Shimano Magnum Lite Rotor (Quick Response Series)

New concept spinning is the  Shimano's proposed "Quick Response" series.
Lee ring light touch around fingertip alone touched,  including Magnum Light rotor innovative gear system X-SHIP.
The rigidity and enhanced lightweight thoroughly studied that each unit brought.
Quick start-up without the sluggish feeling, sensitivity to upon vibration without Nigora.
Is "real" when deployed in the water, faster than anyone else, and resound to fingertip vividly than anyone else.

THE SENSITIVITY OF THIS REEL IS UNEXPECTED.

The quick response series is amazing. "Light Rotor".' ROTOR comes to light, the rise of the first winding is faster. Then, fine vibration transmitted from the line will be less likely to be spoiled. This means that the sensitivity is good.

　For example, in fishing delicate tension management, such as area fishing is required, not just the wind to throw, and depending on whether or not can how "that you feel" the information in the water, catch is not it varies greatly. Quick response series, I'm a spinning reel a very high capacity of this "feel".

　And winding the reel, the status of the lure is swimming past the line is handed down through the handle knob. Quick response, I'm can feel the read to real changes in the swim of the lure, of course, also state that hook the Weed slightly.

　As you become more familiar, it will be able to understand how the fish have been attack to take Jallais to lure. It is a strange way of speaking, but I'm a feel you are smelt wind at their fingertips the line. Rather than would I bind a smooth stop in the inertia of the rotor, so the rotor turns well as response to the input of their own, the amount of information that comes through the fingertips I'm often.

　There are quick of its own to the winding start. Large force is required when you start turning the heavy rotor, there will be a slight delay after you to reach to the rotation that you entered. I think that this slight time would limit the movement of the lure, you'll miss the chance byte also like a lot.

　Quick response series is a reel that you can "feel the water" from within. I think if Totonoere the balance in total, including rod, and line, a new world is spread.

Daiwa A-Blitz night squid

The Night Squid is enjoyed in Japan in late autumn through early summer. To collect the squid you need to get into a fish lamp boat. When you go fishing you can catch different types of squids depending on which area you are. Even though your target is catching squid it is not uncommon to catch other kinds of fishes. Even now there are new varieties than can be caught. Squid fishing gets more and more exciting.

The Night Squid A-Blitz which is a dedicated rod to use under night conditions. You can use this rod to catch those squids at night. It has two different concepts. One is designed for those who have active hands with its “73” reach and the other one is designed for slow fishing methods with “64”. Both have optimal performances. Both models where formed for people who “wants to pursue and thorough but fun night squid fishing” and those who “want to extend the catch more than ever”

Daiwa BJ sniper ball

Sometimes there are some twisting movements on you rod. This reduces the power, operability and many other disadvantages occur when this happens. In order to counter this the rod uses the X Torque technology which negates the twisting motion making it a lot more stable and the operability, power and stability is maintained. They improved the rod by cross bias of 45 °which prevents the twist..

To reduce the amount of resin they placed the carbon fiber in a nice way to improve the density. This way the rod is much more powerful and muscular. It is widely used in the ISO poles which put emphasis on strength and tenacity?

In order to reduce the slipperiness of the rod they place a non-slip fabric on the upper and lower part of the handle. This also reduces the stress when capturing fish.

A shoulder belt is also included for convenience in carrying.

Shimano Ocea Plugger BG

When you are in the SW game the style of the rod should match the style and physical strength of the angler. So in this concept they have released the Ocea Plugger BG series. It has the Flex Energy technology it is soft but designed to catch those fishes easily.

The Flex Energy was made in the pursuit of performance and to withstand heavy and long fish fights. It adopts carbon materials because of their strength needed in a rod especially in the middle portion. It also increases the operability and the ability to cast of the angler. You can cast long even when you use small to middle sized plugs that weigh less than 100 grams. That weight is equal to a normal pencil. The body of the rod also adopts the Spiral X and High-Power X which minimizes the blurring and twisting. This also improves the casting feel and distance. The rod’s high strength will enable the angler to have a good fight with the fish without worrying about anything else. It is also able to withstand harsh angles for the rod. Bat power is given enough to use their power to control the movement and giving pressure to the fish. In addition the angler fatigue is reduced because of the position of the center of the gravity. This concept is especially made for large amberjack and tuna, it has speed and at the same time violent.

Shimano Metanium

When you go Shimano for any of your fishing needs then you never go wrong. Shimano has been known to be the best creators of fishing reels out there. Their reels are so well made that an angler will never have to think about anything than landing a catch. Shimano has engineered their reels to work smoothly. Don’t you hate it when you go fishing and your reel just doesn’t work the way you wanted it to work? Well that will never happen when you are using Shimano.

Shimano has done it again with their Shimano Metanium Mg and Mg7. These reels are an arsenal of its own and is certainly on whole another level. It is made with magnesium allow that is why it is very strong and very light. The reels are rigid and very sturdy. The lightness of the reel is well suited for people who prefer to have more control of their reels. When the fishes fight the angler needs to focus all his energy in catching the fish. if the reel was heavy then he would have to use some extra energy just controlling the reel.

The gears on the reel are also enhanced in order to improve the drag capacity of the reel. The drag capacity goes into 5kg rather that the 4kg standard of the metanium models. The machined spool will make you cast like a rocket man. This reel also has better anti rust technology than any other reels in the market today.

There are also many other metanium reels that Shimano has to offer. You can choose to your own preferences which I am sure you can find the one that is right for you. Once you have your own Shimano reel take them out and test it. the reel can take on anything that the sea can give just make sure it doesn’t go beyond the specifications. If you are a left handed person and you wanted to have a fishing reel that is for you then no problem! Shimano has left handed metanium reels that will fit the palm of your hand.

Shimano Curado G

The Shimano Curado series have been used by many anglers for many years and it could be said that it has become an angler’s main choice of reel. The series has even put up a reputation as being one of the best reel series in the world. Being used by many anglers for many years any changes that Shimano will apply will of course be met with some doubts and reaction. When Shimano introduced the Curado G many anglers debated on whether this new reel will live up to the high expectation as the previous ones did. Hopefully it will survive the cutthroat competition in the industry of reels.

Back then when the Curado D was first introduced many anglers were happy about the design and the way it was built. They say that the reel has features and ergonomics that anglers are looking for in a reel. even with the test of time any many other competitor reels in the market the Curado D was one of the best reels of his time and even today. You can still see lots of boats having the Curado D in their arsenal. By the release of Curado E it was a complete break away from Curado D. The new reel has featured new functionalities and of course was built on a better design. The also used graphite in both of the side plates which was a first on the Curado series. With the use of graphite instead of aluminum on the handle side sideplates the new reel was met with praise from all anglers and even reel experts say that it was the best.

We need to know why they used graphite instead of aluminum. Many anglers still argue on what really is the purpose of using graphite instead of aluminum. On factor says that they used graphite in order to reduce the overall weight of the reel, therefore giving more control to the angler. There were also people saying that they used graphite in order to lower the cost of making the reel. The prices of aluminum have always been increasing and in order to keep the price low enough so that the anglers will not lose lots of money they used graphite. This decision was likely more to target the economics side of the reel rather than the design. The inflation still hits a lot of people today and the move to change from aluminum to graphite was absolutely necessary.

At the ICAST 2011 when the Curado G was introduced many anglers were confused on what the Curado G really was. If you look at form factor many people noticed that the Curado G looks a lot like its predecessors the Curado E. The only difference was that the Curado G has a new paint finish. There might be some hidden potential that the Curado G will possess but since this reel is made by Shimano it is pretty sure to have the same high class quality as they have always delivered.

Shimano Calcutta D

Shimano is always on the edge. They improve their reels to be better than the last one so people can be assured that the latest reels that come out of Shimano also have the latest technology behind it. Shimano has finally revealed their new Calcutta D. The new Calcutta has the brand new look as well as functionalities that are designed to change the performance of the reel. The Shimano Calcutta B and TE series became famous in the freshwater and seawater angler communities. These anglers prefer a the old but reliable round reel layout. The new Calcutta D has revolutionized the two previous reels with their new features and wonderful design.

The Shimano Calcutta series is a very popular round reel on the market. They give the angler a mix of performance, smoothness and value. The reel is also able to take in the harsh environment of the saltwater fishing. Many people thought that the Calcutta series was for saltwater fishing but it started out as a freshwater bass reel back in the 90’s. after a few years they started to release bigger sizes. Because of their huge line capacity and very strong drag the reels where also popular on the big bait anglers that toss those full sized swimbaits for bass or the plugs for bigger freshwater fishes like the Muskies. Upcoming Shimano reels are trying to combined the functionalities of the old reel and enhance them, maybe giving them new functions which will make them different from the rest. The Shimano reels are also known to have a reliable VBS cast system.

By appearance the new Calcutta D has somewhat changed from its predecessor. The gold finish is now changed to a silver finish. The aluminum reel is also coated with the Shimano’s E.I surface treatment which prevents the reel to rust or deteriorate. The frame has also changed. It is not anymore symmetrical. The non-handle is smaller than that of the gearbox handle side. All of the changes done in the new reels is all part of the S-Compact body design which gives the reel a smaller form but stronger functionalities. Being small it is also lighter and much more handy to use.

Daiwa Zillion Type R

Many people say that the Type R of the Zillion series made by Daiwa in the most sophisticated Zillion there is. This reel has made some fine tuning of its predecessors and the performance of the reel is off the charts. This reel could easily be a replacement for any kind of reel you have in your arsenal.

The Zillion series of Daiwa has risen up to become their best reel series yet. Through the years many anglers have tried the reel and they are satisfied. Although there are many reels in the company’s lineup that are a lot more cheaper but none of them can compare to the zillion when it comes to performance, refinement and value for money. This reel is used by casual anglers and pro anglers alike. The aluminum bodied zillion is the ideal reel for everyday use because of its complete and balance functions which can capture quite a range of freshwater fish.

Daiwa expanded their lineup by introducing the zillion coastal 7.3. with this introduction reel experts believed that there would not be another zillion that would be as good as the coastal 7.3 but they were made wrong. Before introducing the Zillion type R Daiwa told its fans that they will have new reel which will have black finish. When anglers heard of this they believed that it would be another reel that is using the zaion design of the company. When Daiwa finally revealed the zillion type –R, angles where shocked to see the beautiful new reel and it immediately went sold out on any fishing reel stores.

They only released a limited amount of the zillion type – R as some sort of teaser. For the many fans that did not get the new reel they waited until Daiwa finally fully released the Zillion type-R. Of course being a new product there will always be doubts about its abilities. There were speculations that the new reel is just about the fancy outer design and it still is not quite as good as people would like them to be.

First you would notice is that the handle on Type-R is different from all other Zillions. What amazes many anglers is about the true carbon fiber construction. The carbon fiber is sandwiched on the alloy making it stronger and lighter. The black finish is the one the really separates the reel from the rest of the series. It has a very good looking sporty look that will make any Daiwa fan drool. The functionalities of the Daiwa Zillion type –R is also great. Very smooth and very strong. When the anglers tried the new zillion they are fascinated about it. The new reel is absolutely stunning.
