Shimano Antares B Baitcasting Reel

Experience the absolute pinnacle of Shimano’s baitcasting technology with the Shimano Antares B, a flagship reel engineered for uncompromising bass anglers who demand ultimate refinement and performance. This next-generation masterpiece is designed to deliver exceptional casting distance and unparalleled smoothness, setting a new standard for precision in the most demanding fishing environments.

The Antares B integrates two cutting-edge technologies to achieve ultra-low spool vibration: the MGL Spool IV and the SVS Infinity braking system. The innovative reverse-taper design of the MGL Spool IV ensures precise line winding and balanced rotation, while the SVS Infinity system adapts braking power based on spool speed to virtually eliminate backlash.

Key Performance Features:

• MGL Spool IV: A new lightweight, reverse-taper spool design that provides low-inertia startup for effortless casting of light lures and maximum rotational balance.

• SVS Infinity Braking: A high-precision centrifugal system that applies adaptive resistance to maximize distance while providing superior control in windy conditions.

• HAGANE Magnesium Body: Delivers a compact, palm-friendly, and incredibly rigid construction that eliminates body flexing to transform every turn into cranking power.

• MicroModule Gearing & SilentDrive: Features finely cut gears and a vibration-reducing support structure for a "butter-smooth" retrieve that is virtually silent.

• Cross Carbon Drag: Provides a wider range of drag settings and the smoothest stopping power ever offered in a Shimano baitcaster, essential for fighting trophy-sized fish.
