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.

Shimano Chronarch Baitcaster Group of reels: New Technology at its Best

April 12th, 2010 by admin | 14 Comments | Filed in Low Profile Baitcasting Reels

The Shimano Chronarch Baitcaster.

Shimano introduced the 1st Chronarch in 1993 and since then new materials, new design features and new technologies tend to be utilized by each upgraded line-up of the Shimano Chronarch Baitcaster group of reels.

Shimano has always combined the top features from old and added them to the brand new to create very successful reels.

The redesigned Shimano Chronarch Baitcaster is packed with exciting features that make this reel far better than ever before.

When you lift it from your box first of all , what you’ll see is a new sleek body design which has resulted in a significant weight reduction and improved ergonomics. The next thing you see is the colour and very durable finish on the Shimano Chronarch Baitcaster because of the Ion Plating technology exclusive to Shimano, this exact Ion Plating was adopted for the Stella Reels.

Take notice of the Aluminium spool so far as I know its a brand new design to give you longer and smoother casts,it somehow reduces inertia allowing the spool to spin considerably quicker

The entry point to access the VBS centrifugal braking system has been changed from the screw lock system to a user friendly trigger system saving time if you have to make changes/adjustments while fishing.

Another exclusive recent innovation of shimano’s is the HEG; High Efficiency Gearing.They have increased the diameter of the gear wheels which gives far more leverage and much greater speed on the retrieve.
