Shimano 26 Soare BB
The Soare BB is a spinning reel that boasts a smooth retrieve that makes it easy to handle lightweight lures and allows you to clearly feel even the slightest bite.
It features a long handle common to the series, making it easy to maintain a consistent retrieve speed, and the Infinity Drive system ensures powerful yet effortless rotation. Furthermore, the Infinity Cross system significantly enhances gear durability. With line capacity optimized for light lines and a highly responsive drag that starts smoothly, it's less likely to break thin lines even when a fish suddenly runs. The anti-twist fin reduces line slack and prevents the line from falling off the line roller, further supporting the comfortable handling of lightweight lures. The specifications to improve your light saltwater fishing skills are all here.
For the operation of lightweight lures:
This reel features cutting-edge technology to improve the handling of lightweight lures.
The Micro Module Gear II, which enhances smoothness, and the Silent Drive, which completely eliminates play, gaps, and vibrations in the drive mechanism, provide a silky-smooth winding feel that allows anglers to concentrate on fishing. The main shaft material has been changed from SUS (stainless steel) to aluminum, which is used in higher-end models, resulting in a 5g weight reduction.
In light saltwater fishing, where casting and lure manipulation are repeated frequently, the hands and arms become strained during long fishing sessions. Reducing fatigue through weight reduction contributes to the angler's ability to maintain concentration.
Remaining Technology:
To help you improve your handling of lightweight lures, we've focused on minimising line troubles.
A seamless, one-piece bail is employed, and a new anti-twist fin is added to reduce the problem of line coming loose from the line roller and falling to the bottom of the spool. This allows for proper and neat line winding onto the spool. Furthermore, we've ensured proper line release during casting. The AR-C spool suppresses backlash and maintains long-casting performance.
Aiming for a winding feel that never changes, this reel employs Hagane gears, which are hard and tough thanks to a unique cold-forging technology, enabling a smooth winding feel.
Furthermore, it is newly equipped with Infinity Cross, which achieves overwhelming gear durability through reliable design and manufacturing technology.
And with the newly installed Infinity Drive, which significantly reduces the sliding resistance between the pinion gear and main shaft and also reduces rotational torque, it is now possible to wind powerfully and always maintain control. Rotational performance and durability have been greatly improved, and it has evolved into a tough reel that can be used extensively.
High Response Drag
This drag system offers excellent response to changes in the fish's speed during a fight. It employs a special drag mechanism to prevent line breakage during the fight.
Increased Gear Sizing
A larger main gear provides more torque and strength when it matters most.
