Methanium, the standard-bearer of lightweight all-rounders, is equipped with a Yumeya shallow spool, which is supported by many anglers, as standard. A special model focused on more technical fishing has been added to the lineup. With a view to close-range combat by shooting, an aluminum drive gear with increased strength similar to brass is adopted. Operability and controllability have been improved by reducing the weight by 10g from 20 methanium. In addition to long casts, it is possible to approach with high accuracy even in short-range fishing with a large number of casts. In modern bass fishing, where the lures used are diversified, this is one that plays an important role in building a tackle system that does not have any gaps.

Key Features

Shallow spools are standard equipment for even lighter lures.

It is equipped with a Nylon Line 8lb-100m capacity and is equipped with the same specs as the Yumeya Methanium Shallow Spool III. The shallow-groove Magnum Light Spool III also covers the area of lighter lures and provides a lighter rise than the standard type with a capacity of 12lb-100m. You can also perform low-trajectory casts that crawl on the surface of the water as you wish. With a short cast of lightweight lures, you can shoot through the pin spots accurately... It is a special specification for experts who are good at such technical styles.

Lightweight yet robust. Newly designed duralumin drive gear.

The Shallow Edition with the standard shallow groove spool, which accentuates the light rise of the Magnum Light Spool III, is equipped with a lightweight duralumin drive gear to further enhance its nimble feel. In order to ensure the same strength as brass gear, this newly designed drive gear, which has revised the shape of the tooth surface, achieves a body weight of 165 g, which is a weight reduction of 10 g from 20 methanium. The special methanium, which is even lighter and easier to maneuver, brings even more precision to the short-range approach.

Technology

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

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
Larger diameter of the drive gears, optimal placement of both pinion and drive gears, and two-point support with pinion gear bearings. The engagement of these sturdy gears maintains a nimble reeling that is resistant to loads.

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,

Magnum Light Spool III
A new dimension of low inertia spool evokes excitement.
After evolving from the first generation Magnum Light Spool to the second generation Magnum Light Spool, the latest Magnum Light Spool III was born as the third generation. We took on the challenge of making the spool even thinner and achieved lower inertia than before without compromising durability. Not only does it have long-distance casting performance, but it also has a much lighter start-up than previous models, an exhilarating cast feel that extends forever, and greatly improved trouble-free performance.

Core Solid Body
A metal integrally molded body that achieves both high rigidity and compact size. The level wind protector and side plate, which are usually made separately from the frame, are integrally molded with metal. It boasts high rigidity and a compact body size that is easy to palm. The strong body, which does not make a noise even under strong loads, is less likely to cause deflection when interacting with large fish or forcibly pulling fish out of the cover, and realizes a stable winding. It is a new and reliable body structure that allows you to power fight with peace of mind.

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∞ (Infiniti)
A wide range of functions can be used by adjusting the external dial. Next-generation centrifugal brakes have evolved further.
The centrifugal force brake -SVS- combines a nimble start and a good stretch to shoot deep into the back of the point, and a long-throw performance. The SVS∞ (Infinity) has a wide brake adjustment range and can be used in a wide range of situations by simply adjusting the external dial (internal brake shoes: when 4 brake shoes are turned on). In addition, more detailed braking adjustments are possible by adjusting the internal brake shoes.

Ci4
A new carbon material that is an evolution of the lightweight carbon material C14. Rigidity and durability have been greatly improved while maintaining lightness, making it possible to reduce the size and weight of the reel.

S3D

By completely reviewing the cutting method, the spool accuracy has been greatly improved. As a result, the quietness when casting is improved. (Compared to our company)

S A-RB

By applying a special anti-rust treatment to the bearing itself, the durability against rust has been greatly improved. The S A-RB is also sealed with rust-proof material on the sides, which greatly reduces salt corrosion due to salt recrystallization inside the bearing.

Super Fleece Pool
When the clutch is disengaged, only two bearings support the spool. It is a system that suppresses rattling and minimizes spool-free performance to the utmost limit.
