X-SHIP, precision gearing system enables smooth yet strong reeling.

The X-SHIP system enables smooth reeling even under heavy loads. Shimano’s unique mechanism for robust gear engage- ment uses an enlarged drive gear, optimum positioning of the pinion and drive gears, and two-point support of the pin- ion gear whose ends are supported by bearings. This is shown to be proven even when you are fighting very large fish, and the X-SHIP system efficiently transmits the input power, en- abling powerful reeling.
