X-SHIP, precision gearing system enables smooth yet strong reeling.

The X-SHIP system enables smooth reeling even under heavy loads. Shimano’s unique mechanism for robust gear engage- ment uses an enlarged drive gear, optimum positioning of the pinion and drive gears, and two-point support of the pinion gear whose ends are supported by bearings. This is shown to be proven even when you are fighting very large fish, and the X-SHIP system efficiently transmits the input power, enabling powerful reeling.

The highly rigid HAGANE Body protects the gear’s rotation performance from heavy loads and shocks.

The HAGANE Body is made of highly rigid metals such as aluminum and magnesium. With its weight reduced to the limit, the HAGANE Body eliminates flex, warp, and distortion of the reel, allowing smooth reeling with little power loss. Furthermore, the highly rigid body protects the engagement of the HAGANE Gear and the Micro Module Gear System from shock, while maintaining smooth reeling. The metal body with refined functions shines with unquestionable beauty.
