This innovative design supports the pinion gear with the spool shaft rather than supporting the pinion gear with a bearing on the spool side. Infinity Drive within low-profile and conventional reels also optimizes the support distance and pinion gear thickness to achieve high support rigidity so that anglers can actively wind under heavy loads without compromising gear strength.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHAGANE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHAGANE is a Shimano reel design concept created to withstand continual use and extreme abuse. HAGANE is an innovation with built-in toughness and durability that works alongside Shimano's precision engineering. HAGANE is for all anglers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoreSolid Body\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCoreSolid Body integrates the B-Side Plate, levelwind guard and frame into a solid one-piece construction. This delivers an unprecedented feeling of rigidity and sensitivity, and is the first design of this type in a low-profile baitcast reel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eS3D Spool\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eS3D technology leads to significantly reduced spool vibration. By designing and constructing a balanced and uniform thin-wall aluminum spool, S3D creates an incredibly smooth feeling when casting and retrieving lures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMGL Spool III\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMGL Spool III is the low inertia spool that designed with thin spool wall keeping the durability, This contribute to improve the casting performance, quick response, long distance, cast feeling and castabillity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eS A-RB Baitcasting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eS A-RB bearings are put through the same process as Shimano’s A-RB bearings but feature shields on both sides of the bearings. These shields reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting rotation of the bearing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCross Carbon Drag Baitcasting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Cross Carbon Drag material provides a wider range of drag settings compared to traditional drag materials.
