Welcome to the2015 Shimano Catalogue...
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the 2015 Shimano Catalogue.
As one of the worlds leading fishing tackle companies, Shimano is committed to
designing, developing and delivering excellent products across all fishing disciplines.
At all price levels, from the most technologically advanced, to starter level, you will find
Shimano products that offer outstanding value and performance.
This year sees many new products across all ranges.
With an enviable history of producing some of the worlds most iconic reels, the
introduction of theStella FI will come as no surprise. Stella is Shimanos flagship reel and
has been for many years. The Stella FI, with its new Micro Module gearing, has been a
huge success and reinforces Shimanos technological advantage.
Another new introduction is the Baitrunner X Aero range. This combines the very best
features of Baitrunner reels with a larger spool. The result is increased casting distance
and better fish-playing performance, combined with the simplicity of the original rear
lever Baitrunner free spool facility. For carp and specimen anglers, the Baitrunner X Aero
range provides optimum versatility, irrespective of the size of waters you fish.
You will also notice that Shimano Front drag reels have now been placed in four distinct
categories to help you choose the correct model for you fishing.
CoreSolidreels are strong, smooth and totally reliable. TheLightweight Seriesmake
best use of Shimanos CI4+ material and deliver weight savings of up to 25%. Aero
Dynamicscombines a larger Aero spool with a more compact body and P4continues to
offer great value Shimano reels at a lower price point.
At EFTTEX 2014, the new Rarenium CI4+ FDwas voted best new fixed spool reel at
the show. For anglers wanting an ultra light reel, combined with uncompromising
performance, this new model is not to be missed.
For salt water game anglers, the new Spheros SW offers a range of features also found
on the market leading Stella SW, at a remarkably low price.
The Shimano rod range has also seen some exciting additions. The new top-of-the-range
Lesath CXspinning rod is the best Shimano has ever made and was rightly awarded the
title of best new rod at the EFTTEX 2014 show. To prove that Shimano is not just about
the most advanced products the hugely popular Yasei Red spinning range has had a
makeover. Many of the new models now have Fuji guides, making them even better
value for money for predator anglers across Europe. In keeping with the latest trends,
there have also been two new additions in the EVAhandled spinning range - the Sustain
and the Aernos. Both of these models have graphics which match the reels of the same
name.
For salt water anglers there have been some big changes.
The introduction of the Blue Romancerange, which consists of nine different method
specific models (with STC versions also available), covers a huge variety of salt water
fishing methods, from big game to light lure methods. The stunning blue blanks andsilver graphics also make Blue Romance one of the visually attractive ranges Shimano
has ever made.
For anglers fishing for the worlds hardest fighting Pelagic species, there are two new
Ocearods that, when combined with Shimano SW reels offer the complete package of
performance and reliability.
Shimano is known worldwide for its high quality bike and fishing products but from June
2014 on we globally launched a totally new product; the Action camera!
The Shimano CM-1000 Sport Camera is unique and an absolute great tool for any angler
and cyclist (extensively tested and used during the Tour de France).
The camera is the smallest in his kind (size of a matchbox), ultra-lightweight and
waterproof up to 10 meters straight out of the box! From now on youll never leave
without the Shimano Sport Camera! In the catalogue you find all details about the camera.
You will notice in this catalogue that we have included more Shimano Pro
Staff images and also fishing related editorial. This is to make the catalogue
a more complete experience and is in line with the Shimano Human toHuman ethos. To reinforce this even further, you will find at the back of this
catalogue a fantastic competition that is open to all Shimano Catalogue owners
throughout Europe.
Keep enjoying your fishing!

REEL TECHNOLOGY
SHIMANO HAVE A REPUTATION FOR ENGINEERING EXCELLENCE
AND INNOVATION THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
BELOW IS AN OVERVIEW OF THE MOST IMPORTANT SHIMANO REEL FEATURES. MANYFEATURES, ORIGINALLY ONLY ON THE MOST TECHNICAL REELS, ARE NOW WIDELY
AVAILABLE. THESE FEATURES INCLUDE XSHIP, AERO WRAP II AND ARC SPOOLS.
REEL TECHNOLOGY
X-Shipis a combination of features that work
together to create much greater efficiency. By
positioning the pinion gear close to the centre
line of the large diameter drive gear, more power
is transferred from the handle to the rotor. The
pinion gear is also supported by two Shimano
A-RB roller bearings. This creates more stability.
Aero Wrapand the advancedAero Wrap
II is a worm gear oscillation system with a
specially designed pitch to create optimal
oscillation speeds. This provides superb
uniform line lay to reduce loss of energy
during the cast. Aero Wrap II is considered one
of the best line lay systems in the world.
Varispeed and the latest version called
VariSpeed IIoscillation system moves with
two variable speeds to lay the line flat and
smooth onto the spool. This provides trouble-
free, longer distant casts. Varispeed is found
on budget and mid-priced Shimano reels.
Shimano Shielded A-RBbearings use a shield
to prevent contamination. This protection
reduces wear, improves efficiency and
deliverers super smooth performance.
Shimano S A-RBbearings are high corrosion
resistant A-RB ball bearings with an extra shield
for improved protection against sand, salt or
dust. S A-RB bearings are used in salt water reels.
The precision engineered main Hypergear
transmits more power from the handle to the
rotor. Designed to exacting tolerances, it requires
less effort but returns more retrieve playing
torque with vastly reduced component wear.
HYPERGEAR
Easy Maintenanceis a small oil lubrication
port that enables direct lubrication of the
inner workings of a reel with approved
Shimano lubricant. Some high-end Shimano
reels have a line roller lubrication option.
CI4is an exclusive material created by the
inter-fusion of carbon and polyamide. It is
almost as strong as metal with the lightness
of a composite. CI4 is used for the body
and rotor on many Shimano reels.
CI4+is an advanced version of the original
CI4. This highly technical material is 2.5 times
stiffer than CI4 and is used on many high-end
Shimano reels to increase weight savings. Use
of CI4+ for the body and rotor also delivers
remarkable stiffness for better reel efficiency.
GEARING AND BEARINGS MATERIALS
Dyna-Balance reduces wobble during the retrieve
by counter balancing the rotor to enhance
sensitivity and smoothness. By using computer
balancing Shimano are able to redistribute the
rotor weight to create eliminate vibrations.
ALUMINIUM
Shimano uses aluminium in many different forms.
Diecast aluminiumis used for many
types of reel and is most common on
fixed spool reel bodies and rotors.
Cold Forged aluminiumis used for some round
reels, fly reels and is also used for many types of
spool. Made from one single piece of aluminium
Cold Forging produces great strength.
Machined aluminumis used for the verybest multiplier reels where precision,
strength and lightness are very important.
Hybrid bodies are produced from a
combination of aluminium and XT7.
MAGNESIUMShimano use magnesiumfor a select number of
ultra high quality reels where weight saving is
essential. The use of magnesium offers a weight
saving of up to 10% compared with aluminium.
XGT-7XGT-7is an improved version of the tried and
trusted Shimano X T-7 composite material.
Used on some of the newest mid-priced
reels XGT-7 is lightweight and stiff.
XT-7XT-7is the original Shimano composite reel
material. Used on mid-priced and budget reels
and spools XT-7 is reliable, robust and lightweight.
LINE LAY AND LINEMANAGEMENT
AerowaveAerowave is used on some Shimano saltwater
spinning reels. This oscillation system is
simple in nature, yet produces excellent
line lay with both braid and mono.
The special grooved design of the Shimano Power
Roller significantly reduces line twist and is a big
advantage when using thin mono and braid.
ShimanoAR-C Spoolis a patented spool design
with an angled spool lip. This design enables the
line to leave the spool with less friction and in
smaller coils resulting in longer more accurate
casts. AR-C spools are proven to reduce backlash
and wind knots when using braid. AR-C spools
are now standard on almost all Shimano reels.
OscillationOne speed Oscillation -the spool moves at a
consistent speed.
Two speed Oscillation- the spool moves at two
different speeds.
Slow Oscillation - the spool moves slowly
allowing more line wraps per cycle.
Super Slow Oscillation- the spool moves very
slowly forming almost parallel wraps of line.

F MODERNZANDER FISHINGZander are one of the most popular predator species and are catchable with
a lot of different techniques. Shimano work together with their Pro Staff to
design rods for specific methods and different styles of fishing, to ensure
you get the most from your fishing. One of the more recent developments
has been the increasing use of lighter weight rods for zander fishing.
To get the most from lightweight jigging and shad rods a lightweight reel is veryimportant as it improves the balance of the complete set-up. The Lightweight Series
reels are perfect for finesse type situations. The combination of less weight (up
to 25% less!) and the easy rotation of the Magnumlite rotor combines to produce
a set-up that enables you to fish better for longer and with much less fatigue.

FRONT DRAG REELS
The classy new Rarenium CI4+ has a body frame built from Shimanosexclusive CI4+ composite. This reduces the weight dramatically compared
to metal bodied reels, yet still retains the strength and stiffness required
to ensure the internal gears retain their integrity when under pressure.
The inclusion of a Magnumlite CI4+ rotor not only reduces weight
further, it produces an ultra light rotation which improves the winding
sensitivity, making the Rarenium CI4+ a superb lure fishing reel.
All models combine Shimanos exclusive X-Ship gearing with 6 Shielded
A-RB bearings. This produces ultra smooth performance combined with
maximum winding efficiency. The relatively slow 5.0:1 and 5.2:1 gear
ratio delivers excellent torque for anglers fishing for larger species.
Available in four sizes from the smallest 1000 size for finesse fishing
with lightweight lures, to the largest 4000 model for heavier lure
and feeder fishing or lightweight specimen fishing, the 3000 modelhas a shallow spool suitable for use with lightweight mono for float
fishing or braid when predator or medium range feeder fishing.
Part of the Shimano Lightweight Concept, the new Rarenium CI4+
combines ultra light weight feel with powerful winding performance
making it one of the most versatile reels in the Shimano front drag range.

...Ultra light in weight, but
big on performance, theAR-C Aero CI4+ deliversamazing performance.
AERO DYNAMICS
The AR-C Aero follows on from the success of the Aero introduction.
Available in a versatile 4000 size, in both standard (4.8:1) and high speed
(6.2:1) options, the AR-C Aero is made from technically advanced CI4+
composite for a huge weight reduction just 255g. The combination
of X-ship gearing and 6 Shielded A-RB bearings plus a roller bearing
ensure maximum power and smooth performance. For easy accurate
casting the Aero uses Aerowrap II line lay and an AR-C spool.

FRONT DRAG REELS
The new Aero CI4+ fits perfectly into the existing Aero range. With
a lightweight CI4+ body and rotor, the Aero CI4+ weighs only 280g
making it noticeably lighter than the original Aero models whilst still
retaining the oversized AR-C spool. X-Ship gearing and 5 Shielded A-RB
bearings transfer power from the single machined aluminium handle
to the rotor with maximum efficiency for increased cranking power.
The oversized AR-C spool combined with Aero Wrap II line lay
results in smoother, longer and more accurate casts and like all
Aero models the large diameter spool enables the waterproof
front drag to work more effectively when under pressure.
The Aero CI4+ comes in two retrieve speeds; the standard model has a
powerful 4.8:1 ratio that is perfect for playing hard fighting fish, whilst the
HG (high gear) model has a quick 5.8:1 ratio that retrieves over 1 metre of line
per handle turn making it more suited to distance fishing. Both models come
with a Match and Shallow spool reducer which reduces the line capacity.

AERO CI4+ REELSAero CI4+ reels combine two of Shimanos most recent and exclusive
concepts - Aero Dynamics and lightweight CI4+ carbon construction.
Aero reels feature an oversized, wide diameter spool with a small compact
body design. The larger spool improves casting performance and also
produces a smoother low-inertia drag performance. The lightweight
CI4+ body construction saves a considerable amount of weight.
The result of this combination is that Aero CI4+ reels are
approximately 20% lighter than similar sized reels, which results
in better rod balance and improved fishing performance.
Both Aero CI4+ models also feature the very best Shimano gearing technology
(X-Ship) and are available in two speed options to suit your preference.
SPEED MACHINESOne of the species in Europe that is
getting more and more popular is the
Asp. Coming from the east of Europe,
and spreading fast, it can be likened to
a fresh water tarpon. Asp is a predator
that can attack a lure within a split of a
second. The bites are very aggressive
and they are best fished for with soft
plastics and crankbaits from 7g up to
50g. Fishing for Asp means hard work
and involves a mobile approach with a lot
of casting. But when you get a bite you
will be addicted for the rest of your life!
The eyes of the Asp have fast moving
cells. This means that the lure must
always have a high speed during the
retrieve. The perfect reels for Asp
are the hi-speed Aero CI4+ models.
These reels cast superbly and retrieve
over 1 metre of line per handle turn.
They are also lightweight for reduced
fatigue when making lots of casts.
When it comes to predator fishing, the
ultra fast Asp is formula one fishing!

AERO DYNAMICS
The Aero Concept reel with the fastest gear ratio (5.8:1), especially
selected for medium and long range distance feeder fishing, retrieves
104cm of line with each full handle turn! The oversized AR-C spool
improves casting performance, especially when using heavy mono
main lines which have become more necessary in recent years as
fish get larger. Along with a prestigious line up of top Shimanofeatures, the Aero Feeder comes with two different sized line reducers
enabling spool capacity to be changed to suit personal preference.
For anglers who prefer a double handle for feeder fishing an
additional handle can be purchased from your Shimano dealer.

...Aero FA 2500 is the
smallest Aero Dynamics reelmaking it perfect for lightweightrods when optimum castingperformance is still required.
The new smaller sized Aero 2500 FA is ideal for anglers wanting the
benefits of the Aero concept in a smaller, lighter package. Perfect for many
styles of fishing, the new 2500 sized Aero balances lighter and shorter
rods more effectively than larger reels. This makes it the ideal solution forcommercial match and feeder rods, which are shorter than standard rods.
The oversized AR-C spool, combined with Aero Wrap II line
lay results in smoother more accurate casts, especially with
heavier mono, and the large diameter of the spool works more
efficiently with the front drag, especially at light settings.
The Aero 2500 comes in two retrieve speeds; the standard model
has a powerful 5.0:1 ratio that is perfect for playing hard fighting
fish, whilst the HG (high gear) model has a quick 6.0:1 ratio that
retrieves almost 1 metre of line per handle turn making it more suited

making them perfect for matching with lightweight rods and ultra thin
lines, but for anglers wanting the ultimate in small reels
the Symtre 500FL really does take some beating.
Weighing just 173g, this mini model is great for small river spinning and
other ultra light techniques where finesse is required. Match one with
a 1.8m or 2.1m lightweight rod and you will be amazed how balanced
your set up is and also how well you can fish. Imparting small fish-
enticing action into small lures is often the difference between success
and failure and with the Symtre 500FL success really is in your hands.

FIGHTIN DRAG
FIGHTIN DRAGThe Fightin Drag allows you to
quickly adjust the drag tension,
with a minimal amount of clicks
during the fight. This is especially
important when the drag has not
been set correctly and line is nearingthe breaking point, or you need to
put more pressure on the fish.
One of the most reliable ways to set
the drag of a reel with Fightin Drag
is to set the Fightin Drag leaver
to its maximum setting, and then
adjust the rear drag to the breaking
strength of the line. Then move
the Fightin Drag leaver back to its
central position. Now you can be
sure that even when the Fightin
Drag is applied to the maximum
setting the line will not break.Another advantage is that by
moving the Fightin Drag leaver
to its minimum setting it can
produce a semi free spool to
prevent breakages on the take.

THE EVOLUTION CONTINUES
For over 25 years Shimano Baitrunner has dominated the free-spool
reel market. Since their launch in the 1980s, Baitrunner reels have been
continuously improved and developed. For 2015 the Baitrunner evolution
take a giant leap forward with the launch of the new Baitrunner X-Aero
models. These new reels combine the traditional simplicity of the rear
Baitrunner free-spool leaver, with a much larger Aero Concept spool.The result of this evolution is noticeably better casting performance,
nearly matching that of some Big Pit type models and even better
fish-playing drag performance. Baitrunner X-Aero reels are available
in both large sized rear drag and smaller front drag versions.

XAERO RAThe new Baitrunner X-Aero combines the benefits and convenience
of a traditional Baitrunner reel with the casting performance rivalling
that of a compact Big Pit reel. This outstanding casting performance
is achieved by the use of an oversized Aero Concept spool which is
noticeably larger in diameter than a normal sized spool. The Baitrunner
X-Aero also uses Aero Wrap II (Shimanos top line lay system) and
2-speed oscillation for almost perfect spool line management. Another
advantage of the large diameter spool is that one turn of the handle
retrieves nearly 1 metre of line making retrieving from distance faster.
To satisfy modern anglers thinking, both the 8000 and 10000 sized reels
now have a single handle which generates more winding power than
the double handle which is still fitted to the smaller 6000 model. The
hybrid body of the Baitrunner X-Aero has a black satin finish and the
line clip on the XGT-7 rotor is line fr iendly to prevent line damage.
For more than 20 years the Shimano Baitrunner reel has been the
most popular specimen reel available, trusted by millions of anglers
throughout Europe. Now, with the addition of the Aero Concept
spool, a single handle in the larger sizes and a satin black finish, it
is set to continue to be the anglers favourite for many years.

The latest version of the popular Baitrunner XT range has received
a cosmetic face lift and has been upgraded. Line management is
now controlled by Aero Wrap II with 2-speed oscillation to deliver
faultless line lay which in turn increases casting performance. Another
improvement is the hybrid aluminium body which is stronger and

10000 sizes the Baitrunner XT-RB offers carp anglers a choice of sizes
to suit personal preference at a very affordable price point.

For anglers wanting reliable Shimano Baitrunner technology on a small budget,
the new Baitrunner ST-RB is the natural choice. Understated graphics, in keeping
with the latest trends in carp fishing, a traditional easy-to-use rear Baitrunner
system, balanced double handle, aluminium AR-C spool and Varispeed
line lay all combine to produce an affordable reel with lots of credibility.
The 6000 size makes a great specimen and specialist fishing reel
suitable for medium sized carp, barbel, tench and predator bait
fishing for pike and zander, whilst the larger 10000 size is more
suitable for larger fish from both large and small waters alike.
Both reels have a powerful 4.6:1 gear ratio which delivers
plenty of power when playing large fish.
With its midnight blue body and gun metal grey Cold Forged Aluminium
main spool, the Baitrunner DL comes with a spare XT7 graphite spool as
standard. Both have prodigious line capacities 430 yards of 12lb on the
10000 and 300 yards of 10lb on the 6000 and are powered by a Diecast
Drive Gear backed by 3 Shielded Stainless Steel bearings plus a roller
bearing for assured performance. Other features include Super Stopper II,Dyna-Balance, Floating Shaft II and a Power Roller to minimise line twist.
The 6000 size is a favourite of specialist anglers fishing for barbel, tench,
chub and bream whilst the 10000 size suits carp anglers fishing both large
and small waters. The Baitrunner DL offers an excellent quality to cost
ratio for carp and specialist anglers looking for a mid-priced Baitrunner.

The new Baitrunner X Aero FA is one of the most advanced small reels
available and combines the benefits and convenience of a traditional Mini
Baitrunner reel, with additional casting performance delivered by the
new Aero Concept spool design which is larger than previous spools.
Available in both 2500 and 4000 sizes, the Baitrunner X Aero FA makes a
superb feeder reel when fishing for small and medium carp, alternatively
it can also be used for many specialist situations and even as a small
predator reel where the freespool facility really comes into its own.
The larger Aero Concept spool not only improves casting
performance it also improves the drag function as the larger
diameter spool requires less pressure to work effectively. The result
is a low inertia start and increased fish-playing smoothness.
This new top-of-the-range Mini Baitrunner features Shimanos best
Shielded A-RB bearings for increased smoothness and efficient
power transfer from the double handle to the rotor making playing
of powerful fish easier, even when using the smallest 2500 size.Following on from the huge success of the Mini Baitrunner
Series over the last few years, the new Baitrunner X Aero FA
sets new standards in compact freespool reel design.

...SMALL IN SIZE,BIG IN VERSATILITYMini Baitrunner reels have become a
firm favourite of feeder and specialist
anglers over the last few years. Thesmall 2500 and 4000 sizes match
perfectly to almost all feeder rods and
also lighter specimen and barbel rods.
For many anglers fishing Commercial
venues for small and medium sized
carp, the Mini Baitrunner reels are
the first choice reel because of the
Baitrunner free-spool facility.
When engaged it is almost
impossible to get your line broken
when a fish takes the bait. This is
especially important when Method
feeder or bolt rig fishing whichoften results in savage bites.
For specialist anglers fishing for
powerful species like barbel and
tench the same applies. Bolt rigs
can be safely used, even at close
range, which can be a big problem
when using a normal type reel.
For predator anglers fishing with
deadbaits, the Baitrunner free-spool
lets the fish pick up the bait and run
for a few metres without resistance.
The result is more successful
hooking and less dropped runs.Mini Baitrunner reels may be small in
size but they are perfect performers
for many types of fishing.

GOOD OSCILLATIONIMPROVES DISTANCE
The Aero Wrap II worm shaft oscillation system sets Shimano apart
from many of its competitors. By slowing down the oscillation
speed of the spool as it moves up and down, line is wrapped
onto the spool in a much smoother, more organized way.
The biggest benefit of this is that during a long cast, line comes off the
spool much easier, which reduces friction. This reduction in friction
combined with the AR-C spool, gives better performance in terms of
distance and accuracy. Super Slow oscillation, with its staggering 100
rotor turns per oscillation, is unique in the fishing industry and shows the
high skilled engineering and manufacturing capabilities of Shimano.

The Aero Technium 12000 XTB MGS is the ultimate distance casting reel
for those who want the very best. Its a reel designed without compromiseand literally includes the best of everything Shimano has to offer in a
sleek futuristic body that is finished almost totally in black with subtle
chrome detailing. The magnesium and CI4+ body components produce
remarkable lightness, which in turn increases rod speed when casting. The
combination of the AR-C spool, Aero Wrap II and super slow oscillation
(approximately 100 turns of line per full oscillation) produces the most
perfect line lay and the inclusion of X-ship engineering ensures maximum
cranking efficiency when playing fish. A prestigious 8 Shielded A-RB
bearings, plus a roller bearing, makes this model the smoothest Shimano
Big Pit you can own and a few turns of the slim profile handle reveals
its true pedigree. The inclusion of a line guard guarantees trouble free
performance and prevents any chance of the line getting under the spool.
