Shimano's state-of-the-art HAGANE Gear technology lies at the heart of the redesigned Shimano Sedona FJ Spinning Reel, providing long-lasting smoothness and durability for assured resilience. This advanced technology is sure to support your fishing needs, allowing you to experience reliable performance in challenging conditions and beyond.  In this model, they brought back the anti-reverse switch.  Our guess at Tackle Express is that some anglers missed the ability to "back-wind" while fighting a fish.  Back-winding is a method where you turn the handle the opposite directions instead of using the drag.  It takes practice so be careful not to get backlashes.  

Shimano's state-of-the-art HAGANE Gear technology lies at the heart of the redesigned Sedona FJ spinning reel. Incorporating HAGANE cold-forging technology into the Sedona FJ gives it a step up from other reels in its class and provides long-lasting smoothness and durability for assured resilience even after countless battles with your target species.

The Sedona FJ series now features Shimano's SilentDrive technology to remove unnecessary noise and vibration while creating a quieter and smoother reeling experience. Sedona FJ's enhanced spool design features Shimano's Propulsion Line Management System for increased casting performance, while G-Free Body technology shifts the reel's center of gravity closer to the rod for better balance and less fatigue during long days on the water.

Introducing the Bates Hundo Casting Reel is roughly twenty percent smaller, one hundred percent Bates with the same quality and craftsmanship you’ve come to expect.

The Bates Hundo features a gunmetal grey anodized aluminum frame, fully CNC’d from 6061-T6 bar stock on our 9 axis machine. And just to be sure there’s no gimmicks or simple metallic coatings, we’ve left a few of the machine paths roughed into the frame making the Hundo an industrial marvel.

Beyond just a smaller, 100 sized frame, this reel boasts our new dual braking system along with a shallower spool so the finesse fisherman can easily dial in lighter lines and lures. We’ve upgraded some internal components as well, including lighter aluminum gears and improved bearings, which are a combination of 10 HAC Stainless Steel bearings plus 2 high precision NMB ball bearings, and 1 one-way Stainless Steel ball bearing. If your target species or preferred rigging demands a slighter, but more fine-tuned machine, you won’t be disappointed in the Hundo.

The Shimano Twin Power SW Spinning Reels are designed for anglers demanding strength and durability. The TwinPower SWC dominates even the most challenging fighting offshore game fish. Now featuring Infinity Drive to provide anglers with more cranking power under load, the TwinPower SW will put anglers in the driver's seat to win the battle even against the most hard-fighting game fish.

New for 2021, the TwinPower SW 10000 and 14000 models incorporate Shimano's Heatsink Drag to deliver overwhelming drag performance by dissipating heat away from the spool to reduce drag-force drop caused by friction. The Heatsink Drag also provides insulation against potentially-damaging heat flowing into the line to give the anglers increased performance during blistering runs and long fights with hard-fighting game fish.

Whether targeting reef species with jigs or pitching live baits to pelagics, the new TwinPower SW empowers anglers to have a distinct advantage and conquer any battle.

Features:

Forged from over 30 years of Curado performance and durability, this Shimano Curado 200 M Casting Reels inherits the latest Shimano reel technologies to provide enhanced castability with heavier lines and lures in any power fishing situation. Expanding on Curado's reputation as a do-everything reel, Shimano redesigned and refined the Curado 200 to provide ultimate castability with heavier lines and lures in any power fishing situation. 

Expanded line capacity comes without compromise as the Curado 200 M now leverages Shimano's MagnumLite (MGL) Spool III to reduce start-up inertia for unparalleled casting performance, especially when targeting trophies with large paddle-tail swimbaits, big jigs, deep-diving cranks, oversized frogs, Carolina rigs or umbrella rigs. The addition of SilentTune technology improves spool quietness during casts.

SVS Infinity technology provides precision casting performance with easy-to-manage and consistent spool control and brake force adjustments when faced with demanding conditions or switching between baits. The aluminum HAGANE Body provides added rigidity to increase cranking power and overall reeling efficiency, while MicroModule Gear, Cross Carbon Drag and X-Ship deliver the tournament-tested smoothness, durability, and versatility for which the Curado family is known.

The Valiant Slow Pitch Jigging reel was designed with the SPJ enthusiast in mind. We took our popular Valiant 300 and 500n models and removed the clicker added an optimized arm length and our popular SPJ knob for added comfort while jigging. The curved design of the frame and sideplate allowed us to design a reel that is incredibly light, but extremely strong. The Valiant SPJ reels have so much versatility, for some to use for rockfish, and many that are targeting the biggest homeguard yellowtail there are, and even the capability of catching 100 plus pound tuna fish! Known for being extremely light, and tough; and with the extended SPJ handle, allows for an insane amount of power and toque applied to massive fish with ease.

The Shimano Ocea Jigger Star Drag Reel is a flagship-level star drag jigging reel that uses Shimano's Infinity Drive technology to reduce friction between the pinion gear and spool shaft for paramount cranking power. It uses MicroModule Gearing for an unmatched gear feeling. The Ocea Jigger is available in 1500, 2000, and 4000 sizes. The 1500 size is recommended for fishing 50–80m, while the 2000 size is recommended for fishing 100m.

Equipped with Shimano's cutting-edge Infinity Drive technology, a redesigned main shaft supporting structure is employed to cut down friction with the pinion gear, which in turn results in greatly improved rotational torque. Rotational torque is also augmented by an adjustable long crank handle to provide the angler with exceptional leverage over heavy loads. 

The X-Protect feature enhances durability and preserves that out-of-the-box effortless rotation by utilizing a labyrinth construction that channels water away from key internal components, combined with a water-repellant coating. 

Shimano Ocea Jigger Features:

• Two position adjustable long crank handle offers all day jigging comfort
• Exciting drag sound allows anglers to know when they are in jeopardy of pulling hooks or breaking off
• Auto-Clutch return to easily bring the reel in and out of free-spool and react quickly to bites
• Spool lock allows anglers to more safely break off when they snag bottom
• New trouble free drag star design which allows for easy adjustment
• E.I. coating on the spool surface in order to prevent corrosion
• HG and PG gear ratios to properly pair with various jigging styles
• Shimano's best-in-class S-ARB bearings to provide long lasting performance

The Shimano Metanium DC 70 A Casting Reels are designed for peak performance and unparalleled durability. With a one-piece CoreSolid magnesium frame and upgraded I-DC5 braking system, this is the lightest Shimano DC reel to date. Fine-tune your casting control with improved accuracy and fatigue-free performance. 

Metanium DC 70 A features Shimano's innovative MGL Spool III technology, increasing casting performance by greatly reducing start-up inertia. HAGANE Body design provides strength and impact resistance while eliminating flex in the reel body, offering superior cranking power and efficiency when fighting fish. Shimano built the Metanium DC 70 A to accurately present a broad range of lures with precision and distance in any angling scenario.

The Tanacom family has grown even bigger. The brand new Daiwa Tanacom 800 Power Assist Kite & Deep Drop Reel is born with an astounding 660 yards of 80-pound-test Daiwa J-Braid – that’s 220 yards more than the Tanacom 750. It also has a 30 percent faster retrieval rate and 20 percent more power with 22lbs of max winding power. Maximum drag pressure has improved, too. Saltwater-sealed, it now stands at a trophy-turning 50 pounds. Kite-fishing fans will also appreciate the over-sized line guide aperture which is big enough to let swivels and large knots pass through, so go ahead and crank that rig right up to your rod tip. Still, the biggest improvement must be the new motor placement and gearing system. Previous Tanacom reels had the motor on the front which was sufficient.

The Tanacom 800, however, has the motor and new gearing hidden inside the spool itself – and that positioning really makes a difference in this reel’s outstanding performance. This new engineering design allows the same dependable motor we’ve had such great success with to generate even more power, speed and efficiency. Combine that with the rigid frame and side-plates, plus repositioned bearings that see less water exposure, and this reel is ready to rock and roll. It’s so fast, powerful, smooth, and saltwater tough that I can even see it pulling double-duty with swordfish, especially considering the outstanding line capacity. All the above changes are significant but big game, canyon and offshore fans will also love the Tanacom 800's ease of operation.

To that end, you’ll find an easy-to-read LED dot screen and sealed electronics package with selectable languages to prompt you through power assist settings and procedures including automatic stop and jigging features. Using the Tanacom 800, anglers can choose to fight fish with the Power Lever and Aluminum Round Knob or let the 12-volt power variable-speed assist do the heavy hauling. When you’re done for the day, simply wash down the reel without worrying about wetting the electronics because they are fully sealed.

Battery not included.
