MUTEKI MOTOR+

The MUTEKI MOTOR+ is a brush motor that maintains high torque even at elevated heat, delivering powerful performance. Originally, the MUTEKI MOTOR already outperformed typical motors that use plastic magnets, but by replacing the neodymium magnets used in the original with special rare earth magnets, the MUTEKI MOTOR+ achieves even greater performance. The standout feature of this motor is its quick response time during operation, particularly advantageous in situations where swift action is required, such as quickly lifting a lure off the bottom after it hits the ground. While torque and power are impressive, the true essence of this motor lies in its speed, a quality that can't be fully captured by numbers alone.

TOUCH DRIVE

Traditional electric reels used lever or dial systems for speed control, but TOUCH DRIVE introduces Shimano's unique new feature: a see-saw pressure-sensitive switch that can be operated with just one thumb. With TOUCH DRIVE, you can adjust the speed in 31 increments by varying the pressure applied by your thumb, and it also allows you to change the speed by one level with each press. This innovation enables precise adjustments and provides an unprecedented level of control.

SPEED CLUTCH

Easily switch the clutch ON/OFF with a simple press of the clutch lever. Since clutch operation can be performed while thumb-suppressing the spool, it prevents annoying backlash. Moreover, this allows for quick clutch switching while keeping the spool pressed, ensuring that you don't miss your intended depth.

S COMPACT BODY

Not only does the reel itself feature a compact design, but the power cable connector has also been repositioned to the handle side, opposite from previous models. This body design allows for a firm grip on the reel, enhancing palming performance and ensuring comfortable operation.

FIRE MACH SYSTEM

To smoothly reverse the large-diameter spool, multiple SA-RB (Ball Bearings) are strategically placed along the main rotation axis. This design ensures high-speed drop performance with minimal resistance, comparable to the Super Free Spool used in smaller electric reels. It’s ideal for fishing with light rigs or when quick deployment to the target depth is crucial.

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.

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.

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.
