Propulsion Line Management System

• The most obvious component of the Propulsion Line Management System is the new Propulsion Spool Lip design. Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations, Shimano’s new spool lip design provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design while also preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming.

Fightin Drag

• Shimano Fightin' Drag offers adjustable drag on the fly when reeling in fish. Utilizing an easy-to-adjust lever, the drag can be switched between a low drag setting before hooking the fish and quickly transitioned during the fight.
