ANTARES DC

An enchanting trajectory of lures flown through the air by our flagship low profile baitcast reel - the Antares.

Witness an enchanting trajectory of lures flown through the air by our flagship low profile baitcast reel - the Antares. A condensation of Shimano's latest technologies is the Antares DC, giving you the casting distance you need by incorporating the MGL Spool III onto a DC system (the first of its kind!). Coupled with the fine-tuned 4x8 DC brake system, a multiplier effect can be seen when it comes to casting far distances. The S3D spool and Silent Tune eliminates unnecessary vibrations. The Micromodule Gear II, X-Ship and extra bearing on the handle creates a buttery-smooth cranking machine in your hands.

FEATURES

Reduced handle rattle

By increasing the number of bearings in the handle bearing from one to two, rattling is greatly reduced. A smooth and precise winding feeling has been achieved.

Sea water compatible

The plating accuracy of the thumb rest area has been improved and the paint on the body area has been redone to allow use in saltwater.

HAGANE

HAGANE is a Shimano reel design concept created to withstand continual use and extreme abuse. HAGANE is an innovation with built-in toughness and durability that works alongside Shimano's precision engineering. HAGANE is for all anglers.


MICROMODULE_RL_BT
MICROMODULE

The MicroModule Gear technology creates a smooth retrieve by utilizing smaller teeth to increase the number of contact points between the drive gear and pinion gear.


XSHIP_RL_BT
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 increased support allows the gears to stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. X-Ship technology also eliminates the friction between the spool shaft and gear to further benefit anglers with enhanced casting performance and casting distance of lighter lures.


HAGANEBODY_RL_BT
HAGANE BODY

The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminate body flexing on the reel while fighting a fish. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power,


MGLSPOOL3_RL_BT
MGL SPOOLⅢ

MGL Spool III is the low inertia spool that desined with thin spool wall keeping the durability, This contribute to improve the casting performance, quick response, long distance, cast feeling and castabillity.


SILENTTUNE_RL_BT
SILENT TUNE

By applying slight pressure to the bearing holding the spool, SilentTune reduces the vibration of the bearing during high-speed rotation. This improves the quietness while casting and the rise of the spool rotation becomes even smoother.


4x8DC_RL_BT
4X8 DC

DC brake system perceives the changing spool speed and controls brake power with microcomputer, and provides the cast-performance of long distance and anti-backrash. 4X8 DC brake is the combination of 4 modes: FL (Fluoro), P (PE), N (Nylon), and X (Extreme Long Cast) with 8 dial adjustments to enable more precise settings.Higher precision brake control than previous 4×8DC.


CROSSCARBONDRAG_RL_BT
CROSS CARBON DRAG

The CROSS CARBON DRAG provides the smooth drag release and the durability.


S3D_RL_BT
S3D

S3D SPOOL leads to significantly reduced spool vibration. This creates an smooth feeling when casting.


SA-RB_RL_BT
S A-RB

S A-RB bearings are put through the same process as Shimano’s A-RB bearings but feature shields on both sides of the bearings. These shields reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the rotation of the bearing.


SUPERFREESPOOL_RL_BT
SUPER FREE SPOOL

SUPER FREE SPOOL reduces friction on the spool shaft during the cast and enhances casting performance.
