Paladin Gear Durability Enhancement
Spinning Using a special cold forged aluminum drive gear and a hardened brass pinion gear, reels equipped with the Paladin Gear Durability Enhancement will retain their out-of-the-box smoothness
much longer than before. In fact, testing has shown that this combination of metals is more durable than an all-stainless steel drivetrain while maintaining the smoothness that Shimano is famous for.
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.
The second component of the 5 piece Propulsion Line Management System is the SR One-Piece Bail Wire. This feature was first
introduced on the Stella FB and allows the line to travel unimpeded to the line roller. Its seamless design reduces friction and reduces the chance of tangles or cuts to the bail arm.
The third component of the Propulsion System is the oversized Power Roller III line roller. This specially grooved line roller is
designed to reduce twist caused by repetitive casting and retrieving, and its large diameter assists in reducing friction and line memory.
The fourth component of the Propulsion
System is a redesigned bail trip mechanism.
This bail trip allows the angler to easily trip the bail by turning the handle, while reducing the chance of the bail closing during the cast prematurely.
The final component of the Propulsion System
is the S-Arm Cam. This protruding surface on the bail arm serves to keep the line in
contact with the line roller even in slack line fishing such as vertical jigging
or drop-shotting. So, once the line gets to the roller, the cam keeps the line in place, rather than allowing it to fall back off onto the bail wire which would increase the risk of knots, loops or tangles.
Slow Oscillation
This oscillation system is more advanced than
Aerowrap, which uses a criss-cross line lay to reduce friction. Instead, slow oscillation uses a tightly packed parallel pattern to reduce the chance of the
upper layer of line grabbing the lower layer, creating unwanted friction. The
result is an evenly shaped line lay, with excellent castability and control.
The SR-Concept The SR-Concept combines the new concept of
Reliance with all aspects of the S-Concept: Smooth,
Silent and Strong. The Reliance Concept, or RConcept,
means that dreams in reel design are now
evolving into reality. The result of the use of the new
SR Concept in design is the development of many
exciting new features.
SR-3D Gear This oversized drive gear was designed
with three-dimensional analysis. This allows the surface
of each tooth to be contoured exactly to the
tooth shape of the pinion gear. The result is more
tooth surface of the drive gear is in contact with the
tooth surface of the pinion gear. Smoothness,
torque, efficiency and durability are all increased.
SR One-Piece Bail This one-piece bail wire has no
gap for line to snag on during normal operation.
Made of stainless steel, it reduces friction and
allows the line to get onto the line roller quicker.
S A-RB (Shielded A-RB) Ball Bearings These 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.

S-Concept Represents Shimanos initial
philosophy on which many of our spinning
reels have been designed. The three basic
ideas that are inherent in the S-Concept
are Smooth, Silent and Strong.
S-Rotor Compact and lightweight to
ensure a comfortable retrieve.
S-Guard Protects the body of the reel
from impact damage.
S-Arm Cam A protruding surface on the
bail arm keeps slack line in contact with
the line roller to reduce the chance of
tangles and line cuts.
Machined Aluminum Handle Saltwater and Freshwater Spinning For
increased strength and power.
Direct Drive Mechanism (Thread Handle Attachment) The drive gear is directly attached to the handle, which means power is transmitted more efficiently with less vibration while increasing durability.
Septon Handle Grips® This handle grip material
is soft to the touch and does not get slippery when wet.
WP Drag (Waterproof Drag)
Maintenance Port A sealed plug that
can be removed using a screwdriver to
easily lubricate the drivetrain without
disassembling the reel.
Fluidrive II Saltwater and Freshwater Spinning Building upon
the successes of Fluidrive, which provides extremely tight
tolerances and control in the cutting process, Fluidrive II polishes
the gear surface to maximize tooth contact. This increases the efficiency of
the retrieve for more power with less effort.
Floating Shaft Saltwater and Freshwater Spinning With this feature, using a
bearing or bushing, friction is reduced between the pinion gear and spool shaft
for increased smoothness and durability.
Dyna-BalanceSaltwater and Freshwater Spinning This feature
eliminates wobble during the retrieve by counterbalancing the
rotor to enhance sensitivity and smoothness. By using computer
balancing, an approach similar to car tire balancing, we are able to redistribute
the rotor weight to create smooth rotation and eliminate vibrations caused by
the reel.
Super Stopper II Spinning Super Stopper II anti-reverse uses a one-way roller bearing that eliminates backplay. This provides the angler with instant hooksetting
power. In some reels, the Super Stopper II can be turned off to allow backreeling
for special techniques and situations.
