Product Technologies
Hagane Gear

Cold-forged without traditional machining, Hagane Gear delivers strength, smoothness and long-term durability that outperforms die-cast alternatives—especially under heavy drag pressure.

ARC Spool

The angled spool lip reduces friction and produces longer, more accurate casts while reducing wind knots when fishing braid.

CoreProtect

A multi-layer water-resistant system that protects key entry points without creating a heavy winding feel.

G Free Body

By shifting internal components upward, the reel feels lighter in hand, improving control and reducing fatigue throughout long sessions.

X-Ship

Precise alignment of internal gears boosts power transfer, enhances cranking efficiency and stabilises the pinion under load.

SilentDrive

Eliminates tiny tolerances that cause noise, vibration and handle play, achieving smoother performance normally reserved for high-end Shimano reels.
