Propulsion Line Management System
The most obvious component of the Propulsion Line Management System is the new
Propulsion spool lip design. Through tens of thousands of casting tests and
computer simulations it has been determined that this new spool lip design
provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design while
preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming. It also allows the line to
flow off of the spool in smaller loops during the cast which means less slap on
the stripper guide. This means longer casts with less friction. The Propulsion
spool also utilizes a long stroke design to further enhance the casting
distance. Furthermore, there is less bouncing of the line on the spool lip like
on a standard spinning spool. Because of the unique shape of the Propulsion
spool, the line flows consistently off of the spool. So, with a standard spool,
friction alternates from heavy to light as the line slaps the spool lip. This
causes backlash and inconsistent line speeds. The Propulsion spool lip provides
consistently light friction to overcome these situations. S-ConceptS-Concept represents Shimano's initial philosophy on which
many of our spinning reel have been designed. The three basic ideas that are
inherent in the S-Concept are Smooth, Silent and Strong.
- Smooth rotation and comfortable retrieve, coupled with excellent drag
performance and longer casting distance, leads to our smooth, flawless
operation.
- Silent operation of parts within the reel's construction represents the
attention to tight tolerances, reducing excessive noise and resulting in the
silent operation of our reels.
- Strong, solid and functional construction leads to powerful torque and
durable drivetrains. This gives anglers the strength and confidence they need to
battle elusive gamefish.
- The new sizing of our S-Concept reels offers anglers a bigger spool and
smaller body, resulting in a lighter, more comfortable fishing experience
without sacrificing line capacity.
The end result are reels offering
anglers smooth, silent and strong reels that are designed for years of fishing
use. The knowledge of fishing and the minds of Shimano's engineers have given
today's angler state-of-the-art reels that are ready for any
challenge. |
