Shimano Antares B Casting Reels (Pre-Order)

ETA Mid-May

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.
