Quality Shimano Fishing Reels
For over a century, Shimano has engineered some of the smoothest, most durable fishing reels ever to hit Aussie waters. Their relentless commitment to cutting-edge innovation has cemented their status as a premier force in fishing gear. Whether finesse jigging for bream in the shallows or putting the heat on marlin offshore, Shimano builds reels ready for the task.
When you get your hands on a Shimano, one thing jumps: Shimano fishing reels are constructed to outlast even the saltiest old salts. Every component undergoes rigorous testing and is crafted from top-grade materials engineered for performance. From cold-forged aluminium frames to duracross drag systems (on selected models), Shimano fishing reels are made to deliver season after season of flawless retrieves if cared for properly.
However, longevity alone doesn't explain Shimano's success. Their real genius lies in never settling. Shimano constantly evolves, integrating the latest tech into their designs to push what's possible. Advancements like the X-SHIP gearing configuration and MICROMODULE gearing weren't enough - they had to one-up themselves with HAGANE drives. This drive for innovation is embedded in Shimano's DNA.
Just a quick disclaimer that included technology does vary from model to model. So, please check each Shimano reel listing and review the information about that model.
