28g) really comes into its own.

If you fish for aspius you’ll already know that you need long casting balanced tackle which enables you to fish at range. This is especially true on large rivers, where the fish are often found in the swifter current away from the bank. These are the exact parameters that the super lightweight, long casting YASEI Aspius rod has been designed for. At 2.70m in length, the fast action of this special rod will cast a wide range of lures between 10-35g exceptional distances, enabling you to cover a lot of water. And when you get an aggressive strike, especially when using top water lures, the full fighting curve of the rod will absorb the sudden pressure to prevent breakages or hook pulls. To get the maximum distance from this long range masterpiece, and make fish-playing more controlled, it is recommended you use a 4000 sized spinning reel, or one of the compact body 5000 sizes to create optimum balance.

PX -I DEADBAIT

The PURIST PX1 Deadbait range has been designed for anglers who prefer to ﬁsh for pike and zander using deadbaits. Combining excellent value with understated, classic cosmetics and class-leading actions, there are two powerful models for pike and a lighter model speciﬁcally designed for zander.

If you are a dedicated predator angler who likes to fish for pike and zander using deadbaits, or an angler who concentrates on predator fishing only in winter, the PURIST Deadbait range has something to offer. There are three models in the range. The shorter 10’ (305cm) pike model balances perfectly with smaller SHIMANO Baitrunners and is ideal for close range margin fishing, fishing from a boat, or for concentrating on smaller waters. The longer 12’ pike model matches with larger SHIMANO Baitrunners and offers slightly more power and casting performance. If you are a zander specialist you’ll certainly appreciate the shorter 8’ 10” (270cm), which has a much lighter casting weight of up to 15g, making it ideal for smaller baits and a forgiving fish-playing action.

INTENSITY PERFORMANCE

All TRIBAL TX models feature Intensity actions in addition to the normal range of test curves.

Intensity models have been developed for maximum casting performance and use a range of diﬀerent carbon blends (depending on price) and advanced tapers, to harness the power of the cast. The handles are also longer (70cm) than standard rods of the same length, to help generate more tip speed during the cast.

Intensity rods have been designed for maximum casting performance using a 3oz (85g) to 5oz (142g) lead, with the optimum weight being 4.5oz (128g).

The Intensity actions of the diﬀerent TX rod ranges vary depending on model type.

GUIDES

The use of quality guides on a carp rod is very important for reducing line friction when casting and preventing tangles. SHIMANO carp rods feature Kigan or Seaguide guides. The use of 50mm butt rings on longer casting rods is widespread and anti-tangle tip guides are a common feature throughout the range.

Kigan 3D guides are lightweight, strong and have zirconia linings. They can be found on the TX-Ultra (12ft INT & 13ft INT) and TX-9 models.

Seaguide guides oﬀer reliable, friction reducing performance and can be found on the TX-5, TX-4, TX-2 and TX-1 models.

BLANK TECHNOLOGY

SPIRAL X CORE

SHIMANO’s unique and patented SPIRAL X CORE construction consists of three layers: a first layer of carbon tape that spirals tightly around the blank in a diagonal direction, a middle sheet of carbon made out of vertical fibres and an outer layer comprising carbon tape that tightly spirals the blank in the opposite direction to the first layer. By using carbon tape, instead of a conventional horizontal fibre sheet, SPIRAL X enhances torsional rigidity without adding extra weight. SPIRAL X CORE makes use of the same construction as SPIRAL X, with the addition of a Nano resin distribution technology in the carbon tape. Nano resin technology distributes the resin more evenly through the carbon fibres resulting in a stronger, lighter rod. SPIRAL X CORE has 1.4 times better anti-twist capabilities and 2.5 times more compression rigidity compared to SPIRAL X.

SPIRAL X

SHIMANO’s unique and patented SPIRAL X construction consists of three layers: a first layer of carbon tape that spirals tightly around the blank in a diagonal direction, a middle sheet of carbon made out of vertical fibres and an outer layer comprising carbon tape that tightly spirals the blank in the opposite direction to the first layer. By using carbon tape, instead of a conventional horizontal fibre sheet, SPIRAL X enhances torsional rigidity without adding extra weight. This construction results in less overlapping of material, which would normally result in a spine and weak spots.

HI-POWER X

SHIMANO‘s HI-POWER X construction, uses different carbon layers to create the blank. The outermost layer of carbon tape is diagonally wrapped in opposite directions, which forms an array of “X” shapes. The width of the tape, its winding angle and the part of the rod being wrapped are finely-tuned according to the rods intended use. The flexibility allows SHIMANO to adjust these wraps during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength and increased twist resistance. In short, HI-POWER X construction delivers sharp and crisp rod control.

NANOPITCH

With NANOPITCH manufacturing technology SHIMANO wraps a compression tape, with high precision, over the carbon blank before the curing (heating) process. The NANOPITCH method enables the carbon on the mandrel to be compressed extremely firmly, with uniform pressure, creating circularity pressure which contributes greatly to overall rod strength. NANOPITCH is always applied in combination with the SPIRAL X CORE blank construction to maximize rod performance.

XSR

XSR is an advanced multi-directional carbon sheet with Super Resin treatment that reinforces the blank both internally and externally, producing a highly efficient transmission of force.

HIGH PRESSURE CARBON

NANOSHEET

NANOSHEET is a multiple carbon sheet construction, which incorporates Nano resin distribution technology. The resin, which holds the different carbon fibres together, is distributed more evenly across the carbon fibres, resulting in a stronger and more light weight rod, with less potential defects and weak spots.

BIOFIBRE

SHIMANO‘s unique BIOFIBRE construction improves overall rod strength and resistance to shock whilst producing increased lifting power in the tip.

GEOFIBRE

GEOFIBRE is a naturally derived component that provides rigidity and high tensile strength when added to rods in the lower to mid-price rod band.

DIAFLASH

With SHIMANO‘s DIAFLASH construction, the outermost layer of the butt section is diagonally wrapped in opposite directions with carbon tape, which forms an array of “X” shapes. The width of the tape, its winding angle and the part of the rod being wrapped are fine-tuned according to the rods intended use. DIAFLASH is a reinforced structure that prevents twisting of the butt section in situations where high-intensity pressure is applied.

TWIST CONTROL

An anti-twist blank construction process which is applied to Big Game saltwater rods.

MUSCLE CARBON

MUSCLE CARBON is a high-performance material that reduces the gaps between fibres, by bundling carbon filaments together at a higher density than traditional carbon sheet. This reduces the amount of resin need to fill the gaps in the carbon matrix during the curing process.

MUSCLE LOOP

ULTRA SOUND SANDING

A special ultra sound finishing technique is applied to the main sections of the pole. This produces a smooth ‘satin-like’ finish which makes the pole easier to handle in all weather conditions.

GRIP TECHNOLOGY

FULL CARBON MONOCOQUE

CARBON MONOCOQUE

The CARBON MONOCOQUE grip is a one-piece hollow carbon construction, which is integrated seamlessly into the rod blank. The remarkably lightweight handle is stiffer than traditional rod construction, reduces the overall weight of the rod and also increases vibration transmition.

REEL SEAT TECHNOLOGY

Ci4+

The Ci4+ reel seat is a moulded one-piece composite construction that is very lightweight, strong and resistant to distortion. The composite is one of the strongest materials SHIMANO use and is over 1.5 times stronger that traditional composite materials. Ci4+ is also water resistant and not affected by corrosion, making it suitable for salt water use.

HANDLE TECHNOLOGY

POWER CORK

TIP SECTION TECHNOLOGY

TAFTEC ALPHA

TAFTEC ALPHA tips utilise a pre-stretched T-3500 directional yarn fibre with low resin saturation. This directional alignment of the fibres in the solid tip results in much less damage during the grinding process and results in a spineless construction. In tests it has been shown to be much stronger, lower in weight, faster in action and more sensitive.

EXCITE TOP

SOFTUBE TOP

The SOFTUBE TOP provides the sensitivity of an ultra fine solid carbon tip with the lightness of a hollow/ tubular tip construction. This tip construction can be found on models where sensitivity and finesse are both important requirements.

ROD ACTIONS

EXTRA-FAST ACTION

A very light and sensitive tip facilitates an effective transfer of energy resulting in effortless pin-point casts, near or far. This action will make any angler a more effective caster.

FAST ACTION

Fast action rods have a light tip that transfers into the power quickly for positive hook sets and effortless repetitive casting. If you are looking for a lure rod to do it all, a fast action rod is a solid choice.

MODERATE-FAST ACTION

The deeper flex associated with this action allows the angler to control the energy of the fish with additional confidence. This action offers an unsurpassable ability to land the majority of fish hooked on the lightest tackle.

MODERATE ACTION

Whenever an angler needs the perfect action to absorb the surging power of a fish delivering aggressive headshakes or quick runs, a moderate action rod neutralizes their power.

S.A.S. TECHNOLOGY

SHIMANO ALIGNMENT SYSTEM

SHIMANO ALIGNMENT SYSTEM is a system to optimise blank action. During the production process, the spine of the blanks is marked on the sections of a telescopic rod.

GUIDES

X GUIDES

The X guide was born from the viewpoint to bring out the potential of blanks to the full. Supporting the guide rings of the tip part is a one-piece structure frame molded with the latest material by 3D technology. Its beautiful shape combines strength with the calculated inclination angle and threedimensional structure to suppress line entanglement. The tip guides are light and small. In the butt part we have the Aero Titanium X guide which contributes to casting feeling and casting distance. X guide is Shimano’s original high performance guide which fused lightness, trouble less, casting performance to higher dimensions.

FUJI GUIDES

Fuji guides are world famous for their quality. Available in many different options, including the famous ‘K-type’ anti-tangle design, Fuji guides are generally fitted to higher performance rods.

KIGAN 3D GUIDES

Kigan 3D guides are becoming increasingly popular, especially on specimen rods where the lightweight, strong frames and zirconia linings aid distance casting.

SEAGUIDE GUIDES

Seaguide guides are becoming increasingly popular and offer reliable, friction reducing performance and reliability. Generally fitted to mid-priced rods within the SHIMANO range.

HARDLITE GUIDES

Hardlite guides have been used by SHIMANO for many years and are proven to be reliable across a wide range of rod applications. Offering excellent value, they are fitted to lower priced rods.

AERO JOINT TECHNOLOGY

AERO

JOINT

On the male joints the Diamond finish prevents joints from sticking. The female joints have a 1K cross carbon weave to minimise the chances of sections damage under pressure.

MYSTERIOUS POWER

KAIRIKI 8 braid is a highly technical 8 carrier braid that uses an exclusive tight weave VT Construction to produce a smoother ﬁnish and reduced diameter. Perfect for all applications in both fresh and saltwater, the smooth proﬁle casts extremely well and also minimises noise when running through the rod guides under tension.

If you are the type of angler who appreciates the significant benefits that using braid can bring, them the premium rated SHIMANO KAIRIKI 8 braid is for you. Compared to many 8 carrier braids, the KAIRIKI 8 is noticeably smoother with a rounder profile, which results in longer more accurate casts, increased sensitivity and also reduces noise when playing fish. Available in a wide range of diameters in both high visibility (Yellow, Mantis Green and Multi) and low visibility (Steel Grey) colours, KAIRIKI will take your fishing to a completely new level.

MYSTERIOUS POWER

KAIRIKI G5 maintains all of the characteristics of KAIRIKI braids, with the advantage of sinking performance. Manufactured using 4 carrier Japanese PE braid strands, with an additional high density, heavy core, KAIRIKI G5 is less aﬀected by wind or current. Perfect for deeper diving lures and jigging, plus carp and feeder ﬁshing.

KAIRIKI G5 is a fantastic sinking braid to choose if you fish with a lot of deep working lures, or want a braid for carp or feeder fishing. The addition of an additional strand of heavy, super dense fibre to the 4 carrier design creates a sinking braid that easily cuts through the water’s surface tension and slowly sinks. When working deep lures you’ll feel in more direct contact, especially in windy conditions when the surface tow can create unwanted bows and slack line. For carp and feeder fishing, especially at long range, the sinking KAIRIKI G5 is a game changer.

POWERPRO Depth-Hunter braid is constructed from the same ultra strong Spectra Fibre as standard POWERPRO and includes POWERPROEnhanced Body Technology. Depth-Hunter benefits from five repeating colors along its length to enable accurate depth or distance measurement when fishing.

Do you ever wonder how deep your bait is, how far behind the boat you are trolling your favorite lure, or even how far your cast went? Wonder no more, POWERPRO’s Depth-Hunter features ﬁve repeating 10m sections (blue, orange, green, pink, and yellow) that repeat every 50m, as well as a black tick-mark every meter for accurate and instant depth measurement. This allows you to easily and accurately present your lure in the strike zone. Depth-Hunter can also help anglers determine depth or casting distance because it casts and performs just like standard POWERPRO

POWERPRO braid has an enviable reputation for strength and durability, and has been trusted by anglers for years. Constructed from ultra strong Spectra Fibres, it has a hard coating treatment that does not affect the limpness and softness to any noticeable level, but greatly increases durability and usability. Want a braid to cope with the toughest conditions, in both fresh and saltwater? With its reputation for toughness, durability and very importantly usability, POWERPRO is the answer. Remarkably smooth and round for a 4 carrier braid, POWERPRO benefits from a special coating to the fibre which although is unperceivable to the eye, but makes a big difference in use, as it prevents the line from bedding in when on the spool. The benefit is smooth, longer casts on both spinning and baitcasting reels and a toughness that overcomes challenges no matter what.

EX FLUORO LEADER

OCEA EX Fluoro Leader is a premium quality fluorocarbon leader that provides many advantages when fishing in clear water for wary fish. Thinner than traditional mono leaders and with a refractive index very close to that of water, making it virtually invisible, it is also incredibly abrasion resistant and knots exceptionally well, even in the larger sizes.

Irrespective of whether you are fishing a braid or mono main line, you’ll benefit greatly from using a leader made from the OCEA EX Fluoro Leader. Virtually invisible when underwater, you’ll instantly see an improvement in your strike rates, especially in clear water and the excellent abrasion resistance makes it tough enough to overcome underwater obstacles, hard bony mouths and sharp fins.

TRIBAL Fluorocarbon is a premium quality ﬂuorocarbon main line for carp anglers who want an incredibly quick sinking, highly abrasion resistant reel line. Almost invisible underwater, TRIBAL Fluorocarbon also has excellent ﬂexibility for improved casting performance.

If you fish clear carp waters that have snags and gravel bars to overcome, a fluorocarbon main line can offer you a serious advantage. Admittedly, fluorocarbon doesn’t have the extreme casting capabilities of braid, but when it comes to minimal visibility and abrasion resistance, TRIBAL Fluorocarbon leads the way. The sinking characteristics makes it a brilliant option if you local waters are stocked with line wary carp and is especially beneficial if you fish with lightweight indicators or slack lines.

OCEA EX FLUORO LEADER

SILK SHOCK

Whether you are looking for a high quality hooklength line for feeder fishing, or for pole and float fishing in clear water conditions, AERO Silk Shock Fluorocarbon will meet and exceed your requirements. For pole and float fishing the lack of visibility is guaranteed to get you extra bites, whilst the sinking nature of Fluorocarbon, and the increased stiffness, makes it great for feeder fishing hooklengths as it sits perfectly on the bottom and also reduces the chances of tangles.

PREDATOR

If you are a fan of finesse and small sized lure fishing for perch, zander, asp or even small pike, the YASEI Predator Leader, which is available in diameters as low as 0.18mm will revolutionise your catch statistics. You’ll immediately notice how soft and supple this fluorocarbon line feels, and how it enables small lures to move with more freedom compared to using stiffer mono lines. And because it is so strong for its diameter, and virtually invisible when underwater, you will be able to fish finer and fool more fish, especially in clear water conditions.

COMPETITION

With their highly developed sense of sight trout can often be difficult to fool, especially in clear water conditions, or on fisheries that see a lot of fishing. These are the exact reasons why SHIMANO have developed the TROUT Competition Fluorocarbon leader line. You’ll immediately notice how soft and supple this fluorocarbon line feels, and how strong it is for the diameter, but what you won’t see is how invisible it is under water or how abrasion resistant it is to the sharp teeth of even the smallest trout. But use it for a while and you will almost certainly see an improvement is bite numbers and the increased amount of fish you are catching.

AERO SILK SHOCK FLUOROCARBON

TECHNIUM

TECHNIUM is a low-stretch, sinking monofilament line that delivers a winning combination of strength, abrasion resistance, and finesse. Its High Durability Triple Construction reduces linear stretch significantly, offering improved bite detection and more responsive hook sets compared to standard mono. Despite its reduced stretch, TECHNIUM remains supple and easy to manage, ensuring smooth casting and trouble-free handling.

INVISITEC

TECHNIUM Invisitec is a clear-coloured, low-stretch sinking monofilament designed for anglers who demand strength, stealth, and precision. Engineered with an advanced triple-layer construction, it delivers extremely low stretch, significantly less than standard mono. Despite its low-stretch profile, TECHNIUM Invisitec remains impressively supple, ensuring smooth, tangle-free casting and flawless presentation.

TECHNIUM Tribal is a low stretch, sinking monofilament line designed for strength, stealth, and performance. Featuring a natural camouflaged green colour, it blends seamlessly into weedy and murky waters making it perfect for carp and specimen fishing. Engineered with an advanced triple-layer construction, it delivers extremely low stretch, significantly less than standard mono, while still offering enough forgiveness to safely play hard-fighting fish.

EXAGE monoﬁlament line delivers dependable all-round performance at a great price, making it the ideal choice for anglers who want versatility without compromising on quality. Designed for a wide range of ﬁshing styles, it combines strength, reliable knot strength, excellent castability, and consistent performance.

TROUT COMPETITION

Not everyone likes to use braid when spinning and if you are the type of angler who prefers the more forgiving nature of mono you’ll appreciate the qualities of CATANA Spinning. Combining an extremely strong linear strength with excellent knot strength, the CATANA Spinning has all of the reassuring power you could ever want, whilst the low memory makes casting even the heaviest option straightforward and trouble free.

COMPETITION

If you are looking for a high quality mono line for your trout ﬁshing, TROUT Competition is a fantastic choice. With excellent suppleness, it casts extremely well, even when using small lightweight lures and when it comes to hitting bites, the reduced stretch oﬀers you almost instant contact, combined with just enough stretch to overcome any aggressive head shaking. Combine with the TROUT Competition Leader Fluorocarbon for the ultimate trout line combination.

CATANA SPINNING

FLOAT

AERO Float mono is a high quality, low stretch mono designed primarily for float fishing, which in the two strongest options can also be used for competition feeder fishing on natural venues due to its semi-buoyant, high strength properties.

If you are looking for a high quality line for float fishing, AERO Float is for you. With excellent suppleness, it casts extremely well, even when you are using lightweight floats, and the semi-buoyant properties offer great versatility. Without any treatment, the line will sit on the surface tension of the water enabling you to control Bolognese type floats with ease, but is you are fishing a waggler, or in windy conditions where you want to sink the line below the surface, a quick flick of the rod tip will drop the line under the surface. And when it comes to hitting bites, the reduced stretch offers you almost instant contact.

SLICK SILK

AERO Slick Silk is a super strong, supple line that has been speciﬁcally designed for hooklengths and pole rigs. With a massive linear strength and equally impressive knot strength, the clear colour and supple nature of AERO Slick Silk oﬀers the very best in bait presentation.

As a competition angler, you’ll understand the need for the very best bait presentation, which is where the AERO Slick Silk really excels. The ultra smooth surface of the line enables hooks to be perfectly tied and also overcomes the constant moving of shot when used as a rig line. The supple nature further contributes to improved bait presentation, especially in the ﬁner sizes when using small hooks, and the clear colour is almost invisible underwater further adding to the advantages of using AERO Slick Silk.

AERO SLICK SILK

When it comes to distance, the more speed you can get into your lead at the point of release, the more potential distance you can achieve. So it makes sense to use the best surf line you can ﬁnd and the SPEEDMASTER Surf Main Line certainly lives up to its name. The low stretch enables more rod speed to be transferred to the lead, and the high strength characteristics mean you can reduce the diameter you usually use by at least 0.02mm, or even more if you are using a stronger shock leader.

TAPERED SURF LEADER

If you want to maximise your surf casting distance, one of the simplest and most cost eﬀective ways to do it is to use a thinner main line with a stronger mono shock leader. For trouble free eﬃcient performance, a tapered shock leader like the SPEEDMASTER Tapered Surf Leader is the favoured option. You get maximum strength at the front end of the leader, to absorb the initial shock of the cast, but a thinner knot where it joins your main line enabling the line to run freely through your rod guides.

If you have only used heavy mono for your surfcasting, the use of a tapered main line like the SPEEDMASTER Tapered Surf Line has the potential to transform your casting performance. With a strong front end to absorb the initial shock of the cast, the main body of the line is much thinner, which reduces distance robbing friction. Another advantage over using heavy line, or using a thinner main line with a heavy shock leader, is the lack of a knot, which reduces potential problems during the cast, or when ﬁshing in weedy shores where rubbish can catch on the knot.

TIAGRA Hyper is a premium IGFA-rated game fishing mono that combines high abrasion resistance with optimal stretch. Available in accurately calibrated, competition compliant 20lb, 30lb, 50lb and 80lb breaking strains, TIAGRA Hyper has the best strength to diameter ratio available in SHIMANO’s big game mono line-up. If you are very serious about your big game fishing, or fish in IGFA tournaments, TIAGRA Hyper is sure to be on your list of lines to consider. This blue tinted line becomes virtually invisible when submerged and has prestigious strength with one of the best strength to diameter ratios available in the IGFA-rated official line list. With stunning abrasion resistance to overcome the most challenging tests, the TIAGRA Hyper has optimal stretch to absorb the aggressive fighting style of the world’s largest and most powerful saltwater game fish.

TIAGRA Trolling is a high quality Japanese trolling mono that combines high abrasion resistance with optimal stretch. Available in accurately calibrated 20lb, 30lb, 50lb and 80lb breaking strains, TIAGRA Trolling has an excellent strength to diameter ratio.

If you are serious about your big game fishing, TIAGRA Trolling is one line you can’t ignore. This translucent pink/orange colour is very visible above the surface, making it easier to see if lines get crossed, yet virtually disappears when submerged under the surface. With class leading abrasion resistance to overcome the most challenging tests, TIAGRA Trolling has optimal stretch to absorb the aggressive fighting style of the world’s largest and most powerful saltwater game fish.

FLASH BOOST

FLASHBOOST technology is an exclusive, innovative feature, integrated into SHIMANO lures to enhance their attraction to fish. It employs a reflective foil mirror suspended on micro springs within the lure’s body, creating a continuous flashing effect even when the lure is stationary. This mimics the natural movements and flashes of bait-fish, increasing visibility and appeal in various water conditions. Flash Boost lures are designed to entice predatory fish by simulating the erratic reflections seen in distressed prey and is especially useful when targeting cautious fish that are wary of too much erratic movement. This cutting-edge technology provides anglers with a competitive edge, improving their chances of a strike by making the lure more lifelike and enticing.

SCALE BOOST

SCALE BOOST is a revolutionary lure technology that enhances the realism of SHIMANO lures. Utilising an intricate holographic design, Scale Boost accurately replicates the natural scale patterns of bait-fish with stunning precision. This 3D-like appearance creates life-like reflections and subtle movements, making the lure incredibly convincing to predatory fish. By closely mimicking the natural look of real fish scales, Scale Boost increases the lure’s effectiveness in attracting fish, especially in clear water conditions. Scale Boost technology makes lures more enticing, providing a significant advantage in both freshwater and saltwater. Five different patterns are used depending on the lure type.

NATURAL

BOOSTCONCEPT:

FOUR BOOST STYLES THAT GIVES LURES A POWERFUL ADVANTAGE!

• FLASH BOOST - Invites the reflection of a mirror plate

• JET BOOST - Achieves both stable flight distance and swim action

• ARMABOOST - Reduces air resistance of joint lures

• SCALE BOOST - Appeals with the brilliance of a composite hologram

JET BOOST

SHIMANO JET BOOST is an advanced lure technology designed to enhance casting distance, accuracy and smooth swimming action. This innovation employs an internal spring-loaded weight transfer system that shifts the centre of gravity during the cast to optimize aerodynamics and flight stability. Once the lure hits the water, the internal springs instantly reposition the weight to stabilize the lure, ensuring an immediate smooth and natural swimming action. Jet Boost allows anglers to reach distant targets with minimal effort, improving coverage and increasing the likelihood of catching fish in hard-toreach spots. Ideal for both freshwater and saltwater fishing, Jet Boost provides superior casting performance, giving anglers a significant edge in diverse fishing conditions.

ARMABOOST

SHIMANO ARMABOOST lure technology solves the challenges associated with casting jointed swimbaits long distances. A unique innovative joint system, comprising of a hinge and magnet combination, enables the lure to fold into a compact and stable position during flight, increasing both distance and also accuracy. Hook entanglement is also eliminated by the meticulous position of the hook eye, the body angle and a micro lock system the semi-fixes the hook in flight. Upon landing the body immediately re-aligns and engages the magnet plates, which contribute to the natural swimming action. This results in a more reliable, effective lure that can withstand rigorous use while providing superior casting distance and accuracy for anglers.

If you are one of the increasing numbers of anglers discovering the benefits of large swimming jointed baits for catching the largest freshwater predators, you’ll certainly be interested in the BANTAM ArmaJoint 190SF FLASH BOOST.

The ArmaJoint technology greatly increases casting performance by enabling the lure to completely fold in half during casting, producing a more compact shape. And a clever ‘hook-lock’ system eliminates the front and back hooks from fouling whilst in the air. But every lure should be judged on its fishing performance and the inclusion of strategically placed magnets in the ends of the sections improves alignment, which results in a more natural swimming action, even at low speeds.

The CARDIFF ARMAJOINT 60SS is a long casting jointed swimbait designed for trout and other small predators. Featuring ARMABOOST for increased casting performance and improved swimming action, plus life-like SCALE BOOST for a natural prey-fish appearance, this highly technical lure has a great action, even at slower speeds.

The CARDIFF Armajoint 60SS is a great trout lure to use when you need to fish a slow moving swimbait to entice trout to feed. The ARMAJOINT technology increases casting performance by enabling the lure to fold during casting, producing a more compact shape. And a clever ‘hook-lock’ system eliminates the front and back hooks from fouling whilst in the air.

The addition of strategically placed magnets in the ends of the sections improves alignment, which results in a more natural swimming action, even at low speeds, making it perfect for days when trout and other small predators are inactive and not feeding aggressively. When used in clear water, the addition of SCALE BOOST gives this highly attractive lure a more life-like appearance, which often triggers fish to strike with more confidence.

BANTAM

The YASEI Soul Swim is a versatile, slow sinking jointed swimbait, with a soft tail and dorsal fin to promote more confident takes. Combining a very realistic visual appearance with a fantastic natural swimming action, the Soul Swim has two connection rings for working at different depths.

With its realistic appearance and superb swimming action, the 230mm version is a great lure to target the largest pike, whilst the smaller 160mm version will attract pike and the largest zander. When fished with a simple steady retrieve the Soul Swim produces a natural swimming action mimicking a moving bait fish, making it great for covering a lot of water. Alternatively use a twitch or jerking action to make it move erratically like a wounded or distressed bait fish to really entice wary predators. For increased versatility the Soul Swim can be attached by the front ring for a shallower straighter retrieve, or by the top ring to create a deeper running depth and different action profile.

The World Crank works exceptionally well when retrieved with a smooth retrieve, interspersed with pauses, to enable the FLASH BOOST to work to maximum effect.

The YASEI Cover Crank is a floating crankbait designed for all predators. Available is two diving options (Medium and Deep), both in 70mm, this fantastic lure has a rattle for increased attraction and comes in very effective fish-catching colours.

The YASEI Cover Crank has quite an aggressive swimming action that works effectively at all retrieve speeds, from slow to extra fast, giving you wideranging versatility and different options to fool even the hardest to catch fish. For increased attraction, especially in low light conditions or coloured water, a rattle sound is emitted when moving, enabling the fish to home in on your lure. There is a wide range of the very best fish catching colours to select, from the bright Orange Tiger through to an unusual Black Blue version. Choose from Medium or Deep diving options to suit the water and venues you are fishing.

YASEI

The BANTAM Enber 60SP is a high response suspending jerkbait which comes packed with the latest SHIMANO technology. Featuring FLASH BOOST and SCALE BOOST for visual attraction and magnetic tungsten weight transfer for long range casting performance and accuracy, it’s a great lure for fishing under the surface with a stop/ start action, enticing predators to strike without caution. The BANTAM Enber 60SP has a very responsive action and works best using a sweeping or short cranking technique to dive the lure under the surface, followed by a short pause where it will suspend in mid-water. It’s during this pause that the FLASH BOOST technology really plays a big part as it emits strike-inducing flashes from its internal mirror. In clear water this attraction is further enhanced by the life-like SCALE BOOST technology. Although only 60mm in length, the BANTAM Enber 60SP casts extremely well due to the magnetic tungsten weight transfer system. This clever system adjusts the balance of the lure when being cast, before returning the moving weight to the correct point for perfect balance during the retrieve. A highly attractive lure with great versatility for searching the mid-layers.

The BANTAM Undulator has a tight, vibratory swimming action that works effectively at all retrieve speeds, but really comes into its own when worked slowly. As its ‘Undulator’ name suggests, in shallow water it can be bumped into the bottom, especially in rocky areas, then paused to rise slowly upwards, creating an undulating action. The lipless design and top connection help reduce snagging whilst FLASH BOOST and SCALE BOOST technology enhance the visual attraction. The Undulator is a great shallow water lure for using in and around areas of underwater cover.

The YASEI Chaos Crank is a sinking lipless crankbait that can be used throughout the water column. The deep body shape profile produces a powerful vibratory action when cranking, swimming, and ripping retrieves are used, and has a fluttering action when sinking that pulls fish in from distance. Available in 60mm (11g) in 7 proven fish-catching colours.

Sinking lipless crankbaits like the YASEI Chaos Crank are incredibly versatile. It’s deep bellied streamlined design and weighted body enable rapid fluttering descents to desired depths, making it ideal for probing various water columns. Depending on the retrieve, you can make the YASEI Chaos Crank exhibit a tantalizing vibrating wobble, a chaotic erratic action, or a powerful darting motion mimicking distressed prey, which triggers aggressive strikes from all predators. The YASEI Chaos Crank also works well when bounced on the bottom, especially in colder conditions when the fish are lethargic.

The BANTAM BT Spin is a versatile lipless sinking lure which can be used both horizontally and vertically, to cover the full water column. Equipped with a spinning blade at the rear for additional attraction and SCALE BOOST for life-like visual reality, this is a great lure for fishing towards the bottom.

Although the BANTAM BT Spin can be used with a smooth constant retrieve, where the rear blade will spin, flash and vibrate, but if you really want to get the best from this lure it is best fished with a lift, fall, and stop technique. As the lure falls under its own weight, the blade creates interest and attraction, but the really outstanding feature is how it sits on the bottom. With a head down design and a perfectly shaped underside the BT Spin actually sits on the bottom when stationary, mimicking a frightened fish. But soon as you start the retrieve the action is almost instantaneous as it jumps into life as it lifts off the bottom. For increased visual attraction, the use of SCALE BOOST 3D holographic film gives a remarkable life-like scale pattern which is especially noticeable when the lure is stationary.

The powerful attraction of ISOLATE LM94 centres on a liver and marine combination and features many leading ingredients. Top quality LT94 fishmeal is a low temperature fishmeal recognised for its premium quality and contains exceptionally high protein content in excess of 70%. Hydrolysed krill is high in crude protein, Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins and one of the most powerful natural carp attractors available. Digested liver is an extract of liver which is high in vitamin B12, peptides, enzymes and amino acids. Digested liver not only adds to the nutritional profile of ISOLATE LM94 it also adds to the flavour profile, which is further enhanced with liver powder. N-Butyric acid is a natural organic product and in concentrated raw form has a very pungent smell. When added to LM94 Boilies it increases the amount of short chain fatty acids in the bait. These ingredients are further enhanced with the addition of vegetable protein and a blend of seeds and minerals. Used as either a short session impact bait, or as part of a long tern baiting campaign, ISOLATE LM94 consistently delivers exceptional results.

SCOPEX LIVER

TX1

The remarkable fish-catching effectiveness of ISOLATE Scopex Liver boilies comes from the combination of a nutritional, highly attractive base mix and a sweet creamy Scopex flavour. The core components of the base mix include over 10% protein rich insect meal, liver powder and milk protein. This combination delivers attraction across a wide spectrum and retains its effectiveness in all water temperatures. To further enhance the attractiveness and nutritional profile, Hydrolysed salmon and N-Butyric acid are also included. N-Butyric acid is a natural organic product and in concentrated raw form has a very distinctive smell. When added to ISOLATE Scopex Liver Boilies it increases the amount of short chain fatty acids in the bait, which is proven to stimulate a feeding response in carp. These ingredients are further enhanced with the addition of seeds, minerals and herbs to deliver a truly complex bait that will inspire confidence, even when fishing on the hardest waters.

HARD HOOKBAITS TX1

TX1 Hard Hookbaits are available in 15mm and 20mm sizes in Monster Crab and Banana and Pineapple flavours making them the perfect hookbait to use with the TX1 Boilies of the same flavour, or as a ‘standalone’ high attraction hookbait. These hookbaits have a very hard texture giving extra confidence that your bait is in perfect condition when leaving them in the water for a very long time, or if nuisance fish are encountered and a tougher bait is required.

PELLETS

Designed for anglers who demand reliability, TX1 Hard Hookbaits have a tougher texture compared to regular TX1 Boilies. Whether you’re on a long session leaving your bait out for hours or fishing in waters where smaller fish may peck at your hookbait, these hard hookbaits are a real advantage. Once secured on a hair rig, you can fish with absolute confidence knowing your hookbait will stay intact and perfectly positioned, ready for that all-important take from your target fish. Available in 15mm and 20mm sizes, these hookbaits come in two irresistible flavours: the protein-packed Monster Crab for a fishmeal profile and the sweet, tropical blend of Banana and Pineapple. Pair them with TX1 Boilies of the same flavour, use them over a bed of particles or pellets, or even as a single high-attraction hookbait.
