Shimano engineers designed Antares 100 B to deliver exceptional casting performance and smoothness, setting a new standard within the Shimano baitcasting reel lineup. The series features innovative braking and line management technologies unique to this flagship series, offering anglers advanced precision and control.

To achieve ultra-low spool vibration and maximize casting distance, the Antares 100 B integrates two cutting-edge technologies: the MGL Spool IV and the SVS Infinity braking system. The MGL Spool IV’s new reverse-taper design addresses line winding issues that often cause unbalanced spool rotation and vibration.

The SVS Infinity system uses internal centrifugal force to adjust the braking based on spool speed — applying more resistance at the start of the cast and less as the cast progresses. This combination minimizes backlashes and enhances casting distance, particularly with light lures.

In addition to its sleek, futuristic look, the Antares 100 B boasts ergonomic features like a compact, palm-friendly magnesium HAGANE Body and a redesigned clutch for effortless operation and improved spool access. Now available in North America in a versatile 100 size with both HG and XG right and left-handed models, the Antares 100 B is ideal for anglers seeking the pinnacle of technology and performance in a baitcasting reel.

The Baitrunner D gives anglers the confidence of a legendary drivetrain and auto-return baitrunner feature in addition to enhanced features for enhanced castability, better line lay and less backlash.

The Baitrunner D also features larger, more comfortable grips, a higher max drag, and a wider range of baitrunner settings than its predecessors.

The Calcutta series of reels represents the core of Shimano’s quality, versatility, dependability and long-term value. There’s a Calcutta reel for almost any application, in fresh or saltwater. With Cross Carbon Drag and A-RB (Anti-Rust Bearings) the Calcutta will give you years of solid performance.

The benchmark in smoothness, precision and pure power, Shimano designed the new Calcutta Conquest to be the pinnacle in performance. While the Calcutta Conquest 200 may look like a classic, this iconic reel incorporates many of Shimano’s flagship technologies for those anglers demanding the best.

The new Calcutta Conquest features Infinity Drive — a first for Shimano to include this technology in a bass reel — to provide anglers with increased winding power under load. Simply put, the compact size defies resistance and heavy loads with ease for extreme angler benefit. The MGL Spool III increases an angler’s arsenal of techniques, allowing for casting of an even greater variety of lures while also providing greater casting distance and precision with even less effort.

Additional premium features include SilentTune and MicroModule Gears, paired together to create an experience of absolute precision with every handle turn. Built for anglers who prefer a classic look while demanding the pinnacle in performance, the new Calcutta Conquest sets a new precedence.

What do you get when you design a reel with five silky-smooth A-RB bearings, a lightweight, diecast one-piece aluminum frame, Super Stopper anti-reverse and Shimano’s VBS braking system? You get a reel you can depend on, day-in and day-out, that will perform beyond your expectations. That’s the Cardiff.

It doesn’t matter what you’re doing-start with a solid base, and everything you build on it will be better. So we started the Corvalus with a one-piece diecast aluminum frame that will stand up in battle. Add Super Stopper anti-reverse for solid hooksets and our Variable Braking System (VBS) for easy casts, and there will always be a place for Corvalus in your armory.
