Brand New for 2012
Shimano big pit/surf casting reels featuring a front drag have found favour with many specialists including pike, catfish and carp anglers. And not forgetting Beachcasters for whom they were originally designed. Their robust construction, massive cranking power plus big capacity spools make them brilliant for repeated long-range casting.
Supplied with two big capacity Cold Forged Aluminium spools, the Aero Technium MgS (Magnesium) XS-B is the flagship of the Big Pit / Surf casting reels.
Stunning cosmetics, extreme lightness and a truckload of new features, again this reel will captivate the minds of all fishermen. The new X-Ship system reduces friction to a minimum making this reel run much smoother and more stable.
The newly designed cold forged aluminium drive gear reduces the cranking power making it easier to retrieve even the heaviest loads. With a magnesium body and rotor a staggering weight of only 440g is accomplished.
Imagine 100 rotor turns in one full oscillation and a line retrieve over one meter for a speedy line retrieve. The Instant Drag, setting the reel into free spool in just half a turn, will make this reel a dream to all surf anglers.
