Technology Features of Shimano 2020 Barchetta F Custom 150 RIGHT
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.
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.
X-PROTECT
X-PROTECT provides robust protection against water ingress into the reel by combining a labyrinth-structured waterproof wall with special water-repellent grease. In small to medium-sized spinning reels, which require lighter rotation, a non-contact structure is emphasized to maintain rotational lightness. This high waterproof performance is achieved by combining traditional water-repellent treatments with a labyrinth structure that prevents water penetration without direct contact. This technology is applied to areas such as the stopper bearing and line roller.
For larger spinning reels that require higher waterproof performance, a contact-type waterproof structure is used. Low-friction seal materials physically block seawater entry paths, achieving high waterproof performance while minimizing rotational resistance. This contact-type waterproofing is applied to the stopper bearing and line roller, with the stopper bearing achieving an IPX8 waterproof rating.
FALLEVER
FALLEVER is a newly designed lever that allows for easy and precise control of fall speed, which was previously difficult to manage. By moving the lever forward or backward, you can adjust the mechanical brake to either increase or decrease the fall speed. This enables more strategic fishing, such as allowing the lure to fall quickly in mid-water and slowly near the bottom. Additionally, during casting, the brake can be applied to prevent backlash, and then smoothly released for a free fall. FALLEVER also allows for seamless operation of casting and subsequent actions with a single lever.
CI4+
CI4+ is an advanced material used in Shimano reels. It is a reinforced carbon fiber composite that is lighter and stronger than conventional materials, providing increased rigidity and reducing weight, which enhances the overall performance and sensitivity of the reel.
EXCITING DRAG SOUND
EXCITING DRAG SOUND is a feature that produces a sound when the line is pulled out from the spool by a fish. Unlike traditional baitcasting reels, which typically do not emit a drag sound, this feature enhances the angler's experience by stimulating their senses, making the fight with the fish even more enjoyable.
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.
LED BACK LIGHT
The LED BACK LIGHT allows for easy viewing of the reel's LCD screen even at night. You can choose different lighting modes, such as lighting up only when the spool is rotating, lighting up for 5 seconds when a button is pressed, or staying on continuously. This feature is particularly useful for night fishing when it's important to accurately monitor the depth on the LCD screen counter.
