Shimano KISU SPECIAL 45 Series Overview
The Shimano KISU SPECIAL 45 is a top-tier surf casting reel designed to meet the demands of anglers seeking exceptional casting distance and precision. This model introduces a 45mm stroke spool, enhancing casting performance and accuracy.
Key Features
-
Rigid Cast Design
The reel incorporates a balanced design that minimizes flex in the body and main shaft during casting. This rigidity ensures that the release timing remains consistent, resulting in improved casting distance and accuracy.
-
Advanced Technologies
For the first time in a surf casting reel, Shimano has integrated the INFINITYDRIVE and SILENTDRIVE systems. INFINITYDRIVE provides powerful and smooth winding, while SILENTDRIVE enhances the overall refinement and quietness of the reel's operation.
-
Super Slow 10 Oscillation
The CE GOKUHOSO model features a Super Slow 10 oscillation system, which meticulously lays line onto the spool in a tight, uniform pattern. This precise line management reduces resistance during casting, contributing to greater distances achieved.
-
Lightweight Construction
The GOKUHOSO model offers a standard oscillation speed and benefits from a simplified internal mechanism, resulting in a lighter reel weight. This design is ideal for anglers who prioritize a lightweight setup for ease of use during extended casting sessions.
Model Variations
-
CE GOKUHOSO (Competition Edition)
