Technology Features of Shimano 2023 Metanium 100XG
HAGANE
“HAGANE” is more than just a material name; it’s a design philosophy centered around creating reels that offer unmatched longevity and smoothness. The term "HAGANE" itself, which means "steel" in Japanese, symbolizes strength and resilience. However, in Shimano's context, it transcends traditional interpretations, representing a suite of advanced technologies aimed at enhancing performance and durability. In other words, when they say "HAGANE", they do not actually mean that HAGANE(= steel) is used. “HAGANE” promises robustness that can be used with peace of mind even in the harshest of conditions, an unchanging, exquisite winding feel, and winding power that exceeds the imagination."HAGANE Gear" or "HAGANE Body" is Shimano's engineering concept and philosophy.
MICRO MODULE GEAR
The gear teeth surfaces in the MICRO MODULE GEAR are finer and mesh more closely together than traditional gears, resulting in minimal power loss and a smooth, powerful winding experience. Additionally, the increased number of meshing teeth provides greater strength compared to conventional gears. This unique Shimano gear system achieves a balance of smoothness and durability.
X-SHIP
X-SHIP features an enlarged drive gear, optimal positioning of the pinion and drive gears, and two-point support for the pinion gear with bearings. This robust gear engagement maintains smooth and efficient reeling even under heavy loads.
MGL SPOOL III
The third-generation Magnumlite Spool, MGL SPOOL III, represents a significant evolution from its predecessors. This spool has been further thinned to reduce inertia by 15% compared to MGL SPOOL II, without compromising durability. It offers enhanced long-casting performance, a swift and smooth start, and reduced trouble during casts. The spool's design allows for low-trajectory casts into tight spots with ease.
CORESOLID BODY
This body structure integrates the level wind protector and side plate, typically separate from the frame, into a single metal piece. This design provides high rigidity, a compact size for better palming, and resistance to deformation under heavy loads. The CORESOLID BODY ensures stable retrieval and reliability during powerful fights with big fish.
SILENT TUNE
In baitcasting reels, high spool rotation can cause vibrations and noise. SILENT TUNE reduces these by applying light pressure to the spool bearings with springs, improving the reel's quietness during casts and enhancing spool rotation startup.
SVS INFINITY
The SVS (Shimano Variable Brake System) INFINITY is a centrifugal brake system that provides both excellent casting accuracy and long-distance performance. Known for its quick startup and smooth, extended casting, it allows anglers to target even the furthest points with precision. The SVS INFINITY offers a wide range of brake adjustments, easily managed with only an external dial (when all four internal brake shoes are activated). For even finer adjustments, the internal brake shoes can be tuned.
S3D SPOOL
The S3D SPOOL features an entirely redesigned cutting method, significantly enhancing the spool's precision. As a result, this design improves the smoothness and reduces vibrations during casting, leading to a quieter and more stable performance.
SA-RB
A-RB bearings feature a special anti-corrosion treatment that significantly improves their rust resistance. The SA-RB takes this further by sealing the sides with anti-corrosion materials, greatly reducing salt crystallization and salt damage inside the bearing.
SUPER FREE SPOOL
SUPER FREE SPOOL is a system where the spool shaft is supported by only two bearings when the reel's clutch is disengaged. This design minimizes spool wobble and eliminates rotational resistance, allowing for exceptionally smooth and light spool free performance.
