Hagane Gear<br />
With amazing strength and durability, the HAGANE<br />
Gear is at the very heart of the reel. Shimano,<br />
through the application of state-of-the-art technologies,<br />
gives you the long-lasting smoothness<br />
and pleasure that you feel when you first use a<br />
reel, over and over again. No cutting work is applied<br />
to the teeth of the drive gear. Instead the<br />
entire surface is calculated in minute detail by<br />
special 3D design and then formed by Shimano’s<br />
cold forging technology. <strong>The</strong> result is assured resilience.<br />
It’s the fruit of Shimano’s inexhaustible<br />
pursuit for durability; the strength and power of<br />
forged metal continues to represent the fundamental<br />
concept of Shimano reels.<br />
X-Ship<br />
X-Ship provides improved gear durability. By supporting<br />
the pinion gear on both ends with bearings,<br />
the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with<br />
the drive gear. This means the gears will stay in<br />
the same position under the heaviest loads. <strong>The</strong><br />
added benefit is that friction between the spool<br />
shaft and gear are eliminated. This will enhance<br />
the casting performance of the reel with lighter<br />
lures, and allow for longer casts.
