The SR-Concept combines the new concept of Reliance with all aspects of the S-Concept: Smooth, Silent and Strong. The Reliance Concept, or R-Concept, means that dreams in reel design are now evolving into reality. The result of the use of the new S-R Concept in design is the development of many exciting new features.

SR-3D Gear Designed using 3-D analysis, this gear allows for more contact between teeth for increased power and efficiency

Rigid Support Drag This innovative new feature eliminates spool wobble, even at light drag settings.

SR-Guard Fin The SR Guard Fins are coated with titanium for increased resistance to impact damage.

SR-Handle This handle screws directly into to the drive gear, resulting in zero play between the handle and gear. The 1000 size handle is a very thin solid shank, while the larger sizes use a hollow handle shank, that reduces weight while maintaining excellent durability.

SR-One-Piece Bail This one-piece stainless steel bail wire has no gap for line to snag on during normal operation.

All Weather Drag The drag washers are protected by a waterproof gasket and provide a wide range of settings, low start up inertia, and excellent durability.

S-Concept Represents Shimanos initial philosophy on which many of our spinning reels have been designed. The three basic ideas that are inherent in the S-Concept are Smooth, Silent and Strong.

Super Slow Oscillation Lays the line perfectly onto the spool for the best line lay and castability.

S-Arm Cam A protruding surface on the bail arm keeps slack line in contact with the line roller to reduce the chance of tangles and line cuts.

S-Rotor Compact and lightweight to ensure a comfortable retrieve.

S-Guard Protects the body of the reel from impact damage.

S-Finish A multi-coated treatment that produces an extremely durable, beautiful finish.

S-Shield Body Rubber shields at the rotor and body prevent harmful sand or water from entering the drivetrain.

S-Bail A flexible spring material used in the bail assembly helps to avoid a bent bail wire situation.

Wide Diameter Drive Gear Provides incredible torque and an easy retrieve.

Direct Drive Mechanism The drive gear is directly attached to the handle shaft for an increased transmission of power.

Low Wear Rate Pinion Gear Double the hardness of our standard pinion gears for increased durability.

Maintenance Port A sealed plug that can be removed using a screwdriver to easily lubricate the drivetrain without disassembling the reel.

Magnesium Frame Our magnesium frames are safe for use in saltwater and provide an extremely lightweight reel.
