Knowing what feels right in your hand influences your whole fishing experience. Trout fishing streams with an ultra-lite reel, drop shot fishing for bass, or jigging for walleye are that much enjoyable with the right spinning reel. We have spent the time on the water, and we believe we have the perfect reel for you no matter what you're fishing for.

Titanium Spool Lip reduces friction during the cast and increases durability for both the reel and the line.

Cold Forged Aluminum Spool with Titanium Spool Lip provides increased strength and durability.

Spare Cold Forged Aluminum Spool with Titanium Spool Lip Included with reel.

S-Concept represents Shimano's initial philosophy on which many of our spinning reels have been designed. The three basic ideas that are inherent in the S-Concept are Smooth, Silent and Strong.

Slow Oscillation Lays the line in a parallel pattern for excellent castability and control.

Maintenance Port A sealed plug that can be removed using a screwdriver to easily lubricate the drivetrain without disassembling the reel.

S-Arm Cam A protruding surface on the bail arm keeps slack line in contact with the line roller to reduce the chance of tangles and line cuts.

S-Guard Protects the body of the reel from impact damage.

S-Rotor is compact and lightweight to ensure a comfortable retrieve.

Waterproof Drag is sealed against the intrusion of the elements, such as water or dust.

A-RB (Anti-Rust Bearings) are specially treated stainless steel ball bearings that are at least 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard stainless steel ball bearings.

Fluidrive II uses the successes of Fluidrive, but also uses a polishing process to increase tooth contact for increased efficiency.

Super Stopper II is a one-way roller bearing that eliminates backplay for solid hooksets, yet can be turned on or off to allow back-reeling.

Machined Aluminum Handle Shank for increased strength and power.

Septon Handle Grip This handle grip material is soft to the touch and does not get slippery when wet.

Dyna-Balance similar to balancing a tire, we use counterbalancing techniques in the rotor to eliminate wobble during the retrieve.

Power Roller III is an oversized line roller that reduces twist from casting and retrieving, using a cone-shaped support to help get the line onto the roller quicker.

Floating Shaft By using a bearing or bushing, friction is reduced between the pinion gear and spool shaft for increased smoothness and durability.

Metal Series Metal frames keep moving parts in precise alignment for increased efficiency and durability.

Direct Drive Mechanism the drive gear is directly connected to the handle shaft for an increased transmission of power (4000, 5000, 6000 and 8000 sizes).
