Introducing the latest range of Twinpower rear drag reels to offer high-end functionality and quality. The long list of new features make this reel an excellent successor to the earlier Twinpower models; upon close inspection, the new Twinpower XT-RB reveals many considerable improvements such as the new multi-disc rear drag facility - designed to cope with hard fighting fish. A new 3000 size, with shallow spool, has enough line capacity to cast long distances without the need for too much backing to fill the spool.

Like the Twinpower XT-RB series, the Stradic GTM-RB takes advantage of a newly designed rear drag system, which out performs and requires less maintenance than many other drag systems available. The GMT-RB's double-handle and improved Hyper Gears provide super-smooth operation, with a quick retrieve ratio of 6:1. A shallow spool Stradic 3000 is also available for braid and light mono fishing.

The high-speed Super GTM-RB series is supplied with a double handle, cold forged duraluminium spool (plus extra spare spool) and Aero Wrap system featuring 2-speed oscillation for maximum performance.

As found in all Aero Wrap rear drag reels, the Super GTM-RB takes advantage of the new rear drag system

The main difference between the Super GTM-RB and Super GT-RB reels is their gear ratio. The GTM is fast-geared for optimum speed performance whilst the GT provides more torque and power. The gear ratio of the GT version is one rotor rotation slower and offers extremely high cranking power. This makes the reel useful for crank bait lures and other heavy types of fishing where power is preferred over speed.

In addition to the familiar Super GT reels and purpose built match edition, a new 3000 shallow spool reel is now available; more than twice as deep as a standard match spool, and far shallower than a traditional full capacity spool.

This robust and reliable range of reels have a 5.2:1 gear ratio and a 9 ball bearing equivalent performance. Smooth, fast, powerful and great looking too, and packed with features that suit a wide range of techniques - whether it be float, feeder, silver fish or commercial carp. Features include Fightin’ Drag system, the Biomechanical handle for power and the double anodised cold forged push button release spools (1 spare single anodised cold forged version included in price) for instant spool swaps. And if great looks and an even greater performance can’t tempt you, check out the price.

Just as with its front drag equivalents, Shimano's engineers have given Exage RB rear drag reels a full makeover for 2009. Stunning as the new double-handled models are, this was far more than a mere cosmetic exercise. Now equipped with Zinc Diecast Drive Gear and CAP type bail arm and supplied with an SA CF spare spool as standard, an extra S SUS ball bearing has been added, bringing the total to four plus roller bearing for an even smoother, longer lasting performance.

The hugely popular Nexave rear-drag now incorporates embossed Shimano side panel logo and stunning new cosmetic. The push button spool is ideal for instant change over (1 spare alloy spool included). The 7 Ball Bearing equivalent Nexave RB has plenty of power, which makes it an ideal reel for novice anglers, or as a back up reel for the more experienced who like to have more than one rod set up. A 3000S (shallow spool) edition is also available in this range. A superb value for money reel - that will ensure trouble free fishing trips for many years to come.

At this price, you can't buy better! The superb design of the Catana RA is matched only by its' fantastic features. 2 ball bearings and 1 roller bearing, in combination with 3D CAD-CAM designed gears give a smoothness that you usually find on much more expensive reels. A strong aluminium spool comes as standard, along with an additional extra light XT7 graphite spool. The progressive multi-disk rear drag can be adjusted over a wide range of settings for very different uses, from light match fishing to heavy spinning. Dyna Balance for exceptional smoothness and performance and Super Stopper II for instant hook setting complete the features of this superb reel.

Classic matt black and grey chrome cosmetics suggest this reel should be much more than an entry-level product, with features such as Hypergear, Dyna Balance, Varispeed line lay and XT7 body. A 3000 shallow spool edition is now also available in the range.

The Hyperloop is the entry level of the P3 range. The reel features classical styling along with high-tech features such as Super Stopper and Varispeed line lay. By turning the handle you can immediately appreciate the quality of the gears, and vibration is almost eliminated by Shimano’s Dyna-Balance system. The Hyperloop also incorporates a Power Roller that keeps line twist to a minimum. The Hyperloop offers Shimano performance and reliability at a truly exceptional price.
