19 Vanquish C3000SDHHG

Shimano's design concept is to create products that can be truly used by making the most of metal processing technology.

Robustness that can be used safely even in harsh conditions. Precise winding comfort and reliable operation that stimulate sensibility. And the hoisting power beyond imagination. By honestly pursuing a reel that can be used by anglers, that activity creates HAGANE gears and HAGANE bodies and becomes Shimano's belief. All for anglers.

What we aimed for was a feeling that never changes.

Pressing a metal mass with high pressure to finish it with micron precision without cutting. A unique technology called precision cold forging creates a hard and tenacious gear that enables smooth winding.

Light and smooth. Gem gear feel.

Micro module gear II evolved with cutting-edge tooth surface design and Shimano's unique manufacturing technology. We have reviewed the design from the gear teeth and each tooth surface to pursue the ideal tooth shape. We have also achieved a reduction in noise and an improvement in smooth gear feeling.

Larger drive gear diameter, optimal placement of pinion and drive gears, and two-point support with pinion gear bearings. The meshing of these robust gears maintains light reeling that is strong against loads.

By using lightweight and highly rigid metals such as aluminum and magnesium, the deflection, distortion, and twisting of the reel are firmly suppressed. It protects the meshing of delicate gears and enables smooth reeling.

A tranquil sense of unity with thorough attention to detail.

We reviewed the basic design of the entire body and drive-related parts one by one, and thoroughly eliminated fine play, gaps, and vibrations between parts down to the smallest detail. The areas to be improved are wide-ranging, including drive gears, worm shafts, worm shaft pins, worm shaft gears, and slider gears. A new level of smooth rotation performance and quiet winding comfort have been achieved.

Rotational inertia is reduced and rotor rigidity is strengthened.

Adopting a left-right asymmetrical rotor structure, the Magnum Light Rotor achieves a different dimension of lightness in rotation in pursuit of improved operability and sensitivity. In addition, we succeeded in reducing the rotational inertia by reducing the weight of the line roller, using titanium for the bail, and optimizing the placement of the rotor thickness.

Shimano boasts an impregnable waterproof structure.

[Small and medium-sized general-purpose reel] For small and medium-sized general-
purpose spinning that requires lighter rotation, we stuck to the non-contact structure so as not to impair the lightness of rotation. In addition to conventional water repellent treatment, a labyrinth structure that suppresses water intrusion is combined to achieve high waterproof performance even though it is non-contact. Used in stopper bearings, line rollers, etc.
[Large reel for salt water]
A contact-type waterproof structure is used for large spinning reels that require higher waterproof performance. By physically cutting off the seawater entry path with a low sliding type seal member, we have achieved high waterproof performance while suppressing rotational resistance. It is used in the stopper bearing part and the line roller part, and especially the stopper bearing part has achieved waterproof standard IPX8 equivalent.

Sliding functional parts for moving the spool back and forth are placed on the top of the reel body, successfully bringing the center of gravity of the entire reel closer to the hand. This improves the sense of unity with the rod, reduces fatigue due to casting, and improves rod operability.

A spool with a special spool ring shape. This creates a line rectification effect, realizing both suppression of line trouble and long throw performance.

By increasing the width of the spool bobbin with a long stroke design,
it is possible to reduce the amount of line loss in the latter half of the cast, contributing to improved cast feeling and flight distance.

A new carbon material that evolved the lightweight carbon material CI4. The rigidity and durability have been greatly improved while maintaining the lightness, making it possible to reduce the size and weight of the reel.

By supporting the spool with the main shaft and two bearings inside the spool, it suppresses the fluctuation of the spool and exhibits stable and smooth drag performance.

By applying a special anti-rust treatment to the bearing itself, the durability against rust has been greatly improved. S A-RB further seals the sides with anti-corrosion material, greatly reducing salt deposits due to salt recrystallization inside the bearing.

Succeeded in manufacturing a seamless integrally molded veil. It looks beautiful and trouble-free.
