Shimano Cruxis Baitcasting Reel

admin — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 20:07:08 +0000

The Shimano Cruxis Baitcasting Reel features Dartainium drag for the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever. And that's not even the half of it: Lo-Mass drilled spool system reduces the spool weight and lowers start-up inertia for more manageable casts with this Shimano fishing reel. The Super Free bearing supported pinion gear system eliminates friction between the pinion gear and spool shaft. This Shimano fishing reel also High Efficiency Gearing, a Variable Brake System that uses centrifugal force rather than magnets to control the cast for increased distance, and a Super Stopper 1-way roller bearing eliminates backplay for solid hooksets. The Assist Stopper acts as a back-up anti-reverse system to reduce the stress placed on the 1-way roller bearing and increase durability.

The Shimano Cruxis baitcasting reel also offers a Turn-key access side plate and a drilled handle shank that reduces the weight of the Reel. The Dartainium drag provides a wide range of drag settings and smooth drag performance. It also has an aluminum frame for unflexing durability, a recessed reel foot that allows the Reel to sit closer to the rod for increased comfort and maneuverability, clicking drag adjustment, and metal frames that increase efficiency and durability by keeping moving parts in precise alignment.

Shimano Symetre FI Spinning Reel

admin — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 16:43:49 +0000

You expect quality when you purchase a Shimano fishing reel and that's what you get with the Shimano Symetre FI Spinning Reel. This fishing reel is solid, smooth, silent and just looks great. The Shimano Symetre FI is built with an Aluminum Frame (model 750 is graphite) and a cold forged aluminum spool that provides increased strength and durability.

The Shimano Symetre FI also has a graphite sideplate and rotor and comes with a spare cold forged aluminum spool. The S-Concept design provides a smooth, silent and strong Reel. This fishing reel has excellent castability and control due to slow oscillation that lays the line in a parallel pattern. The S-Arm Cam protruding surface on the bail arm keeps slack line in contact with the line roller to reduce the chance of tangles and line cuts. The drive train can be easily lubricated without disassembling the reel by accessing the maintenance port. Super Stopper II is a 1-way roller bearing that eliminates backplay for solid hooksets, yet can be turned on or off to allow back-reeling.
