Features:

• Hagane Gears - Shimano, through the application of state-of-the-art technologies, gives anglers the long-lasting smoothness and enjoyment that is felt when anglers first use a reel, over and over again. No cutting work is applied to the teeth of the drive gear during fabrication; instead, the entire surface is calculated in minute detail by a special 3D design and then formed by Shimano's cold-forging technology. The result is assured resilience. HAGANE Gear is the result of Shimano's endless pursuit for durability — this strength and power of forged metal continue to represent the fundamental concept of Shimano reels.
• X-Ship - X-Ship provides improved gear performance. Large diameter drive gear, optimally positioned pinion gear and drive gear, and two points bearings supported pinion gear produce light reeling under load.
• Infinity Drive - Infinity Drive is a new main shaft supporting structure that improves winding torque and allows for incredibly smooth and light rotation.
• Silent Drive - The basic design of the entire body and drive-related parts were reviewed one by one to reduce minute rattles, gaps, and shaking between parts down to the smallest detail. It provides smooth and quiet reel rotation.
• X-Protect - Shimano focused on a non-contact structure that does not compromise the lightness of the spinning. In addition to conventional water-repellent treatment, a labyrinth structure that suppresses water penetration is combined to achieve high water-resistant performance despite the non-contact nature of the structure. It is used in the stopper bearing section and line roller section.
• G-Free Body - G-Free Body technology has been developed to shift the reel's centre of gravity closer to the rod. By moving the centre of gravity closer to the angler’s hand, the G-Free Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.
• AR-C Spool - The spool has a special spool ring shape. This creates a rectifying effect on the line and realises both suppression of line trouble and long casting performance.
• Ci4+ - Ci4+ is a resin material reinforced with carbon fibre that is lighter and has a higher strength than conventional resin material. CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4 material.The rigidity and durability have been greatly improved from original CI4 material while maintaining the lightness of the material, making it possible to reduce the size and weight of the reel.
• High Speed Drag - High Speed Drag is the fastest drag function ever featured on a Shimano reel. A minimal turn on the drag knob will transition the drag settings from free-spool mode to fight mode
• One Piece Bail - One Piece Bail allows the line to travel unimpeded to the line roller. The seamless design reduces friction and decreases the chance of tangles or the line catching on the bail arm.
