25 Antares key features:

S A-RB

S A-RB

Shielded Stainless Steel Anti-Rust Bearings. These bearings have undergone a special heat treatment resulting in high metal strength. Shielded A-RB bearings use either a rubber shield or stainless steel shield (depending on bearing size) for the ultimate in corrosion resistance and contaminant protection against sand, salt or dust.

HAGANE BODY

HAGANE BODY

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

MICROMODULE (BR)

MICROMODULE (BR)

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.

X-SHIP (BR)

X-SHIP (BR)

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.

SILENTDRIVE (BR)

SILENTDRIVE (BR)

O-ring is placed on the pinion gear inner diameter support of the spool shaft. Reducing play between both parts contributes to improved handle rotation feel.

MAGNUMLITE SPOOL IV

MGL SPOOL IV

The reverse tapered spool corrects the winding shape and reduces spool vibration. The spool balance after spooling has a significant impact on casting performance. The beginning of the line spooling is particularly important. The newly developed Magnum Light Spool IV features a reverse-tapered shape that is ultra-thin and designed for extremely low inertia. It winds the line evenly and consistently. A well-spooled, balanced spool reduces spool vibration during casting, resulting in improved performance.

SILENT TUNE

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.

SVS∞

SVS∞

SVS Infinity, provides easy-to-manage, consistent spool control and brake force. With brake weights that use inner friction against the raceway during the cast, SVS Infinity controls spool speed for precision casting. The external adjustment knob provides for quick, precise adjustments when anglers need to adjust to the conditions or when they switch baits.

S3D

S3D

S3D (SHIMANO STABLE SPOOL DESIGN) leads to significantly reduced spool vibration. This creates an smooth feeling when casting.

SUPER FREE SPOOL

SUPER FREE SPOOL

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

New line guide shape

New line guide shape

The new line guide shape reduces the line play in the line guide when winding the line. It suppresses deviation from the worm shaft design value and contributes to correcting the line winding shape. In addition, a tapered shape is adopted that does not interfere with line release when casting.
