Silent Drive

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. 

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. 

Parallel Body

The Parallel Body feature implicates that the spool is lined out parallel to the rod. This results in the reduction of line touching the rod and subsequently this increases the casting distance.

Super Slow Oscillation 5

Slower spool oscillation reduces the speed the 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. Shimano Standard Oscillation (up to 20 wraps per cycle) outperforms the industry standard. Shimano Slow Oscillating (up to 40 wraps per cycle) exceeds almost anything else ever seen. Shimano now has two Super Slow Oscillation systems, Super Slow 5 (55 wraps) and Super Slow 10 (105 wraps).

AR-C Spool

Shimano ARC 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. ARC Spools are proven to reduce backlash and wind knots when using braid.

Instant Drag

Instant Drag allows the drag setting to be switched from free spool to a "fight" setting by tightening the Instant Drag lever on the front of the spool in only a few turns.
