Technology Features of Shimano 2020 Force Master 9000
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.
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.
