It’s Wonderful Fishing

2016 Fishing Tackle Catalogue

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the 2016 Shimano Catalogue Welcome to the 2016 Shimano Catalogue.

Commercial range has been designed by Shimano UK Pro Anglers. For more traditional float and feeder fishing the Beastmaster AX float and DX feeder models are sure to be as popular as their predecessors.

As one of the world’s leading fishing tackle companies, Shimano is committed to designing, developing and delivering excellent products across all fishing disciplines. At all price levels, from the most technologically advanced, to starter level, you will find Shimano products that offer outstanding value and performance.

Another ICAST Product Showcase winner was the new Power Pro Maxcuatro. This highly technical braid is actually 25% thinner than normal braided lines, which brings two noticeable benefits. Firstly, you can now fish with a thinner line for the same given strength, which increases casting performance and presentation. Secondly, for salt-water game anglers, you can now get more braid onto the spool, which is very important when using ultra-strong braid up to 50+kg in strength.

This year sees many new products across all ranges, with specific focus on HAGANE. HAGANE is part of Shimano’s DNA. HAGANE is the manufacturing capability of Shimano, which sets Shimano apart from the competition.

HAGANE allows reels to withstand long devoted use through toughness, precision engineering and innovation. The durability, smoothness and strength of the gearing (HAGANE Gear), efficient power transmission (X-SHIP) and the incredibly rigid reel body (HAGANE Body) creates the heart of HAGANE.

This catalogue is the first Shimano European catalogue to feature G.Loomis rods. Part of the Shimano corporation, G.Loomis is one of the world’s most respected rod brands and we have selected a range of models suitable for the European predator and fly fishing angler. The EX6 predator rods where also ICAST Product Showcase winners, so you can be sure that they are at the very leading edge of design and technology.

For anglers wanting to experience the benefits of HAGANE, the new award winning Stradic FK is the reel everyone is talking about. Voted ‘Best Freshwater Reel’ at the prestigious ICAST exhibition, the Stradic FK is the perfect example of Shimano’s outstanding design and engineering capability.

Finally, at the rear of the catalogue you will see that Shimano have produced a Fish Shimano app. This is a great resource for anglers and has many benefits including a logbook to record your captures and a share facility directly linking to social media.

New models have also been added throughout the rod ranges for 2016, with specific models now making use of Nanoalloy. This technology produces a lighter, stronger, more responsive blank and is particularly beneficial for distance casting rods like the new TX9 carp rod and the Power Aero surf rod. To satisfy the ever increasing demand across Europe for rods designed for ‘Commercial’ type carp waters, the new Beastmaster

Innovation, quality and value. Shimano delivers all three through its extensive product ranges covering the needs of all anglers, from the most advanced to the least experienced.

Shimano... it’s wonderful fishing.

REEL TECHNOLOGY

REEL TECHNOLOGY Shimano have a reputation for engineering excellence and innovation throughout the world.

Below is an overview of the most important Shimano reel features.

GEARING AND BEARINGS The HAGANE Drive Gear is produced by Shimano’s cold forging technology, without the need for additional machining. This delivers a long lasting smoothness, strength, lightness and power at the very heart of the reel.

MATERIALS MAGNESIUM Shimano use magnesium for a select number of ultra high quality reels where weight saving is essential. The use of magnesium offers a weight saving of up to 10% compared with aluminium.

ALUMINIUM Shimano uses aluminium in many different forms.

X-Ship is a combination of features that work together to create much greater efficiency. By positioning the pinion gear close to the centre line of the large diameter drive gear, more power is transferred from the handle to the rotor. The pinion gear is also supported by two Shimano A-RB roller bearings. This creates more stability.

Shimano Shielded A-RB bearings use a shield to prevent contamination. This protection reduces wear, improves efficiency and deliverers super smooth performance.

Shimano S A-RB bearings are high corrosion resistant A-RB ball bearings with an extra shield for improved protection against sand, salt or dust.

S A-RB bearings are used in salt water reels.

HYPERGEAR The precision engineered main Hypergear transmits more power from the handle to the rotor. Designed to exacting tolerances, it requires less effort but returns more retrieve playing torque with vastly reduced component wear.

Diecast aluminium is used for many types of reel and is most common on fixed spool reel bodies and rotors.

Cold Forged aluminium is used for some ‘round’ reels, fly reels and is also used for many types of spool. Made from one single piece of aluminium Cold Forging produces great strength.

Machined aluminum is used for the very best multiplier reels where precision, strength and lightness are very important.

CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4. This highly technical material is 2.5 times stiffer than CI4 and is used on many high-end Shimano reels to increase weight savings. Use of CI4+ for the body and rotor also delivers remarkable stiffness for better reel efficiency.

CI4 is an exclusive material created by the inter-fusion of carbon and polyamide. It is almost as strong as metal with the lightness of a composite. CI4 is used for the body and rotor on many Shimano reels.

XGT-7 XGT-7 is an improved version of the tried and trusted Shimano XT-7 composite material.

Used on some of the newest mid-priced reels XGT-7 is lightweight and stiff.

XT-7 Easy Maintenance is a small oil lubrication port that enables direct lubrication of the inner workings of a reel with approved Shimano lubricant. Some high-end Shimano reels have a line roller lubrication option.

XT-7 is the original Shimano composite reel material. Used on mid-priced and budget reels and spools XT-7 is reliable, robust and lightweight.

5

LINE LAY AND LINE MANAGEMENT X Aero Wrap is a worm gear oscillation system with a specially designed pitch to create optimal oscillation speeds. This provides superb uniform line lay to reduce loss of energy during the cast. X Aero Wrap is considered one of the best line lay systems in the world.

Varispeed and the latest version called VariSpeed II oscillation system moves with two variable speeds to lay the line flat and smooth onto the spool. This provides troublefree, longer distant casts. Varispeed is found on budget and mid-priced Shimano reels.

Aerowave Aerowave is used on some Shimano saltwater spinning reels. This oscillation system is simple in nature, yet produces excellent line lay with both braid and mono.

Shimano AR-C Spool is a patented spool design with an angled spool lip. This design enables the line to leave the spool with less friction and in smaller coils resulting in longer more accurate casts. AR-C spools are proven to reduce backlash and wind knots when using braid. AR-C spools are now standard on almost all Shimano reels.

Oscillation One speed Oscillation -the spool moves at a consistent speed.

Two speed Oscillation - the spool moves at two different speeds.

Slow Oscillation - the spool moves slowly allowing more line wraps per cycle.

Super Slow Oscillation - the spool moves very slowly forming almost parallel wraps of line.

FOR A TOUGHER MORE EFFICIENT REEL The more you challenge, the more you learn the strengths of your target.

With every battle, you step forward. You evolve. You become stronger, tougher, more experienced. You become more resilient and so does your tackle.

HAGANE is the manufacturing capability of Shimano, which sets Shimano apart from the competition.

HAGANE allows reels to withstand long devoted use through toughness, precision engineering and innovation.

As you evolve, we evolve.

The durability, smoothness and strength of the gearing (HAGANE Gear), efficient power transmission (X-SHIP) and the incredibly rigid reel body (HAGANE Body) creates the heart of Hagane.

The more you use it, the more you realise the value of HAGANE.

HIGHLY DURABLE COLD-FORGED ALUMINUM DRIVE GEAR

THE EMBODIMENT OF SMOOTHNES

EXTREMELY RIGID BODY FOR GREATER EFFICIENCY

The HAGANE Drive Gear is produced by Shimano’s cold forging technology, without the need for additional machining. 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.

X-SHIP is the perfect alignment of the drive and pinion gear. This improves efficiency and increases the cranking power.

There are two ball bearings for additional support on both sides of the pinion gear which keeps the rotation of the rotor stable and delivers outstanding smoothness.

The HAGANE Body is produced from high rigidity aluminium or magnesium. This creates stiffness and impact resistance, whilst at the same time eliminating flexing of the body.

The result is a rock-solid housing and support for the moving internal gearing and greater efficiency throughout the reel.

FRONT DRAG REELS SUSTAIN - HARD LURE CHAMPION Fishing with hard lures requires constant casting and retrieval and the use of a high quality reel like Sustain results in better fishing efficiency.

Because of the strong vibrations hard lures emit, and the various different drag resistance created by a wide variety of lures such as crankbaits, jerkbaits or slim profile minnows, a smooth and powerful reel really does make a difference. Depending on the size of the lures used, the Sustain 2500, 4000 and 5000 covers all situations. The Hagane Gear and Body, which also includes X-Ship, delivers continuous power, smoothness and control to get the best from all hard lures.

The Sustain also includes an AR-C spool, which improves casting performance and reduces tangles, especially when fishing with braid. Its waterproof front drag and advanced ball bearing protection also make it suitable for light saltwater spinning.

The use of a high quality reel like Sustain results in better fishing efficiency.

FG Sustain has been a household name for years in the USA and with good reason - every model is a step into the future. This range is easily identified by its stylish black and chrome finish which incorporates top Shimano features including X-Ship, Aero Wrap and an AR-C line management spool.

Available in three sizes from 2500 up to 5000, all models are perfect for general, lure, specialist, light saltwater spinning and match fishing at the highest levels. Both the 4000 and 5000 have a powerful 4.8:1 gear ratio which provides excellent torque for playing hard fighting fish in extreme situations.

Here’s Shimano’s new STRADIC has emerged from the HAGANE design concept, which delivers continuous, unchanging performance. The robust durability and unchanging feel is designed to satisfy the most demanding anglers. A reel that you can rely on, that you can challenge, that you can trust. STRADIC sets a new standard.

Shigehiro Ieda

PUSH THE STRADIC TO THE LIMIT When I first tried the STRADIC, what appealed to me was the reeling sensation. If you wind it with your eyes closed, it is so smooth you take it for a high-end reel. Because you can turn it easily without any unnecessary resistance, you can sense clearly whether the lure is moving through the water properly or not. You can focus totally on the interaction with the fish. That’s very important for fishing. The STRADIC is also really robust and water resistant. I fish as much in a month as my customers do in a year, so you can take it from me. It’s amazing that you can buy a model of such high quality at this price.

The true value of high-end model quality.

When you go into the field, it’s best if you can take two sets of tackle. That’s because you can then worry less about messing up and can enjoy fishing more actively. There’s nothing better than experience for raising the level of your game at fishing. Fishing means visiting lots of different spots, trying this and that, and pushing the envelope. That’s how you get good at fishing. Take STRADIC with you and push it to the limit. If you fish that way, you’ll find it much more fun.

STRADIC PERFORMANCE Strength is what I look for in my gear. Of course I’m going after big fish every time, so I’ve got to have gear that maintains its initial performance, even after a lot of hard use. I just love the strength of Shimano reels. They last much longer than other companies’ reels. So they’re really tough. I’ve used several so far, but they’ve all been as reliable as the first one. The STRADIC also has the same aura of strength. It feels like a new reel every time and I’m certain that it will always be good to use.

STRADIC has an aura of strength.

Each new evolution in tackle gives rise to new techniques. It really brings out the sporting aspect of game fishing. That’s why I want the coolest gear. I won’t lie. I love the STRADIC design. It’s totally Spartan — like a race car. There’s nothing unnecessary to it. It’s refined down to the last detail. And at this price, you can buy several … one for every application. One of the attractions of bass fishing is that to maintain the offensive, you have to change your tackle according to the circumstances. STRADIC has it all — performance, style and a great price. That’s pretty cool!

FRONT DRAG REELS

FK The extremely durable Hagane gear in the Stradic FK provides excellent efficiency and strength. The stiff hybrid XGT-7 and aluminum body create the perfect protection and support for the X-Ship system and shielded A-RB bearings to work to their maximum effect and efficiency. The waterproof front drag has fine, controlled adjustment and the Rigid Support Drag eliminates any deviation of the spool when set to minimum drag. The screw in handle minimizes the play and loss of energy, because it’s in direct contact with the gears. The Stradic FK has stepped away from its iconic white color and been reborn as a completely new reel, both technically and cosmetically.

LIGHTWEIGHT SERIES DISTANCE SOFTBAIT FISHING For many lure anglers the aggressive strike on a softbait during its fall is the highest reward for all of the effort. In order to feel the electricity of a zander or pike strike you might have to work for hours and hours, accelerating the lure with the rod and reel. The longer you cast, the bigger the area you can scan for predators, which might be willing to attack your soft plastic lure.

If you cast and move your bait without fatigue you will enjoy every gram Shimano saved by using the Ci4+ material. These lightweight reels help you to preserve your power and concentration for the moment when the fish strikes.

The Vanquish unifies the lightweight Ci4+ construction with the power of Hagane design and the performance of X-Ship into a brilliant reel for jiggers. The 3000 and 4000 sizes retrieve line quickly, making these reels perfect for distance fishing with softbaits during long sessions and fishing for powerful opponents.

LIGHTWEIGHT SERIES

FB The classy new Rarenium CI4+ has a body frame built from Shimano’s exclusive CI4+ composite. This reduces the weight dramatically compared to metal bodied reels, yet still retains the strength and stiffness required to ensure the internal gears retain their integrity when under pressure.

The inclusion of a Magnumlite CI4+ rotor not only reduces weight further, it produces an ultra light rotation which improves the winding sensitivity, making the Rarenium CI4+ a superb lure fishing reel.

All models combine Shimano’s exclusive X-Ship gearing with 6 Shielded A-RB bearings. This produces ultra smooth performance combined with maximum winding efficiency. The relatively slow 5.0:1 and 5.2:1 gear ratio delivers excellent torque for anglers fishing for larger species.

LIGHTWEIGHT SERIES

Available in four sizes from the smallest 1000 size for finesse fishing with lightweight lures, to the largest 4000 model for heavier lure and feeder fishing or lightweight specimen fishing, the 3000 model has a shallow spool suitable for use with lightweight mono for float fishing or braid when predator or medium range feeder fishing.

Part of the Shimano Lightweight Concept, the new Rarenium CI4+ combines ultra light weight feel with powerful winding performance, making it one of the most versatile reels in the Shimano front drag range.

FRONT DRAG REELS ULTRA LIGHT FOR BETTER BALANCE

LIGHTWEIGHT SERIES

For lightweight street fishing, with class-leading specifications, the Shimano Lightweight series, built using the exclusive CI4+ material, should be your first choice. This is especially important with ultralight dropshot or micro-spinning rods where the combination of the rod and reel has to be in balance to get the best performance.

Well balanced combinations not only fish better, they are also less tiring to use, making your fishing more effective and enjoyable.

The Lightweight Series contains several CI4+ models that are perfect for ultra-light fishing, including the Rarenium CI4+ FB, or the stunning Stradic CI4+ FA in both 1000 or 2500 sizes. One model that’s becoming very popular is the Stradic FAML 1000 which is a Micro-line version. This model, with a shallow spool, has been specially developed for use with ultra thin braided lines.

FA The Stradic CI4+ FA features the very latest lightweight CI4+ body and AR-C lightweight spool, producing excellent overall weight saving making this new model perfect for lightweight rods. The ultra light Magnumlite CI4+ rotor gives a super smooth rotation feeling. With X-ship gearing and 6 ball bearings (plus a Shimano roller bearing) the Stradic CI4+ FA generates powerful cranking performance and improved smoothness to cope with even the most demanding situations. An easy to adjust waterproof Rapid Fire drag delivers confident fish-playing performance, even when using light lines. Available in four sizes, the smallest 1000 size also has a ‘Micro Line’ version for ultra light lines and thin diameter braids.

The Stradic CI4+ FA has a lightweight body and rotor making it one of the lightest reels in its class.

FRONT DRAG REELS

AERO CI4+ REELS Aero CI4+ reels combine two of Shimano’s most recent and exclusive concepts - Aero Dynamics and lightweight CI4+ carbon construction.

Aero reels feature an oversized, wide diameter spool with a small compact body design. The larger spool improves casting performance and also produces a smoother ‘low-inertia’ drag performance. The lightweight CI4+ body construction saves a considerable amount of weight.

The result of this combination is that Aero CI4+ reels are approximately 20% lighter than similar sized reels, which results in better rod balance and improved fishing performance.

Both Aero CI4+ models also feature the very best Shimano gearing technology (X-Ship) and are available in two speed options to suit your preference.

AERO DYNAMICS

The AR-C Aero follows on from the success of the Aero introduction.

Available in a versatile 4000 size, in both standard (4.8:1) and high speed (6.2:1) options, the AR-C Aero is made from technically advanced CI4+ composite for a huge weight reduction – just 255g. The combination of X-ship gearing and 6 Shielded A-RB bearings plus a roller bearing ensure maximum power and smooth performance. For easy accurate casting the Aero uses Aerowrap II line lay and an AR-C spool.

FRONT DRAG REELS FISH FAST FOR SUCCESS

FA

Asp are species that need a special approach. Because of the fast moving cells in their eyes, they react to speed.

Fishing your lures with a fast retrieve is key to being successful. Asp are actually part of the carp family and for a predator are unusually shy. This is one of the reasons why fishing at distance, so to not disturb them, is an important element of success.

The new Aero CI4+ fits perfectly into the existing Aero range. With a lightweight CI4+ body and rotor, the Aero CI4+ weighs only 280g making it noticeably lighter than the original Aero models whilst still retaining the oversized AR-C spool. X-Ship gearing and 5 Shielded A-RB bearings transfer power from the single machined aluminium handle to the rotor with maximum efficiency for increased cranking power.

The oversized AR-C spool combined with Aero Wrap II line lay results in smoother, longer and more accurate casts and like all Aero models the large diameter spool enables the waterproof front drag to work more effectively when under pressure.

A 2.70 or 3.00 metre rod fitted with an Aero reel for longer range casting and fast retrieve is a perfect combination. The Aero CI4+ FA is available in a high speed model that is perfect for the fast retrieve. The Aero spool also helps increase casting range. Both fishing from the bank, and from a boat, this can help you to get more out of Aspius fishing.

With Asp now widespread through a lot of the European river systems there has never been a better time to fish for Asp and Shimano have the tackle you need to be successful.

The Aero CI4+ comes in two retrieve speeds; the standard model has a powerful 4.8:1 ratio that is perfect for playing hard fighting fish, whilst the HG (high gear) model has a quick 5.8:1 ratio that retrieves over 1 metre of line per handle turn making it more suited to distance fishing. Both models come with a Match and Shallow spool reducer which reduces the line capacity.

Along with a prestigious line up of top Shimano features, the Aero Feeder comes with two different sized line reducers enabling spool capacity to be changed to suit personal preference.

For anglers who prefer a double handle for feeder fishing an additional handle can be purchased from your Shimano dealer.

The smaller sized Aero 2500 FA is ideal for anglers wanting the benefits of the Aero concept in a smaller, lighter package. Perfect for many styles of fishing, the 2500 sized Aero balances lighter and shorter rods more effectively than larger reels. This makes it the ideal solution for commercial match and feeder rods, which are shorter than standard rods.

The oversized AR-C spool, combined with Aero Wrap II line lay results in smoother more accurate casts, especially with heavier mono, and the large diameter of the spool works more efficiently with the front drag, especially at light settings.

The Aero 2500 comes in two retrieve speeds; the standard model has a powerful 5.0:1 ratio that is perfect for playing hard fighting fish, whilst the HG (high gear) model has a quick 6.0:1 ratio that retrieves almost 1 metre of line per handle turn making it more suited to float fishing. Both models come with two spool reducers.

REAR DRAG REELS

REAR DRAG REELS For all-round fishing (float, feeder, lure) rear drag reels offer great versatility. The position of the drag adjustment knob is at the rear of the reel making it easy to adjust, even when fishing. Also, many Shimano rear drag reels have Fightin’ Drag which makes it even easier to adjust the drag setting when playing a fish.

All Shimano rear drag reels have quick change ‘push-button’ spools which enable the spool to be changed without adjusting the drag setting and feature an AR-C front lip for improved casting and the reduction of tangles.

REAR DRAG REELS

FIGHTIN’ DRAG The Fightin’ Drag allows you to quickly adjust the drag tension, with a minimal amount of clicks during the fight. This is especially important when the drag has not been set correctly and line is nearing the breaking point, or you need to put more pressure on the fish.

One of the most reliable ways to set the drag of a reel with Fightin’ Drag is to set the Fightin’ Drag lever to its maximum setting, and then adjust the rear drag to the breaking strength of the line. Then move the Fightin’ Drag lever back to its central position. Now you can be sure that even when the Fightin’ Drag is applied to the maximum setting the line will not break.

BAITRUNNER BAITRUNNER X-AERO THE EVOLUTION CONTINUES For 30 years Shimano Baitrunner has dominated the free-spool reel market. Since their launch in the 1980s, Baitrunner reels have been continuously improved and developed. For 2015 the Baitrunner evolution take a giant leap forward with the launch of the new Baitrunner X-Aero models. These new reels combine the traditional simplicity of the rear Baitrunner free-spool leaver, with a much larger ‘Aero Concept’ spool.

The result of this evolution is noticeably better casting performance, nearly matching that of some Big Pit type models and even better fish-playing drag performance. Baitrunner X-Aero reels are available in both large sized rear drag and smaller front drag versions.

...Baitrunner X-Aero spools are up to 30% larger in circumference. This improves casting distance and drag performance. +30%

SPECIMEN REELS

Baitrunner X-Aero 6000 model has a double handle

X-AERO RA The Baitrunner X-Aero combines the benefits and convenience of a traditional Baitrunner reel with the casting performance rivalling that of a compact Big Pit reel. This outstanding casting performance is achieved by the use of an oversized Aero Concept spool which is noticeably larger in diameter than a normal sized spool. The Baitrunner X-Aero also uses Aero Wrap II (Shimano’s top line lay system) and 2-speed oscillation for almost perfect spool line management. Another advantage of the large diameter spool is that one turn of the handle retrieves nearly 1 metre of line making retrieving from distance faster.

To satisfy modern anglers thinking, both the 8000 and 10000 sized reels now have a single handle which generates more winding power than the double handle which is still fitted to the smaller 6000 model. The hybrid body of the Baitrunner X-Aero has a black satin finish and the line clip on the XGT-7 rotor is line friendly to prevent line damage.

For more than 20 years the Shimano Baitrunner reel has been the most popular specimen reel available, trusted by millions of anglers throughout Europe. Now, with the addition of the Aero Concept spool, a single handle in the larger sizes and a satin black finish, it is set to continue to be the anglers favourite for many years.

BAITRUNNER MINI BAITRUNNER REEL ...SMALL IN SIZE, BIG IN VERSATILITY Mini Baitrunner reels have become a firm favourite of feeder and specialist anglers over the last few years. The small 2500 and 4000 sizes match perfectly to almost all feeder rods and also lighter specimen and barbel rods.

For many anglers fishing Commercial venues for small and medium sized carp, the Mini Baitrunner reels are the first choice reel because of the Baitrunner free-spool facility.

When engaged it is almost impossible to get your line broken when a fish takes the bait. This is especially important when Method feeder or bolt rig fishing which often results in savage bites.

For specialist anglers fishing for powerful species like barbel and tench the same applies. Bolt rigs can be safely used, even at close range, which can be a big problem when using a normal type reel.

For predator anglers fishing with deadbaits, the Baitrunner free-spool lets the fish pick up the bait and run for a few metres without resistance. The result is more successful hooking and less dropped runs.

Mini Baitrunner reels may be small in size but they are perfect performers for many types of fishing.

X-AERO FA The Baitrunner X Aero FA is one of the most advanced small reels available and combines the benefits and convenience of a traditional Mini Baitrunner reel, with additional casting performance delivered by the new Aero Concept spool design which is larger than previous spools.

Available in both 2500 and 4000 sizes, the Baitrunner X Aero FA makes a superb feeder reel when fishing for small and medium carp, alternatively it can also be used for many specialist situations and even as a small predator reel where the freespool facility really comes into its own.

BIG PIT

SLOW SPEED OSCILLATION = GREATER DISTANCE Slower oscillation reduces the speed that line travels up and down the spool on the cast. This results less friction as line leaves the spool and reduced drag on the lead, which improves casting distance and accuracy.

STANDARD OSCILLATION UP TO 19 WRAPS

SLOW OSCILLATION 20 - 49 WRAPS

SUPER SLOW OSCILLATION 50 - 100 WRAPS

GOOD OSCILLATION IMPROVES DISTANCE The X Aero Wrap supported worm shaft oscillation system sets Shimano apart from many of its competitors. By slowing down the oscillation speed of the spool as it moves up and down, line is wrapped onto the spool in a much smoother, more organized way.

The biggest benefit of this is that during a long cast, line comes off the spool much more effortlessly, with reduced friction. This reduction of friction not only increases casting distance, but also improves performance in accuracy and ensures ultra-smooth drag release. Super Slow oscillation, with its staggering 100 rotor turns per oscillation, is unique in the fishing industry and shows the high skilled engineering and manufacturing capabilities of Shimano.

Shimano Big Pit reels, with advanced spool oscillation, offer the ultimate in casting performance.

The Aero Technium MgS has everything a serious distance casting carp angler could want... ultra light, market leading line lay and a ‘cult’ matt black finish.

XT-B MgS XSA The Aero Technium 12000 XTB MGS is the ultimate distance casting reel for those who want the very best. It’s a reel designed without compromise and literally includes the best of everything Shimano has to offer in a sleek futuristic body that is finished almost totally in black with subtle chrome detailing. The magnesium and CI4+ body components produce remarkable lightness, which in turn increases rod speed when casting. The combination of the AR-C spool, Aero Wrap II and Super Slow Oscillation (approximately 100 turns of line per full oscillation) produces the most perfect line lay and the inclusion of X-ship engineering ensures maximum cranking efficiency when playing fish. A prestigious 8 Shielded A-RB bearings, plus a roller bearing, makes this model the smoothest Shimano ‘Big Pit’ you can own and a few turns of the slim profile handle reveals it’s true pedigree.

The inclusion of a line guard guarantees trouble free performance and prevents any chance of the line getting under the spool.

BAITRUNNER SPOOL REELS COMPACT BIG PIT REELS The smaller 5500 compact sized Ultegra Big Pit models offer a great compromise between all out casting performance and usability.

Noticeably lighter in weight and smaller in size, the compact size suits slightly lighter rod actions, whilst still delivering outstanding casting performance. They also have a faster gear ratio which retrieves over 1 metre of line per handle turn.

The compact version is a great reel for all water sizes and isn’t out of place on small man-made lakes or large open European waters.

As with all Shimano Big Pits a Baitrunner II spool enables you to fish in free-spool mode for the ultimate in fish-playing control.

XT-C The Ultegra XTC comes in two sizes, a compact 5500 and a massive 14000. Both models have a Baitrunner spool and benefit from the inclusion of X-ship engineering, plus 4 Shielded A-RB bearings and a roller bearing all housed in a compact body. The result is smoothness and efficiency never seen in this price range before.

Line management is controlled with a combination of AR-C spool, Aero Wrap II plus 2-speed slow oscillation ensuring superb line lay. The 5500 is excellent for fishing the smaller waters or for long range specialist fishing. The huge 14000 is perfect for large waters where distance is a must.

SURF CASTING REELS

SHIMANO SURF CASTING REELS One of the most important aspects of surf and beach fishing is to be able to reach the fish and long casting is essential, which is why Shimano lead the way in surf casting reels. Our advanced line lay oscillation systems are admired throughout the world.

All Shimano surf casting reels feature Aero Wrap II, with our more advanced models featuring Slow Oscillation, or the amazing Super Slow Oscillation.

The combination of advanced line lay and AR-C spools ensures line leaves the spool with minimal friction, which in turn improves distance.

Another advantage of our surf casting reels is that all Shimano reels are built in our own factories. This enables us to closely control the quality of the engineering, resulting in stronger, smoother, longer lasting reels.

SALTWATER REELS

SW-B The STELLA SW focuses on absolute power. To achieve it, toughness, cranking power, rigidity, water resistance and drag performances have all been upgraded.

The core technologies are X-Ship, which enhances power transmission efficiency through the gear, plus Power Aluminium Body, X-Rigid Rotor, X-Rigid Bail and X-Rigid Handle to improve rigidity and eliminate loss of power caused by flexing.

Synergy generated by all these technologies combine to prevent loss of power input from the handle and create enormous cranking power. In order to support this power, extreme toughness from X-Rigid Gear is introduced at the heart of the reel’s body.

X-Tough Drag, with its dramatically enhanced heat resistance and toughness, anticipates the blazing speed of bluefin tuna and giant trevally. Drag performance has been made even smoother, further assuring its reliability. In addition to these epoch-making mechanisms, focus is also placed on water resistance, in order to maintain their initial performance and toughness. The dependable X-Shield system has been applied throughout, and X-Protect provided at the roller clutch assembly a crucial area for water resistance.

The Stella SW focuses on absolute power to tackle the hardest fighting salt water fish in the world. Designed and built without compromise, Stella SW is the ultimate big game reel.

HIGHLY DURABLE COLD-FORGED ALUMINIUM DRIVE GEAR

THE EMBODIMENT OF SMOOTHNESS

EXTREMELY RIGID BODY FOR GREATER EFFICIENCY

The HAGANE Drive Gear is produced by Shimano’s cold forging technology, without the need for additional machining. 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.

X-SHIP is the perfect alignment of the drive and pinion gear. This improves efficiency and increases the cranking power.

Their are two ball bearings for additional support on both sides of the pinion gear which keeps the rotation of the rotor stable and delivers outstanding smoothness.

The HAGANE Body is produced from high rigidity aluminium or magnesium. This creates stiffness and impact resistance, whilst at the same time eliminating flexing of the body.

The result is a rock-solid housing and support for the moving internal gearing and greater efficiency throughout the reel.

MULTIPLIER REELS

SHIMANO MULTIPLIERS Shimano multipliers are the most comprehensive and reliable range available. My boat is a sport fishing and professional set up and we practice trolling, spinning and jigging with Shimano high quality equipment. For this kind of fishing, we need strong tackle so our customers, almost always new anglers, trust it and are comfortable.

When we take part in deep sea competitions, we need to move around easily when stand-up fishing, so we usually use TLD reels, which are lighter and more intuitive.

The electronic Dendou Maru is the perfect reel for deep sea fishing. For slow trolling techniques with depths of between 250 and 400m, where the physical fight is not the most important thing, but where the fishing result is, it can always be guaranteed with Dendou Maru electronic reels.�

SPINNING RODS

ROD TECHNOLOGY

Shimano produce rods for almost all fishing styles and methods, covering a wide range of budgets. With a top-down design approach Shimano are constantly pushing the boundaries of innovation by using the latest materials, components and manufacturing techniques.

Shimano High Pressure Carbon is a process which creates stronger, more responsive blanks. Pressure is applied to the blank surface during curing (heating) which evenly distributes the resin through the carbon fibre matrix. The result is a much stronger, more consistent performance and improved responsive.

XT CARBON Toray NANOALLOY technology is used on selected premium Shimano rods. The resin, which holds the carbon fibres together in the blank, is distributed more evenly, eliminating weak spots and creating a better alignment of the fibres.

Shimano Low Resin Carbon uses less resin to hold the carbon fibres together. This results in lighter more responsive blanks. Low Resin Carbon is usually used on lightweight rods where balance and action are very important.

The result is stronger, lighter and more responsive fishing rods.

76

XT Carbon is used throughout the Shimano rod range. The number following the XT (XT100), denotes the quality of carbon fibre used.

The higher the number, the stronger the carbon. Where different types of carbon are combined to create the required action both numbers will be shown (XT60/40).

SPINNING RODS

Adding Biofibre reinforces the carbon fibres in all directions. This gives outstanding strength, shock resistance, lightness and power.

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.

“

Fuji are one of the leading rod component companies in the world and have a close working relationship with Shimano. Fuji guides are used extensively on Shimano rods. Fuji reel seats are also used on many high quality Shimano rods.

Fuji guides are used extensively throughout the rod range and have now been introduced onto more midpriced models.

The result is even better value and performance.

For high quality salt water rods, Shimano often select ALPS guides and reel seats. ALPS roller guides have a reputation for excellence which perfectly matches the expectations of Shimano.

77

Fossil Wood is used on some Shimano reel seats. Created by compressing organic raw materials into a carbon like state using over 1000 degrees of heat, the resultant material is much stronger than wood and each component is both unique and resistant to moisture.

The unique SDR construction process eliminates any spine forming during manufacture, meaning the blank action remains uniform, regardless of which way the rod is bent.

It is 10% slimmer and up to 20% lighter than its predecessor. The new and lightest Titanium Torzite guides by Fuji, exclusively designed custom parts and the highest quality cork available are just some of the features that make the Lesath a leader in its class. The cosmetics of the rod compliment the design of the Stella FI.

DX The Antares is built on a HPC200 blank with the addition of Biofibre, resulting in a fast, progressive action. The addition of Steady Cast vastly improves casting performance and ensures that your bait can be placed accurately time and time again. Fuji Alconite K-type guides help to ensure smooth, tangle free casting. Rapid heat transfer of the Alconite guides will cope easily with all types of line, giving it a longer lifespan. The natural Power Cork handle ages much slower than standard handles, making sure that the Antares DX maintains its superb performance.

SPINNING RODS

THE CORRECT ACTION With the expanding ranges of the hard lure producers, more and more anglers are exploring the world of twitchbaits, crankbaits, jerkbaits, stickbaits, countdowns, rip baits, floaters, deep divers etc. All of these lures open the door to any depth or structure and enable the skilled angler to respond to any mood of the predator – be it highly aggressive or totally inactive. In order to fish the huge array of different baits effectively you need special rods. For example a crankbait demands a softer and slower blank because of the linear retrieve and the vibration caused by the broad lip of the lure.

On the other hand a jerkbait has to be pulled erratically through the water, which is only possible with a stiff fast actioned rod. Generally short handles are perfect for the use of hard lures because they give you enough freedom to manipulate the baits properly. In nearly all of our rod ranges you will find rods perfectly suited for the different hard lure types available.

DX The progressive action of the Beastmaster helps to ensure easy lure presentation and great control during the fight. A lot of heat can build up on the ceramics whilst battling large predators, and this can damage the line. With the Fuji Improved Hard guides, the level of heat is dramatically reduced, vastly helping to increase the longevity of your mainline and prevent any unnecessary breakages. The optional Balance Weight enables customised rod balancing to suit you preference.

This lightweight rod series is perfect for fast fishing with small lures and spinners up to a size 3, for long periods of time. In competitions fish tend to get wary, start moving from the bank and become difficult to catch. Fishing with finer lines gives you the advantage of casting further and more accurately covering more water than your opponent.

The sensitive tubular tip will detect the smallest of bites and absorb the pressure safely when using the fines lines.

Tribal Carp Rods The range of Tribal carp rods has been developed in the UK to meet the demands of modern carp anglers and since their launch have become increasingly popular in Europe.

Covering a wide variety of budgets and requirements, from the entry level Velocity through to the new Tribal TX-9, which is made from the latest carbon fibre technology and is fitted with Fuji K-type guides.

Below are some of the common features to be found on Tribal models.

INTENSITY VERSIONS

HPC CARBON BLANKS

ANTI-WRAP TIP GUIDES

50MM BUTT GUIDES

Any rod that bares the Intensity name is the result of fine tuning the blank in order to achieve the maximum possible casting distance performance. Components and areas of the blank have been stripped of weight to increase tip speed and recovery. Areas that receive critical amounts of pressure are strengthened to tolerate even the most aggressive casting techniques. The result is a finely tuned casting machine.

HPC (High Pressure Carbon) is an exclusive Shimano process which increases blank strength considerably. Pressure is applied to the blank when curing, forcing the resin through the carbon matrix evenly. This reduces weak spots and improves overall strength.

Lightweight Anti-Wrap 16mm Silicone Carbide Tip guides are better for distance casting and fishing in weedy conditions. The reduced weight also improves tip recovery on the cast.

Shimano Anti Wrap guides do not have a weld at the back of the frame.

Ultra light 50mm Silicon Carbide guides are available on most Tribal carp, spod and marker rods. This increases casting distance and limits ‘frap-ups’ that can occur when fishing at extreme range. 50mm guides are perfectly suited to Shimano Super Slow oscillation reels.

SAFETY ROD STOPPER

PROTECTIVE LINE CLIPS

STAINLESS STEEL BUTT CAPS

A small abbreviation behind the reel seat locks the rod behind the rear rest ensuring it is not pulled in on a blistering take.

Specially developed ‘soft touch’ line clips are fitted to Tribal rod to ensure that line is never damaged when placed behind the clip.

Across the range certain rods are fitted with Tribal engraved stainless steel butt caps so that they look like new even after years of use.

One of the slimmest, most powerful blanks ever made which improves casting performance without affecting the tip and middle section playing action required for maintaining a secure hook hold.

TX-9 The TX-9 carp rod range represents the very latest in carbon fibre manufacturing processes using a blend of HPC300 plus Biofibre carbon with Nano Alloy technology. This delivers one of the slimmest, most powerful blanks ever made which improves casting performance without affecting the tip and middle section playing action required for maintaining a secure hook hold. Fitted with light yet highly robust Fuji SIC K-Type guides that are cosmetically matched to the rod in gun metal grey, the stand off 40mm butt ring looks understated, but is equal in performance to more bulky 50mm traditional type butt rings. The slim full EVA handle is designed with an optimum length to deliver the best casting action in each length category. The TX-9 rods are also fitted with the Shimano 3K woven carbon custom reel seat with a dedicated milled slot which will accept a small ‘beta light’. This cool satin cross hatch carbon effect continues up the low diameter butt section and well into the tip section. Both the 12’ and 13’ models have an Intensity model included for extreme distance casting.

CATFISH RODS THE ULTIMATE FRESHWATER CHALLENGE Catfish are the largest freshwater fish in Europe and offer the specimen angler the ultimate challenge.

Tackle has to be powerful and strong to cope with these massive fish and in the past anglers had to use sea fishing rods to cope with huge size.

Now, Shimano offers a full range of catfish rods, all designed and built to cope with the extreme pressure. Models are designed for bait fishing, lure fishing and boat fishing to suit all methods.

Within the catfish range there are four Beastmaster models that use tough XT60 carbon with added Biofibre for amazing lightness and strength. All are fitted with ultra strong guides to cope with braid or mono lines.

BARBEL RODS

THE BARBEL REVOLUTION More and more anglers are discovering the excitement of barbel fishing.

The wrenching bite, the powerful fight and the sight of a magnificent fish in the net is great fun. In the UK many barbel rivers are quite small and light test curve rods will cope with almost anything you hook, but for larger rivers (especially in Europe), you need more power and strength.

Barbel rivers often vary in pace from slow to very fast. Always use a quivertip that is stiff enough to cope with the flow, or fish with the standard top section with no quivertip. Barbel bites are nearly always fast and strong and spotting a bite is rarely a problem. For slower rivers the Classic (CL) barbel rods are fine, for larger more powerful rivers choose the Power (P) versions.

PRECISION AND LONG CAST ROD ACTIONS Speedcast and Super Ultegra Feeder rods are available in two different actions to suit the range you are fishing to.

For close to medium range feeder fishing up to 50 metres, the shorter Precision action models ensure your casts will land with pin-point accuracy.

For longer range fishing the Longcast action will send your feeder into the distance with ease, thanks to the extra power in the lower half of the rod and the increased length. Longcast rods also have large quivertip guides to reduce friction and prevent shock-leader knots from catching on the cast.

Ultegra Ci4 5500 XT-B

For even longer distance casting match the Longcast rods with either Aero reels (70m) or the compact size (5500) Ultegra ‘Big Pit’ reels (100m+).

MATCH & FEEDER RODS WHY YOU NEED A ‘PLAYING ACTION’ Commercial carp fishing (Carpodrome) originally started in the UK, but is now quickly spreading throughout Europe.

Small, often man-made lakes, full of small and medium sized carp, are easy places to fish, but by using the correct methods and tackle the fishing is often spectacular.

A lot of the fishing is done using the Method feeder or with larger Pellet Wagglers designed for large baits like pellets and boilies. Whilst most Shimano feeder and float rods will work well, the use of specially designed rods is even better, which is why Shimano has developed the ‘Commercial’ range of rods in both Beastmaster and Forcemaster ranges.

These rods have been developed in the UK and are designed for catching small and medium sized carp. Because a lot of the fishing is done at close range (less than 30 metres) they all have parabolic fish-playing actions which absorb the power of the fight to prevent unnecessary fish losses. This is very important when the fish are close to the net and make their final dash for freedom.

Available for both feeder and float fishing the balance of these rods is quite remarkable. All of the Feeder models can be used with small and medium Method feeders and the float rods are perfect for Pellet Waggler fishing.

Another feature of the ‘Commercial’ ranges is that they pack away in two equal lengths. This means they can be transported with the reel in position and the rod ready to fish.

Whichever model you choose, the one thing that you can guarantee when using the Shimano Commercial rods is a lot of fun and plenty of action!

CX COMMERCIAL

The New Beastmaster Commercial range is built using ultra slim HPC60+ Biofibre blanks giving the angler great control and feel over a hooked fish.

The progressive through action design of the range means that hooks pulls are reduced at close range and casting accuracy is greatly increased.

Beautifully designed graphics and hard wearing Fuji guides create a rod that not only looks great but will also never let you down. The range encompasses the iconic 9-11’ Beastmaster Commercial feeder rod, a rod that has been updated to ensure that this classic rod stays ahead of the competition. Throughout the range there is a rod for any commercial fishery application, from the deceptively strong 8’ Commercial Picker right through to the power packed 12’ Commercial Power Feeder - an ideal rod for casting method feeders to the horizon.

TROUT RODS

TROUT FISHING IN EUROPE Trout are a fascinating species that can be caught using many methods.

Using a spinning rod and small lures in lakes and rivers, or fishing for sea trout on the banks of the Baltic sea, the methods open to anglers is wide reaching. In recent years the Tremarella technique at ‘Put and Take’ lakes has also become increasingly popular in Europe.

Fishing for sea trout, brown trout or rainbow trout requires different kinds of rods in order to present the wide range of lures in the best way.

Shimano has a great variety of different rods, for all kinds of trout fishing, in a wide range of price categories to ensure that no matter what your preferred method, or budget, there is model that is perfect for your requirements.

SURF RODS

SURF CASTING Surfcasting is more and more popular, but also more and more specialised. Serious anglers tend to fish lighter and at longer distances, in an effort to reach the feeding fish. They also need slim and sensitive rods to maximise casting distance and bite detection. Shimano rods are designed to satisfy the needs of modern anglers.

Long casting is the key to finding the fish on many shallow beaches, and by combining a Shimano surf rod with a large sized Shimano fixed spool reel you have the ultimate casting combination.

For 2015, our engineers have developed even more specialised rods than before. The top of the range Aero Technium Tele Surf generates amazing power and is fitted with the best components and technologies to help you to cast further.

They are also designed to be comfortable, so that continual casting is not a problem.
