The perfect choice if you…
• Target perch, trout, or other cautious predators with small lures
• Want an alternative to ultralight spinning reels
• Crave maximum casting distance and accuracy with minimal friction
Key Technologies:
• X-SHIP – Extra durability and power transfer: supports the pinion gear with bearings on both sides → smooth, powerful cranking even under load
• HAGANE BODY – Rigid metal frame eliminates flex → more power, more durability, even with big fish
• FTB (Finesse Tune Brake) – Shimano’s own ultralight casting tech: the magnetic brake is placed in the side plate, not the spool → lighter, more sensitive, and tangle-free casting control
• S3D Spool – Perfectly balanced to reduce vibration → super-smooth casts
• SUPER FREE SPOOL – Reduces shaft friction during the cast → longer, more accurate casting
• EXCITING DRAG SOUND – Hear the drag scream when a fish runs → now in a baitcaster too
• S-ARB – Double-shielded stainless bearings → protection from salt, grit, and wear
Summary:
• Best for: Trout, perch, and other predators caught with tiny lures
• Recommended lure weight: From approx. 1 g
• Body material: HAGANE aluminum
• Technologies: X-Ship, FTB, S3D, Super Free Spool, Exciting Drag Sound, S-ARB
