Technology Features of Shimano 2020 Beast Master MD 3000
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.
GIGAMAX MOTOR
The GIGAMAX MOTOR is a brushless motor designed to deliver powerful performance even under elevated heat conditions, where traditional motors often experience reduced efficiency. Unlike conventional motors, it lacks brushes, which are typically carbon or copper components that wear out over time. This absence of brushes not only extends the motor's lifespan but also enhances its durability. Widely used in high-performance applications such as racing cars and bullet trains, the GIGAMAX MOTOR excels in power, speed, and durability, offering top-tier performance.
THERMO ADJUST DRAG
A control feature designed to prevent abnormal heat generation in the drag system, ensuring stable drag performance. When the motor of an electric reel is engaged and the drag slips, the gears may over-spin, causing excessive heat in the drag area. To mitigate this, the system automatically reduces the motor’s speed when drag slippage occurs.
e-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.The e-EXCITING DRAG SOUND is an electronic version of this.
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.
FINE DOT LCD
A dot matrix LCD that offers excellent visibility and ease of operation.
