LOW PROFILE

Delivering Ultimate Long Distance Casting Performance

The ‘flagship’ in Shimano’s low-profile baitcasting reel line-up, the Antares reels - offered in two gear ratios for multiple freshwater fishing techniques – features the ultimate in long distance casting performance. With Shimano’s innovative Micro Module Gear System, plus a lightweight Magnesium frame, it’s built to be fished hard.

• Micro Module Gear System • SVS Infinity Brake System (Infinite Cast Control) • X-Ship for great gear durability

Micro Module Gear The Micro Module Gear System creates a smooth retrieve. The new gear set makes use of smaller teeth and more of them. This means that there are more contact points between the drive gear and pinion gear. The result is a more efficient gear train with less gear “feel”.

SVS Infinity Shimano’s newest innovation in brake system technology, SVS∞ provides easy-to-manage, consistent spool control and brake force. With brake weights that use ‘inner friction’ against the raceway during the cast, SVS∞ controls spool speed for precision casting especially when using lighter lures. The external adjustment knob provides for quick, precise adjustments for either the conditions or when you switch baits.

X-Ship X-Ship provides improved gear durability. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This means the gears will stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. The added benefit is that friction between the spool shaft and gear are elimi- nated. This will enhance the casting performance of the reel with lighter lures, and allow for longer casts.
