Aero Wrap II and other Spinning Features
Other Features
In addition to the innovations above, several other features have been added to the high-end spinning lineup from Stella FD to the new Saros F.
1: Direct Drive Mechanism (Thread-In Handle Attachment) to eliminate play in the drivetrain and increase transmission of power.
2: Maintenance Ports to allow easy lubrication of the reel without disassembly.
3: S A-RB These shielded A-RB bearings use either a rubber shield or stainless steel shield (depending on bearing size) for the ultimate in corrosion resistance and contaminant protection.
4: Super Stopper II Anti-Reverse This roller clutch bearing was designed by Shimano. It is massive in size, filling up the entire rotor compared to smaller bearings used in other spinning reels. Its size accounts for its strength and reliability, hookset after hookset.
5: WP Drag (Waterproof Drag) The drag is sealed with rubber gaskets to prevent water intrusion and provide smooth drag performance time and time again.
Aero Wrap II is a worm gear oscillation system with a specially designed pitch to create optimal oscillation speeds for the Propulsion Spool Lip design. It provides uniform line lay and winding shape to prevent loss of energy during the cast while providing longer casts than other oscillation systems. So, casting distance increases with less effort required.
