Shimano Aldebaran BFS Baitcasting Reel - Right Hand

Product Features

• Internal and External Brake Adjustments
• 80mm Handle
• 6 Gram MGL III Spool
• One Touch Removable Sideplate
• Saltwater Safe
• Hagane Body: A reel body with high rigidity, which virtually eliminates body flexing due to it's stiffness and impact resistance. The result? An angler's actions are more efficiently transformed into cranking power. It's efficiency through strength.
• Micro Module Gear: State-of-the-art gear design makes use of smaller gear teeth and more of them, which results in a more efficient gear train and much smoother retrieve.
• X-Ship:By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear remains in precise alignment with the drive gear and stays in the same position under even the heaviest of loads. This eliminates friction between the spool shaft and gear which translates to better casting performance and increased gear durability.
• MGL III Spool: Further thinning the spool to decrease inertia, without sacrificing durability
• Silent Tune: By applying slight pressure to the bearing supporting the spool, Silent Tune reduces spool vibration during the cast which results in quieter casting and smoother spool rotation with less play.
• FTB (Finesse Tune Breaking System): Eliminating the traditional braking method of applying components to the spool itself and instead moving them to the reels sideplate. With a lighter spool, startup inertia was decreased, allowing for even lighter lures to be used.
• CI4+: An enhanced version of the original CI4 material, this highly technical carbon material is 2.5 times stiffer than the original and is used to create weight savings on the reel.
• Exciting Drag Sound: Produces an audible drag sound to provide the angler with better feedback when a fish makes a run.
• S3D Spool: S3D Technology utilizes a balanced and uniform thin wall aluminum spool to significantly reduce spool vibration and increase smoothness when casting and retrieving.
• S A-RB Bearings: These bearings undergo the same anti-corrosion process as Shimano's A-RB Bearings, with the addition of shields on both sides of the bearings to reduce the possibility of salt, dirt, or other foreign objects inhibiting the bearing's rotation.
• Super Free Spool: SFS was designed to eliminate friction on the spool shaft during the cast. The pinion gear is supported by a ball bearing, which keeps the gear in perfect alignment with the spool shaft to eliminate friction for longer casts and smoother operation.
