TECHNOLOGY GLOSSARY

The key friction area on most fixed spool reels is where the spool drive shaft meets the pinion. Shimano designers have overcome this by reducing a large percentage of surface area contact and incorporating bearings on either side of the shaft. The resultant design leaves the shaft in a ‘floating’ position, considerably improving efficiency and longevity.

These spools are cold forged from aluminium alloy. The cold forging process creates a lightweight spool with increased structural strength and more resistance to abrasion and damage.

Hypergear This precision-engineered main gear 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. In fact, all reels offer a breathtaking 90.3% efficiency, which makes them not only feel great, but in years to come they’ll still be quietly purring.

Reduces reel wobble and produces ultra smooth performance.

A spool design with a V-shape spool lip ensuring line to come of the reel in smaller loops for further and more accurate casting. The AR-C spool will minimize the risk of backlash.

This feature enables you to directly lubricate the inner workings of the reel without having to take it apart. A small oil-lubrication port can be found on each of the SR-System and S-System reels which, when removed, enables you to apply manufacturer approved lubricants to the inside mechanism. The special design of the Shimano Power Roller significantly reduces line twist during the retrieve and is a big advantage when using thin mono and braid.

Baitcasting

By improving the internal friction efficiency Shimano succeeded to bring its line lay systems to perfection. Close parallel coils in combination with 2 speed oscillation ensure smoother and further casting.

Floating Shaft II

The Instant Drag system allows you to adjust the clutch from free spool to ‘fight’ in only a few turns. In the interests of fish safety & the environment, please ensure that you do not exceed the breaking strain of the mono/braid when tightening the drag as this could lead to line breakage.

With the reel set in anti-reverse mode you’ll find zero free-play on the handle thanks to Super Stopper II. Unerringly positive every time, its practical benefits include micro increment settings of quiver tips or specialist bite indicators and faster hook setting.

Fly

A perfect line lay is needed to have the best casting performance and our unbeatable Aero Wrap II system combined with Super Slow Oscillation allows you to make the longest casts ever. Super Slow Oscillation means 50 to 100 rotor turns in one full oscillation. Incorporated in our new Aero Technium XTB Mgs the oscillation speed is extremely slow with a staggering 100 rotor turns per oscillation.
