Shimano Core

August 24th, 2010 by admin | No Comments | Filed in Low Profile Baitcasting Reels

The Ultimate Lightweight Shimano Core.

The new Shimano CORE reels are designed to be the ultimate, lightweight (This brand new Core reel weighs only 173 grams on the scales) baitcasting reels. Made with magnesium frames and sideplates, and featuring Magnumlite spool construction, the standard version for all around fishing, weighs in at 6.1 ounces with a 6.2:1 gear ratio. The series consists of a left and a right-handed version and a version with a faster transfer. The FV flipping version, equipped with Instagage II, comes with oversized PV paddles and a 7.0:1 gear ratio to move fish out of cover fast. These reels both come with HEG, feature Shielded A-RB bearings and are designed to be as compact as possible for a comfortable, lightweight and maneuverable fishing experience.

Shimano describe their new Core baitcaster as the ultimate compact and light-weight baitcasting reel, and with plenty of magnesium evident in its construction, that’s pretty darn accurate. In addition to its outrageous looks, it’s packed with features to make your fishing more enjoyable, the long list of features include a Cold Forged Aluminum Drive Gear Star Drag Dartanium, Magnesium body, Double Paddle Handle and 4 Shielded A-RB bearings.

When Shimano improves an existing range or creates an entirely new one, industry benchmarks are continually being set without precedent. Anything less – simply isn’t good enough. And when Shimano wanted to make the lightest baitcast reel on the planet – they weren’t joking around.
