SPOOL Ⅲ ] Magnum Light Spool Ⅲ

Achieved a much lower inertia than before due to the significant thinning.

A different dimension of castability that allows you to cast long distances far away and short casts with low trajectory at will.

The state-of-the-art Magnum Light Spool III, which stretches lightly, is installed for the first time in Antares.

Different levels of “rise” and “elongation”

Thinning the spool

Cross-sectional comparison photograph of the 2nd generation Magnum Light Spool and Magnum Light Spool III. Pushing the limits of thinning and achieving low inertia without sacrificing durability.

The state-of-the-art Magnum Light Spool III has evolved into the first generation Magnum Light Spool and the second generation Magnum Light Spool, and was born as the third generation. We have taken on the challenge of further thinning the spool and achieved a significant reduction in inertia without compromising durability. In addition, the spool mounted on the NEW Antares has a narrow shape with a width of 19 mm for an outer diameter of 34 mm, which reduces the inertia by about 15% compared to the second generation Magnum light spool. Achieved. It has achieved a lighter start-up, a further increase in flight distance, and a significant improvement in trouble-free performance.

Narrow spool width

The new Antares Magnum Light Spool III, which has been narrowed to a width of 19 mm, achieves unprecedented stretchability and pull-out.

NEW Antares has also narrowed the spool width to achieve even lower inertia. This is a change to further bring out the advantages of Magnum Light Spool III, which is made of thinner material to reduce inertia, and has a quick start of rotation and line emission that continues until the very end, resulting in overwhelming good post-elongation. Contribution. The exhilarating growth that goes through forever exceeds the conventional model, and once cast, it has reached a level where anyone can experience the difference.

Thorough elimination of rotation loss.

[S3D spool]

S3D spool with significantly improved spool accuracy by completely reviewing the cutting method. Quietness during casting is improved (compared to our company), and its smooth rotation without blurring creates further flight distance.

[Silent tune]

By inserting an O-ring in the inner and outer diameters of the bearing and the outer diameter of the bearing, the degree of adhesion with the shaft and frame is improved and rattling is reduced. Silent tune that eliminates spool rotation loss and provides high quietness and smooth rotation feeling.

There is no doubt that the newly adopted Magnum Light Spool III has greatly contributed to the overwhelming cast performance of NEW Antares, but it is Shimano’s original such as S3D spool and silent tune that supports its quick and smooth rotation. Bait reel technology. By thoroughly suppressing vibrations in various places such as the spool itself shaking and rattling of the rotating part, rotation loss is eliminated, quietness is improved, and a refreshing cast feel is realized. It makes it possible to maximize the performance of the Magnum Light Spool III, which has been reduced in inertia to the utmost limit.

Meaning to promote “low inertia”.

The low inertia brings about an improved response of spool rotation, and it is possible to cast with a lighter force. The advantage is especially effective for short range casts. Low trajectory casts that crawl on the surface of the water and technical casts such as skipping are easy to determine, enabling more precise control.

Why is Shimano so obsessed with lowering the inertia of spools? That’s because the benefits of low inertia are huge for bait reels. The low inertia spool has a faster “start-up of rotation”, “lighter force”, “lower trajectory”, and makes it easier to cast “lighter lures”. In addition, if the inertia is low, it is easy to change the “rotation speed” of the spool, and the rotation speed decreases responsively according to the stall of the lure after casting, so backlash is unlikely to occur. On the other hand, a spool with high inertia keeps spinning vigorously even if the lure stalls and the amount of released lines decreases, and it is easy to induce backlash. Therefore, it is necessary to control with the brake, and it becomes difficult to extend the flight distance.

Magnum Light Spool III

Ultra-thin spool that thoroughly pursues low inertia.
As if crawling on the surface of the water, shoot at will.

The state-of-the-art Magnum Light Spool III has evolved into the first generation Magnum Light Spool and the second generation Magnum Light Spool, and was born as the third generation. We have taken on the challenge of further thinning the spool and achieved lower inertia than before without compromising durability. In addition, the spool mounted on NEW Antares has a narrow shape with a width of 19 mm for an outer diameter of 34 mm, which reduces the inertia by about 15% compared to the second generation Magnum light spool. Achieved. Not only long-distance casting performance, but also a light start-up that far exceeds the conventional one, an exhilarating cast feel that extends forever, and a significant improvement in trouble-free performance.

Micro module gear

The ultra-compact precision gear and elaborate body housing provide a “silky” winding feeling that you have never experienced before. Even when compared with conventional gears, the vibration level is less than half (compared to our company), and the number of meshing teeth has increased, ensuring strength that surpasses that of conventional gears. Shimano’s original gear system that has both a smooth feel and strength.

Silent tune

SVS∞ (Infinity)

Although SVS∞ (Infinity) is a centrifugal brake, it has achieved a brake adjustment range that can be used in most situations simply by adjusting the external dial. If you turn on the four brake shoes when casting, you don’t need to adjust the internal brake shoes. If you need finer settings, you can make fine adjustments with the internal brake shoes. (4 brake shoes are on at the time of shipment.)
