Conquer the field with "super sensitive and lightweight" that can be manipulated
at will Magnum light rotor and lightweight body realize light unwinding and excellent operability. In addition, it is equipped with a micro module gear II and a silent drive that realize a smooth and quiet gear feeling, and more delicate reeling is possible. In addition, long throw performance with long stroke spool, X protection, and durability performance with HAGANE gear are not compromised. For technical and stoic anglers seeking results.
Key feature
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 diameter drive gear, 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.
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. Areas to be improved are wide-ranging, including drive gears, worm shafts, worm shaft pins, worm shaft gears, and slider gears. A new dimension 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.
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.
Sliding functional parts for moving the spool back and forth are placed on the upper part 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.
*Body material & rotor material
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 an 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.
Pursuing a smooth feeling when opening. The opening and closing angle is wide, and the feathering property is also improved. It also prevents unexpected veil return.
Adopts a new shape clip that is easy to remove and has improved holding power. It supports a wide range from ester 0.2 to fluorocarbon 40 lbs.
