  SHIMANO S-SYSTEM REEL TECHNOLOGY
 


Smooth, Silent, Strong

S-system represents the ultimate in reel technology and covers an impressive array of features that provide optimum performance and reliability.

 
 

SLOW OSCILLATION SYSTEM
On reels that incorporate this revolutionary feature, the oscillation system has been adjusted to a fraction of the speed of previous models. Line is laid onto the spool in a slow, even manner and the bedding in of line is minimised. The result is that less energy is lost as the line peels off the spool, which can make even greater casting distance and accuracy a reality.

 
 

S-GUARD
Specially designed guards are attached to the rotor and the body, which prevent the accumulation of water and also give added protection against accidental bumps and knocks.

 
 

S-DRAG
Features carbon washers for smooth even performance on the hardest of drag settings. Totally reliable and exceedingly durable for long-term heavy-duty use.

 
 

EASY ACCESS LUBRICATION PORT
This feature enables you to directly lubricate the inner workings of the reel without having to take it apart. A small oil lubrication port can be found on each of the S-System reels which, when removed, enables you to apply manufacturer approved lubricants to the inside mechanism. An easy and efficient way to keep your reel working at optimum performance.

 
 

S-ARM CAM
Slack line around the line roller is the basic cause of problems during the cast. A specially designed roller incorporates a protruding lower surface that helps prevent slack line snagging.

 
 

S-MASTER GEAR
Cold forged from A7075 Super Duraluminium (aircraft grade alloy) this key component has incredible strength but with a massive weight reduction.

 
 

S-SPOOL
S-System spools are cold forged from aluminium alloy. The cold forging process creates a lightweight spool with increased structural strength. The addition of a spool ring, made from titanium-coated Zirconia, which is ten times harder than stainless steel, gives the lip added resistance to abrasion and damage.
