HEG consists of not only the gears, but also the frame, setplate, and
handle-side sideplate. First we increased the size of the drive gear
and the pinion gear to offer increased leverage and power. By using a
one-piece frame that incorporates the setplate and adding a one-piece
stamped sideplate, we have eliminated flex in the drivetrain that
causes normal gears to bind under pressure. By eliminating the flex and
increasing the leverage, we are able to provide high-speed retrieves
and deliver an incredible amount of torque, while maintaining the
smooth, silent retrieve Shimano reels are famous for.
Super Stopper II anti-reverse uses a one-way bearing that eliminates
backplay.This provides the angler with instant hooksetting power. In
some reels, the Super Stopper II can be turned off to allow backreeling
for special techniques and situations.
The Super Free bearing-supported pinion gear system (SF) was designed
to eliminate friction on the spool shaft during the cast. In standard
baitcasting reels, when the clutch bar is pressed down, the pinion gear
is freed and can actually drag on the spool shaft, creating friction
and limiting the length of the cast. With SF, the pinion gear is
supported by a ball bearing, and when the clutch is disengaged the
pinion gear and spool shaft are kept in precise alignment. The result
is zero friction on the spool shaft for increased freespool.
VBS uses centrifugal force rather than magnets to aid in controlling
the cast. The individual brake weights, when turned on, are forced
outward at the beginning of the cast when backlashes most often occur,
causing friction that reduces the speed of the spool. Once the spool
speed begins to slow, the pressure lessens, allowing the spool to
continue spinning. The result is a much more consistent spool speed
that is easier to manage and takes advantage of the reel's maximum
casting distance. Settings range from zero weights turned on for true
freespool and up to 6 weights turned on for extremely windy conditions
and maximum cast control.
A system used for easy and fast one-handed casting. The line and
trigger self-center, and are within easy grasp of the angler's index
finger. By pulling the line and the trigger with one hand, the bail
opens and is ready to be cast.- The new 200's are smaller than 100's with the capacity of a 200
