Welcome to the 2015 Shimano Catalogue...

INTRODUCTION

Welcome to the 2015 Shimano Catalogue.

As one of the world’s leading �shing tackle companies, Shimano is committed to designing, developing and delivering excellent products across all �shing disciplines. At all price levels, from the most technologically advanced, to starter level, you will �nd Shimano products that o�er outstanding value and performance.

This year sees many new products across all ranges.

With an enviable history of producing some of the world’s most iconic reels, the introduction of the Stella FI will come as no surprise. Stella is Shimano’s �agship reel and has been for many years. The Stella FI, with its new Micro Module gearing, has been a huge success and reinforces Shimano’s technological advantage.

Another new introduction is the Baitrunner X Aero range. This combines the very best features of Baitrunner reels with a larger spool. The result is increased casting distance and better �sh-playing performance, combined with the simplicity of the original rear lever Baitrunner ‘free spool’ facility. For carp and specimen anglers, the Baitrunner X Aero range provides optimum versatility, irrespective of the size of waters you �sh.

You will also notice that Shimano Front drag reels have now been placed in four distinct categories to help you choose the correct model for you �shing.

CoreSolid reels are strong, smooth and totally reliable. The Lightweight Series make best use of Shimano’s CI4+ material and deliver weight savings of up to 25%. Aero Dynamics combines a larger Aero spool with a more compact body and P4 continues to o�er great value Shimano reels at a lower price point.

At EFTTEX 2014, the new Rarenium CI4+ FD was voted best new �xed spool reel at the show. For anglers wanting an ultra light reel, combined with uncompromising performance, this new model is not to be missed.

For salt water game anglers, the new Spheros SW o�ers a range of features also found on the market leading Stella SW, at a remarkably low price.

The Shimano rod range has also seen some exciting additions. The new top-of-the-range Lesath CX spinning rod is the best Shimano has ever made and was rightly awarded the title of best new rod at the EFTTEX 2014 show. To prove that Shimano is not just about the most advanced products the hugely popular Yasei Red spinning range has had a

makeover. Many of the new models now have Fuji guides, making them even better value for money for predator anglers across Europe. In keeping with the latest trends, there have also been two new additions in the EVA handled spinning range - the Sustain and the Aernos. Both of these models have graphics which match the reels of the same name.

For salt water anglers there have been some big changes.

The introduction of the Blue Romance range, which consists of nine di�erent ‘method speci�c’ models (with STC versions also available), covers a huge variety of salt water �shing methods, from big game to light lure methods. The stunning blue blanks and silver graphics also make Blue Romance one of the visually attractive ranges Shimano has ever made.

For anglers �shing for the world’s hardest �ghting Pelagic species, there are two new Ocea rods that, when combined with Shimano SW reels o�er the complete package of performance and reliability.

Shimano is known worldwide for its high quality bike and �shing products but from June 2014 on we globally launched a totally new product; the Action camera!

The Shimano CM-1000 Sport Camera is unique and an absolute great tool for any angler and cyclist (extensively tested and used during the Tour de France).

The camera is the smallest in his kind (size of a matchbox), ultra-lightweight and waterproof up to 10 meters straight out of the box! From now on you’ll never leave without the Shimano Sport Camera! In the catalogue you �nd all details about the camera.

You will notice in this catalogue that we have included more Shimano Pro Sta� images and also �shing related editorial. This is to make the catalogue a more complete experience and is in line with the Shimano Human to Human ethos. To reinforce this even further, you will �nd at the back of this catalogue a fantastic competition that is open to all Shimano Catalogue owners throughout Europe.

Keep enjoying your �shing!

REEL TECHNOLOGY

SHIMANO HAVE A REPUTATION FOR ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE AND INNOVATION THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. BELOW IS AN OVERVIEW OF THE MOST IMPORTANT SHIMANO REEL FEATURES. MANY FEATURES, ORIGINALLY ONLY ON THE MOST TECHNICAL REELS, ARE NOW WIDELY AVAILABLE. THESE FEATURES INCLUDE X-SHIP, AERO WRAP II AND AR-C SPOOLS.

REEL TECHNOLOGY

X-Ship is a combination of features that work together to create much greater e�ciency. By positioning the pinion gear close to the centre line of the large diameter drive gear, more power is transferred from the handle to the rotor. The pinion gear is also supported by two Shimano A-RB roller bearings. This creates more stability.

Aero Wrap and the advanced Aero Wrap II is a worm gear oscillation system with a specially designed pitch to create optimal oscillation speeds. This provides superb uniform line lay to reduce loss of energy during the cast. Aero Wrap II is considered one of the best line lay systems in the world.

Varispeed and the latest version called VariSpeed II oscillation system moves with two variable speeds to lay the line �at and smooth onto the spool. This provides trouble-free, longer distant casts. Varispeed is found on budget and mid-priced Shimano reels.

Shimano Shielded A-RB bearings use a shield to prevent contamination. This protection reduces wear, improves e�ciency and deliverers super smooth performance.

Shimano S A-RB bearings are high corrosion resistant A-RB ball bearings with an extra shield for improved protection against sand, salt or dust. S A-RB bearings are used in salt water reels.

The precision engineered main Hypergear transmits more power from the handle to the rotor. Designed to exacting tolerances, it requires less e�ort but returns more retrieve playing torque with vastly reduced component wear.

HYPERGEAR

Easy Maintenance is a small oil lubrication port that enables direct lubrication of the inner workings of a reel with approved Shimano lubricant. Some high-end Shimano reels have a line roller lubrication option.

CI4 is an exclusive material created by the inter-fusion of carbon and polyamide. It is almost as strong as metal with the lightness of a composite. CI4 is used for the body and rotor on many Shimano reels.

CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4. This highly technical material is 2.5 times sti�er than CI4 and is used on many high-end Shimano reels to increase weight savings. Use of CI4+ for the body and rotor also delivers remarkable sti�ness for better reel e�ciency.

GEARING AND BEARINGS MATERIALS

Dyna-Balance reduces wobble during the retrieve by counter balancing the rotor to enhance sensitivity and smoothness. By using computer balancing Shimano are able to redistribute the rotor weight to create eliminate vibrations.

ALUMINIUMShimano uses aluminium in many di�erent forms.

Diecast aluminium is used for many types of reel and is most common on �xed spool reel bodies and rotors.

Cold Forged aluminium is used for some ‘round’ reels, �y reels and is also used for many types of spool. Made from one single piece of aluminium Cold Forging produces great strength.

Machined aluminum is used for the very best multiplier reels where precision, strength and lightness are very important.

Hybrid bodies are produced from a combination of aluminium and XT7.

MAGNESIUMShimano use magnesium for a select number of ultra high quality reels where weight saving is essential. The use of magnesium o�ers a weight saving of up to 10% compared with aluminium.

XGT-7XGT-7 is an improved version of the tried and trusted Shimano XT-7 composite material. Used on some of the newest mid-priced reels XGT-7 is lightweight and sti�.

XT-7XT-7 is the original Shimano composite reel material. Used on mid-priced and budget reels and spools XT-7 is reliable, robust and lightweight.

LINE LAY AND LINE MANAGEMENT

AerowaveAerowave is used on some Shimano saltwater spinning reels. This oscillation system is simple in nature, yet produces excellent line lay with both braid and mono.

The special grooved design of the Shimano Power Roller signi�cantly reduces line twist and is a big advantage when using thin mono and braid.

Shimano AR-C Spool is a patented spool design with an angled spool lip. This design enables the line to leave the spool with less friction and in smaller coils resulting in longer more accurate casts. AR-C spools are proven to reduce backlash and wind knots when using braid. AR-C spools are now standard on almost all Shimano reels.

OscillationOne speed Oscillation -the spool moves at a consistent speed. Two speed Oscillation - the spool moves at two di�erent speeds. Slow Oscillation - the spool moves slowly allowing more line wraps per cycle. Super Slow Oscillation - the spool moves very slowly forming almost parallel wraps of line.

F MODERN ZANDER FISHINGZander are one of the most popular predator species and are catchable with a lot of di�erent techniques. Shimano work together with their Pro Sta� to design rods for speci�c methods and di�erent styles of �shing, to ensure you get the most from your �shing. One of the more recent developments has been the increasing use of lighter weight rods for zander �shing.

To get the most from lightweight jigging and shad rods a lightweight reel is very important as it improves the balance of the complete set-up. The Lightweight Series reels are perfect for ‘�nesse’ type situations. The combination of less weight (up to 25% less!) and the easy rotation of the Magnumlite rotor combines to produce a set-up that enables you to �sh better for longer and with much less fatigue.

The classy new Rarenium CI4+ has a body frame built from Shimano’s exclusive CI4+ composite. This reduces the weight dramatically compared to metal bodied reels, yet still retains the strength and sti�ness required to ensure the internal gears retain their integrity when under pressure. The inclusion of a Magnumlite CI4+ rotor not only reduces weight further, it produces an ultra light rotation which improves the winding sensitivity, making the Rarenium CI4+ a superb lure �shing reel.

All models combine Shimano’s exclusive X-Ship gearing with 6 Shielded A-RB bearings. This produces ultra smooth performance combined with maximum winding e�ciency. The relatively slow 5.0:1 and 5.2:1 gear ratio delivers excellent torque for anglers �shing for larger species.

Available in four sizes from the smallest 1000 size for �nesse �shing with lightweight lures, to the largest 4000 model for heavier lure and feeder �shing or lightweight specimen �shing, the 3000 model has a shallow spool suitable for use with lightweight mono for �oat �shing or braid when predator or medium range feeder �shing.

Part of the Shimano Lightweight Concept, the new Rarenium CI4+ combines ultra light weight feel with powerful winding performance making it one of the most versatile reels in the Shimano front drag range.

...Ultra light in weight, but big on performance, the AR-C Aero CI4+ delivers amazing performance.

AERO DYNAMICS

The AR-C Aero follows on from the success of the Aero introduction. Available in a versatile 4000 size, in both standard (4.8:1) and high speed (6.2:1) options, the AR-C Aero is made from technically advanced CI4+ composite for a huge weight reduction – just 255g. The combination of X-ship gearing and 6 Shielded A-RB bearings plus a roller bearing ensure maximum power and smooth performance. For easy accurate casting the Aero uses Aerowrap II line lay and an AR-C spool.

The new Aero CI4+ �ts perfectly into the existing Aero range. With a lightweight CI4+ body and rotor, the Aero CI4+ weighs only 280g making it noticeably lighter than the original Aero models whilst still retaining the oversized AR-C spool. X-Ship gearing and 5 Shielded A-RB bearings transfer power from the single machined aluminium handle to the rotor with maximum e�ciency for increased cranking power.

The oversized AR-C spool combined with Aero Wrap II line lay results in smoother, longer and more accurate casts and like all Aero models the large diameter spool enables the waterproof front drag to work more e�ectively when under pressure.

The Aero CI4+ comes in two retrieve speeds; the standard model has a powerful 4.8:1 ratio that is perfect for playing hard �ghting �sh, whilst the HG (high gear) model has a quick 5.8:1 ratio that retrieves over 1 metre of line per handle turn making it more suited to distance �shing. Both models come with a Match and Shallow spool reducer which reduces the line capacity.

AERO CI4+ REELSAero CI4+ reels combine two of Shimano’s most recent and exclusive concepts - Aero Dynamics and lightweight CI4+ carbon construction.

Aero reels feature an oversized, wide diameter spool with a small compact body design. The larger spool improves casting performance and also produces a smoother ‘low-inertia’ drag performance. The lightweight CI4+ body construction saves a considerable amount of weight.

The result of this combination is that Aero CI4+ reels are approximately 20% lighter than similar sized reels, which results in better rod balance and improved �shing performance.

Both Aero CI4+ models also feature the very best Shimano gearing technology (X-Ship) and are available in two speed options to suit your preference.

SPEED MACHINESOne of the species in Europe that is getting more and more popular is the Asp. Coming from the east of Europe, and spreading fast, it can be likened to a fresh water tarpon. Asp is a predator that can attack a lure within a split of a second. The bites are very aggressive and they are best �shed for with soft plastics and crankbaits from 7g up to 50g. Fishing for Asp means hard work and involves a mobile approach with a lot of casting. But when you get a bite you will be addicted for the rest of your life!

The eyes of the Asp have fast moving cells. This means that the lure must always have a high speed during the retrieve. The perfect reels for Asp are the hi-speed Aero CI4+ models. These reels cast superbly and retrieve over 1 metre of line per handle turn. They are also lightweight for reduced fatigue when making lots of casts.

When it comes to predator �shing, the ultra fast Asp is formula one �shing!

Along with a prestigious line up of top Shimano features, the Aero Feeder comes with two di�erent sized line reducers enabling spool capacity to be changed to suit personal preference.

For anglers who prefer a double handle for feeder �shing an additional handle can be purchased from your Shimano dealer.

...Aero FA 2500 is the smallest Aero Dynamics reel making it perfect for lightweight rods when optimum casting performance is still required.

The new smaller sized Aero 2500 FA is ideal for anglers wanting the bene�ts of the Aero concept in a smaller, lighter package. Perfect for many styles of �shing, the new 2500 sized Aero balances lighter and shorter rods more e�ectively than larger reels. This makes it the ideal solution for commercial match and feeder rods, which are shorter than standard rods.

The oversized AR-C spool, combined with Aero Wrap II line lay results in smoother more accurate casts, especially with heavier mono, and the large diameter of the spool works more e�ciently with the front drag, especially at light settings.

The Aero 2500 comes in two retrieve speeds; the standard model has a powerful 5.0:1 ratio that is perfect for playing hard �ghting �sh, whilst the HG (high gear) model has a quick 6.0:1 ratio that retrieves almost 1 metre of line per handle turn making it more suited to �oat �shing. Both models come with two spool reducers.

FIGHTIN’ DRAG

FIGHTIN’ DRAGThe Fightin’ Drag allows you to quickly adjust the drag tension, with a minimal amount of clicks during the �ght. This is especially important when the drag has not been set correctly and line is nearing the breaking point, or you need to put more pressure on the �sh.

One of the most reliable ways to set the drag of a reel with Fightin’ Drag is to set the Fightin’ Drag leaver to its maximum setting, and then adjust the rear drag to the breaking strength of the line. Then move the Fightin’ Drag leaver back to its central position. Now you can be sure that even when the Fightin’ Drag is applied to the maximum setting the line will not break.

Another advantage is that by moving the Fightin’ Drag leaver to its minimum setting it can produce a semi free spool to prevent breakages on the take.

BAITRUNNER XAERO THE EVOLUTION CONTINUESFor over 25 years Shimano Baitrunner has dominated the free-spool reel market. Since their launch in the 1980s, Baitrunner reels have been continuously improved and developed. For 2015 the Baitrunner evolution take a giant leap forward with the launch of the new Baitrunner X-Aero models. These new reels combine the traditional simplicity of the rear Baitrunner free-spool leaver, with a much larger ‘Aero Concept’ spool.

The result of this evolution is noticeably better casting performance, nearly matching that of some Big Pit type models and even better �sh-playing drag performance. Baitrunner X-Aero reels are available in both large sized rear drag and smaller front drag versions.

XAERO RAThe new Baitrunner X-Aero combines the bene�ts and convenience of a traditional Baitrunner reel with the casting performance rivalling that of a compact Big Pit reel. This outstanding casting performance is achieved by the use of an oversized Aero Concept spool which is noticeably larger in diameter than a normal sized spool. The Baitrunner X-Aero also uses Aero Wrap II (Shimano’s top line lay system) and 2-speed oscillation for almost perfect spool line management. Another advantage of the large diameter spool is that one turn of the handle retrieves nearly 1 metre of line making retrieving from distance faster.

To satisfy modern anglers thinking, both the 8000 and 10000 sized reels now have a single handle which generates more winding power than the double handle which is still �tted to the smaller 6000 model. The hybrid body of the Baitrunner X-Aero has a black satin �nish and the line clip on the XGT-7 rotor is line friendly to prevent line damage.

For more than 20 years the Shimano Baitrunner reel has been the most popular specimen reel available, trusted by millions of anglers throughout Europe.

For anglers wanting reliable Shimano Baitrunner technology on a small budget, the new Baitrunner ST-RB is the natural choice. Understated graphics, in keeping with the latest trends in carp �shing, a traditional easy-to-use rear Baitrunner system, balanced double handle, aluminium AR-C spool and Varispeed line lay all combine to produce an a�ordable reel with lots of credibility.

The 6000 size makes a great specimen and specialist �shing reel suitable for medium sized carp, barbel, tench and predator bait �shing for pike and zander, whilst the larger 10000 size is more suitable for larger �sh from both large and small waters alike.

Both reels have a powerful 4.6:1 gear ratio which delivers plenty of power when playing large �sh.

With its midnight blue body and gun metal grey Cold Forged Aluminium main spool, the Baitrunner DL comes with a spare XT7 graphite spool as standard. Both have prodigious line capacities – 430 yards of 12lb on the 10000 and 300 yards of 10lb on the 6000 – and are powered by a Diecast Drive Gear backed by 3 Shielded Stainless Steel bearings plus a roller bearing for assured performance. Other features include Super Stopper II, Dyna-Balance, Floating Shaft II and a Power Roller to minimise line twist. The 6000 size is a favourite of specialist anglers �shing for barbel, tench, chub and bream whilst the 10000 size suits carp anglers �shing both large and small waters. The Baitrunner DL o�ers an excellent quality to cost ratio for carp and specialist anglers looking for a mid-priced Baitrunner.

The new Baitrunner X Aero FA is one of the most advanced small reels available and combines the bene�ts and convenience of a traditional Mini Baitrunner reel, with additional casting performance delivered by the new Aero Concept spool design which is larger than previous spools.

Available in both 2500 and 4000 sizes, the Baitrunner X Aero FA makes a superb feeder reel when �shing for small and medium carp, alternatively it can also be used for many specialist situations and even as a small predator reel where the freespool facility really comes into its own.

The larger Aero Concept spool not only improves casting performance it also improves the drag function as the larger diameter spool requires less pressure to work e�ectively. The result is a low inertia start and increased �sh-playing smoothness.

This new top-of-the-range Mini Baitrunner features Shimano’s best Shielded A-RB bearings for increased smoothness and e�cient power transfer from the double handle to the rotor making playing of powerful �sh easier, even when using the smallest 2500 size.

Following on from the huge success of the Mini Baitrunner Series over the last few years, the new Baitrunner X Aero FA sets new standards in compact freespool reel design.

MINI BAITRUNNER REEL...SMALL IN SIZE, BIG IN VERSATILITYMini Baitrunner reels have become a �rm favourite of feeder and specialist anglers over the last few years. The small 2500 and 4000 sizes match perfectly to almost all feeder rods and also lighter specimen and barbel rods.

For many anglers �shing Commercial venues for small and medium sized carp, the Mini Baitrunner reels are the �rst choice reel because of the Baitrunner free-spool facility.

When engaged it is almost impossible to get your line broken when a �sh takes the bait. This is especially important when Method feeder or bolt rig �shing which often results in savage bites.

For specialist anglers �shing for powerful species like barbel and tench the same applies. Bolt rigs can be safely used, even at close range, which can be a big problem when using a normal type reel.

For predator anglers �shing with deadbaits, the Baitrunner free-spool lets the �sh pick up the bait and run for a few metres without resistance. The result is more successful hooking and less dropped runs.

Mini Baitrunner reels may be small in size but they are perfect performers for many types of �shing.

Since their introduction, the small sized Baitrunner DL FA reels, available in 2500 and 4000 size have opened up a whole host of freespool �shing applications never catered for by Shimano in the past. As comfortable when deadbaiting for pike or zander as they are feeder �shing for barbel or tench, these small sized freespool masters are built using the �nest components and world renowned Shimano quality standards. Taking 200yds and 240yds of 6lb and 8lb line respectively, features include XT-7 body and rotor, Aluminium spool and XT-7 spare, plus Floating Shaft II.

Over the last years the DL version has started to become popular with match anglers for feeder �shing where the use of the freespool Baitrunner facility is a big advantage as it lets you pick up the rod and get it in position before engaging the drag.

Available in the same sizes as the DL, but with fewer ball bearings, the new Baitrunner ST-FB is the entry level small Baitrunner. Varispeed line lay, Super Stopper II plus XT-7 body and rotor are among the many advanced design features included in the ST’s construction.

The 2500 size is perfect for feeder and bomb �shing on small waters when �shing for carp or other hard �ghting �sh, whilst the 4000 size o�ers more versatility and power making it suitable for all general, pleasure and specialist �shing.

GOOD OSCILLATION IMPROVES DISTANCEThe Aero Wrap II worm shaft oscillation system sets Shimano apart from many of its competitors. By slowing down the oscillation speed of the spool as it moves up and down, line is wrapped onto the spool in a much smoother, more organized way.

The biggest bene�t of this is that during a long cast, line comes o� the spool much easier, which reduces friction. This reduction in friction combined with the AR-C spool, gives better performance in terms of distance and accuracy. Super Slow oscillation, with its staggering 100 rotor turns per oscillation, is unique in the �shing industry and shows the high skilled engineering and manufacturing capabilities of Shimano.

MAX DR AG KG Saltwater �shing can be extremely severe with waves surging over the gunwale and raging oceans attacking the reel. The internal structure of spinning reels, which overcomes such rough conditions, is by contrast an ultra precision machine.

Saltwater intrusion into the inside of a reel can cause serious performance problems. Therefore it is imperative to enhance water resistance without impairing the properties of spinning reels designed for saltwater �shing.

These double water resistant structures - X-SHIELD for body protection and X-PROTECT for rotor protection satisfy such requirements by resisting saltwater ingress into the working parts of the reel and are available on the latest Shimano models - Stella SW, Saragosa SW and Spheros SW.

THE ULTIMATE BIG GAME CHALLENGESaltwater big game �shing is the ultimate challenge for any reel.

The harsh SW environment can reduce the performance of a badly designed reel within hours and the pressure of hard �ghting pelagic

monsters can strip gears and burn out a drag in seconds. Shimano saltwater reels are designed to meet all of these challenges.

Excellent Shimano engineering and design ensures damaging salt water is kept from the important moving parts and the ultra high quality

gearing and drag design delivers the performance you would expect.

The Shimano SW range also covers a wide range of budgets. For the serious saltwater game angler the Stella SW needs no introduction, its reputation

is legendary. It is the �rst choice for those wanting the ultimate reel.

At the other end of the scale is the new Spheros SW, which contains many of the exclusive Shimano features found on more expensive

models. It is a great choice for the occasional saltwater game angler, or as a spare back-up reel for more serious angler.

Whichever Shimano SW reel you choose, you can be sure that you have a totally reliable partner to help you catch the

world’s fastest, most hard �shing �sh in the world.

SALTWATER REELS

The STELLA SW focuses on absolute power. To achieve it, toughness, cranking power, rigidity, water resistance and drag performances have all been upgraded.

The core technologies are X-Ship, which enhances power transmission e�ciency through the gear, plus Power Aluminium Body, X-Rigid Rotor, X-Rigid Bail and X-Rigid Handle to improve rigidity and eliminate loss of power caused by �exing. Synergy generated by all these technologies combine to prevent loss of power input from the handle and create enormous cranking power. In order to support this power, extreme toughness from X-Rigid Gear is introduced at the heart of the reel’s body.

X-Tough Drag, with its dramatically enhanced heat resistance and toughness, anticipates the blazing speed of blue�n tuna and giant trevally. Drag performance has been made even smoother, further assuring its reliability. In addition to these epoch-making mechanisms, focus is also placed on water resistance, in order to maintain their initial performance and toughness. The dependable X-Shield system has been applied throughout, and X-Protect provided at the roller clutch assembly - a crucial area for water resistance.

REELSSHIMANO MULTIPLIERSShimano multipliers are the most comprehensive and reliable range available. My boat is a sport �shing and professional set up and we practice trolling, spinning and jigging with Shimano high quality equipment. For this kind of �shing, we need strong tackle so our customers, almost always new anglers, trust it and are comfortable.

When we take part in deep sea competitions, we need to move around easily when stand-up �shing, so we usually use TLD reels, which are lighter and more intuitive.

The electronic Dendou Maru is the perfect reel for deep sea �shing. For slow trolling techniques with depths of between 250 and 400m, where the physical �ght is not the most important thing, but where the �shing result is, it can always be guaranteed with Dendou Maru electronic reels.”

TIAGRA HANDLE OPTIONSThe handle on any large multiplier is an important feature. At Shimano we use two di�erent styles depending on the model you choose. TI12 and TI16 models feature Shimanos Ergonomic Power Handle (shown on product shot below), whilst larger models are kitted out with elastomere Crank Handles (above). Both are soft to the touch and o�er the maximum in both grip and comfort, whilst giving you the maximum torque when winding in that �sh of a lifetime.

The big game reel that became a worldwide market leader has too many features to explain in a catalogue! It’s the solid construction, in combination with easy to use features, that is loved by the most demanding big game �shermen. A one-piece machined aluminium frame, Cold forged aluminium spool, A-RB ball bearings, 2-speed gears, Twin Disk Drag system (on 16 size), elastomere grip and much more. This reel will play and tame the biggest �sh with poise. The Tiagra A reel will give you con�dence in your tackle, allowing you to concentrate on catching.

Based upon a narrow body principle which equals less weight, smaller dimensions and easier handling than equivalent lever drag multipliers, Talica is truly a high-speed dream machine. Equipped with a Diecast aluminium frame, Waterproof Drag, Shielded A-RB bearings, brass gears and an aluminium spool, choose from 8, 10, 12 or 16 or the new 20 and 25lb rated twin speed versions. Line capacities range from 200 yards of 20lb to 420 yards of 40lb. A full range of single speed models are also available.

XT CARBON

70 WWW.SHIMANO.COM

ROD DESIGN

Shimano High Pressure Carbon is a process which creates stronger, more responsive blanks. Pressure is applied to the blank surface during curing (heating) which evenly distributes the resin through the carbon �bre matrix. The result is a much stronger, more consistent performance and improved responsive.

Shimano Low Resin Carbon uses less resin to hold the carbon �bres together. This results in lighter more responsive blanks. Low Resin Carbon is usually used on lightweight rods where balance and action are very important.

XT Carbon is used throughout the Shimano rod range. The number following the XT (XT100), denotes the quality of carbon fibre used. The higher the number, the stronger the carbon. Where di�erent types of carbon are combined to create the required action both numbers will be shown (XT60/40).

ROD TECHNOLOGYShimano produce rods for almost all �shing styles and methods, covering a wide range of budgets. With a top-down design approach Shimano are constantly pushing the boundaries of innovation by using the latest materials, components and manufacturing techniques.

TECHNOLOGY

Adding Bio�bre reinforces the carbon �bres in all directions. This gives outstanding strength, shock resistance, lightness and power.

GeoFibre is a naturally derived component that provides rigidity and high tensile strength when added to rods in the lower to mid-price rod band.

Fuji are one of the leading rod component companies in the world and have a close working relationship with Shimano. Fuji guides are used extensively on Shimano rods. Fuji reel seats are also used on many high quality Shimano rods.

Power Cork is tactile, ergonomic and lightweight yet it does not absorb moisture and is more resistant to bacteria. Created from natural cork, with an exclusive Shimano treatment, it does not degrade or age cosmetically. Power Cork is washable and used on many Shimano rods.

Shimano use PAC BAY components on salt water and freshwater rods. High quality aluminium reel seats are used on the best Shimano boat rods and lightweight Pac Bay Minima guides are becoming popular on telescopic rods.

For high quality salt water rods, Shimano often select ALPS guides and reel seats. ALPS roller guides have a reputation for excellence which perfectly matches the expectations of Shimano.

Fossil Wood is used on some Shimano reel seats. Created by compressing organic raw materials into a carbon like state using over 1000 degrees of heat, the resultant material is much stronger than wood and each component is both unique and resistant to moisture.

The unique SDR construction process eliminates any spine forming during manufacture, meaning the blank action remains uniform, regardless of which way the rod is bent.

Fuji guides are used extensively throughout the rod range and have now been introduced onto more mid-priced models. The result is even better value and performance.

The Antares is built on a HPC200 blank with the addition of Bio�bre, resulting in a fast, progressive action. The addition of Steady Cast vastly improves casting performance and ensures that your bait can be placed accurately time and time again. Fuji Alconite K-type guides help to ensure smooth, tangle free casting. Rapid heat transfer of the Alconite guides will cope easily with all types of line, giving it a longer lifespan. The natural Power Cork handle ages much slower than standard handles, making sure that the Antares DX maintains its superb performance.

The original Catana Spinning range gets a total upgrade across all models with the introduction of Catana DX. Bene�ting from Vibra Spot reel seats and easy access hook keepers, the two-piece range built on XT30/40+Geo Fibre blanks runs from a 165 Ultra Light model through to 300 length versions in M, MH,H and XH ratings.

The use of Geo�bre in the Catana Tele Spin, combined with the progressive guide set-up, generates a superior casting performance and leaves the competition playing ‘catch-up’ in this price category. The Geo�bre material in the blank creates more sti�ness, maintains strength and provides an excellent �sh-playing action. A Vibra Spot reel seat adds further value to this a�ordable range.

The Dia�ash has been designed to provide a fast tip action, with a sensitive tip to pick up on the most delicate bites when using light lures. The short transport length and protective hard case makes this rod the ultimate tool for the traveling angler. The natural Power Cork grip absorbs a minimal amount of moisture and therefore ages slowly.

Built with the same material as our Catana spinning rods, with the progressive guide set-up, �shing becomes even more sensitive than before. Perfect for sensitive styles of �shing for small and medium sized �sh, the action of this model puts the fun back into �shing!

This is the perfect rod to �sh light lures and spinners. Using a similar setup in blank material, cosmetics and components as the normal spinning range, this range o�ers great quality at an a�ordable price. The extremely sensitive action can also be used for trout �shing with Trigger X and natural baits, where good bite indication is needed without alarming the �sh.

STREET FISHINGUltralight Spinning and Street�shing is new and cool. This kind of predator �shing is the most popular, active �shing style in Europe at the moment.

With minimal, lightweight gear such as the Shimano Dia�ash AX or the Yasei Spinning Perch you can catch species like perch and zander with light jigs or dropshot methods. With the lightweight Shimano Rarenium CI4+ 1000 or the Symetre 500, spooled with PowerPro 0.08mm, complete with a 0.20mm Aspire �uorocarbon leader you’re ready to go Street�shing!

SOFTBAIT RODS FOR PIKE AND PERCH To �sh softbaits correctly you need to create your own action on the lure. To do this you need a lightweight rod, with a fast or extra-fast tip action and the EVA handle spinning rods are the perfect choice.

The Japanese style blanks let you create lots of lure action and the sensitive tips detect the slightest of bites, they also cast extremely well letting you cover much more water than a more traditional spinning rod. When using larger jig heads and softbaits, the stronger models with a minimum casting weight of 15g will give you more control of the lure and also the �sh when you hook it. For perch, using smaller softbaits, the lighter models will guarantee more action and much more enjoyment.

This range is developed for the South Asian market to target barramundi and snakehead. These short rods are extremely strong and perfect for trolling for pike. The combination of a sti� powerful backbone and softer tip improves hook setting and during the �ght the action of the blank absorbs the head shaking of the �sh, eliminating hook pulls.

The XT60 carbon blank construction provides the perfect balance between strength and weight. We did not call this rod a Monster for nothing. Designed primarily for bottom �shing in both fresh and salt water, it can cope with just about all the abuse it is submitted to, from �sh and angler alike.

The Antares is built on a fast progressive action blank and the addition of Steady Cast makes sure that excellent casting performance and bait placement can be achieved. The short transport length is ideal for traveling anglers and the rigid hard case tube ensures total protection. The Fuji Alconite K-type guides give excellent line guidance and casting performance for both freshwater and saltwater conditions. The natural Power Cork grip hardly absorbs moisture and therefore ages much slower than standard cork.

TWIN TIP CONCEPTThe Beastmaster STC Twintip concept is a versatile, multi-sectioned range which combines easy transport lengths with a Twintip concept that e�ectively delivers two rods in one.

All models have three common sections (Handle, Butt and Middle) and separate special taper tips. The single fast taper tip �ts onto the middle section to produce a shorter more powerful rod, whilst the use of the slow taper tip (plus additional section) produces a longer and more responsive action.

The short transport length and protective tube makes transporting the Beastmaster CX STC easy and convienient. This model features an additional 30cm extension which enables you to change the length of your rod quickly. The special progressive action, which is also a feature of Shimano high-end spinning rods, provides more control when casting and �sh-playing.

With its light tip section �tted, the Beastmaster STC spinning rod measures 2.50m and is a pleasure to use with all small lures in the 7-21g class. With the fast taper tip �tted the 2.00m length has a ‘Medium heavy’ action designed for casting lures in the 14-40g class. Also, this shorter, sti�er tip con�guration is excellent for working various Jerk and Twitch baits e�ectively. With plenty of power in the lower sections the Beastmaster Twin Tip Spinning is the ultimate tool for the traveling freshwater lure angler.

GOING THE DISTANCEFishing at long range is often required to reach feeding carp on large waters and whilst good casting technique is important, so is using the correct tackle.

Most anglers know that a ‘Big Pit’ reel gives you more distance, but they often overlook the rod, which is actually the most important thing.

Most 3.5lb plus rods will cast a long way, but for ultimate performance the Shimano Tribal Intensity rods take some beating. These rods have been �ne tuned especially for distance casting and have special advanced tapers, combined with a powerful butt section, to create massive tip speed.

The result is faster lead speed during the cast which improves distance, irrespective of you casting ability.

Intensity models are available in 12’ (3.6m) and 13’ (3.9m) to suit your preference.

BARBEL

THE BARBEL REVOLUTIONMore and more anglers are discovering the excitement of barbel �shing. The wrenching bite, the powerful �ght and the sight of a magni�cent �sh in the net is great fun. In the UK many barbel rivers are quite small and light test curve rods will cope with almost anything you hook, but for larger rivers (especially in Europe), you need more power and strength.

Barbel rivers often vary in pace from slow to very fast. Always use a quivertip that is sti� enough to cope with the �ow, or �sh with the standard top section with no quivertip. Barbel bites are nearly always fast and strong and spotting a bite is rarely a problem. For slower rivers the Classic (CL) barbel rods are �ne, for larger more powerful rivers choose the Power (P) versions.

PRECISION AND LONG CAST ROD ACTIONSSpeedcast and Super Ultegra Feeder rods are available in two di�erent actions to suit the range you are �shing to.

For close to medium range feeder �shing up to 50 metres, the shorter Precision action models ensure your casts will land with pin-point accuracy.

For longer range �shing the Longcast action will send your feeder into the distance with ease, thanks to the extra power in the lower half of the rod and the increased length. Longcast rods also have large quivertip guides to reduce friction and prevent shock-leader knots from catching on the cast.

For even longer distance casting match the Longcast rods with either Aero reels (70m) or the compact size (5500) Ultegra ‘Big Pit’ reels (100m+).

STICKBAIT

STICKBAIT STC

Built to deliver maximum performance when heavy lure �shing for hard �ghting saltwater predatory �sh, these rods have a sensitive tip and are surprisingly light making them perfect for continual casting and retrieving. Whether �shing from the shore or a boat, with a Blue Romance Powergame rod in your hand you will be in control and �shing to maximum e�ciency.

A stick-bait rod has to have a soft tip so the rod doesn’t pull the streamlined stick-bait out of the water when long sweeps are used to get the lure swimming. The soft tip of the Blue Romance Stickbait is perfect for putting action into stickbaits and blends perfectly into the more powerful middle section of the rod which provides excellent �sh-playing control. The Blue Romance Stickbait rod is perfect for �shing Blue�sh, Leer�sh and various pelagic species.

This is the four piece version of our Stickbait rod, which not only takes up very little room when stored, but it is also exceptionally easy to transport due to it’s extremely short length when packed away.

PELAGIC OFFSHORE

FEROCIUS SOLID

STC PELAGIC OFFSHORE

Spinning for Blue�n tuna needs a compromise between a soft tip and brute force. Tuna often feed on very small prey (anchovies from 4 to 10cm in length) and do not attack large lures. You will often need to cast a lure less than 40g a long way, and then have enough power to �ght one of the strongest �sh in the ocean. The Pelagic O�shore rod has been designed speci�cally to solve this di�cult equation, a soft tip to cast a long way and a strong butt to �sh with 10kg of drag. This rod is also great for light Tropical �shing with a line rating up to 65lbs.

The Wild Romance Ferocious Solid has been designed to cast jerkbaits and stickbaits long distance and still animate them with great precision and sensitivity. It is also more than capable of working soft plastic lures e�ectively as well. During the development stages, everything was considered to provide the best performance and this was achieved using HPC300 carbon mixed with Bio�bre. This combination dramatically enhances the strength and also makes the rod much lighter. The addition of Steady Cast technology helps to cut-down on any unwelcome vibration when casting.

With baggage allowances for �ights getting more restrictive, there is huge demand for rods that take up very little room and neatly �t into a suitcase. This is where the Wild Romance STC Pelagic O�shore comes in. Its 4 piece construction and hard carry case makes it extremely easy to transport. Created using a HPC300 blank, enriched with Bio�bre, the Pelagic boasts great strength and has more than enough power to cast large hardbaits and jigs up to 100g great distances.

MODERN SEA BASS RODS Sea bass is one of the most popular predator species in the sea, but with high �shing pressure they are often di�cult to catch.

Shimano understands the needs of the �sherman for both strong and forgiving rods, which also retain the power to cast long distances and set the hook correctly.

Shimano rods are perfect for lure �shing from the shore and jigging from a boat. Power, sensitivity, and top quality components feature on both the Beastmaster Spinning Sea Bass and the Vengeance Sea Bass.

KAIBUTSU

The Ocea BB Blue�n spinning series is specially designed for targeting Blue�n tuna in the Mediterranean. The tip is softer than the heavy game models, which enables you to cast smaller lures and metal jigs at long distances to feeding �sh. The rubber gimbal cap and long front grip produces a comfortable solution for long hard battles with powerful �sh.

The Ocea BB Heavy Game spinning rod is designed to catch mid size tuna, GT’s and other pelagic o�shore species using lipless lures like poppers and pencil lures. This extreme series can cast lures up to 250g and is strong enough to land extremely hard �ghting �sh to over 50kg. The three piece construction makes it easy to transport all over the world. The reel seat and front grip position is well balanced and a good compromise between casting performance and �sh playing.

The ultra thin, strong and lightweight Tiagra Ultra A Standup is built from HPC 300 carbon that gives that extra great feel and action of the rod when playing �sh.

From 30-50lb the rod is �tted with ALPS RX double leg roller guides, whilst the lighter models have the single leg version. The twist control feature keeps the blank from twisting, allowing the line to run smoothly through the guides at all times.

The Tiagra XTR-B Stand Up has a HPC250 carbon blank mixed with Bio�bre for strength, which results in lighter and thinner blanks. The result is a more responsive rod in the Mediterranean �shing spirit. For the 30-50lbs and 50-80lbs rods Shimano guides are used. The Long models are equipped with ALPS roller guides. All models feature a Pac Bay aluminium reel seat. The stunning cosmetics give the Tiagra XTR-B a distinctive look.

The Speedcast Surf is a stunning looking rod that is built on a HPC200 carbon + Bio�bre blank combined with the �nest Fuji components, Fuji DPS reel seat and Fuji stainless steel Alconite guides. The Speedcast Surf is the ultimate weapon for every surf angler wanting smooth casting performance and distinctive looks.

The Beastmaster Surf has the recognizable black and yellow colors associated with the name but now has a much slimmer blank which o�ers better casting control. Available in 4.25m, 4.50m and 5.00m lengths, the XT60 carbon blank produces a superb casting action combined with an excellent bite registration.

The characteristics of low weight, crisp action and strength are typical for the Forcemaster surf rods. Geo�bre in combination with XT40 is the secret. Available in two lengths - 4.25m and 4.50m, the Forcemaster Surf represents excellent value for money.

CUSTOM SOLID TIP

SURF SENSITIVE

SENSITIVE SURF RODSAll Shimano Surfcasting rods are designed to achieve excellent casting distances with a softness in the tip for good bite detection. However, there are times when even more sensitivity is required and for these situations the Sensitive Surf range is the perfect choice.

Both models in the range have solid carbon tips, which have been designed for maximum bite detection. This makes them the perfect rods for competition �shermen, when detecting every bite is very important. The remarkable thing about the Sensitive Surf range is that they can still be used with leads in excess of 225g (8oz) with minimal loss of casting performance.

For anglers �shing for smaller �sh, in less current or when every bite really does matter, the Sensitive Surf range will catch you more �sh.

BEACH LEDGERING

BEACH LEDGERINGShimano’s Beach Ledgering rods are scaled down versions of our surf casting models, and are designed for �shing at closer range, using weights up to 120g. All Beach Ledgering models have interchangeable solid carbon tips, so you can select the correct strength for the �sh you are targeting, or the strength of the current.

In the Mediterranean, Beach Ledgering rods have become very popular and the sensitive tips magnify the bites from small species. On the Atlantic and North Sea beaches these rods are perfect for sea bass, mackerel and other �sh that feed close to the surf.

LUGGAGE TO MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONSShimano luggage have some of the most radical and ground-breaking designs ever seen in the angling industry. Just like our rods and reels, great care and attention has been paid to the needs of anglers. Within the ranges, innovative products have been created with speci�c aims to re�ect the aspirations of specialist and specimen anglers alike.

The Organised Compact Design system allows you to choose from numerous specialised accessory cases that �t, jigsaw-like into one of the many compatible carryalls, with the option to change them around for speci�c venues or the length of time that you plan to spend �shing.

Tough Power Stitching is widely used and involves double stitched seams which produce increased strength.

The Aero Quiver system is simply based around an adjustable strap that components can be clipped onto. This o�ers countless variations, giving the angler the option to take as little or much tackle as they wish. This includes ready made rods, nets, pods, shelters, mats, slings and many more . . .

The new Duralast zips can handle the most extreme abuse to ensure Shimano luggage lives up to the expectations of the most demanding anglers.
