Description

The Shimano Antares 70HGA Baitcaster Reel is Shimano's flagship low-profile baitcaster combining unrivalled casting performance with elegant design. Weighing approximately 220 grams with a premium magnesium Hagane Body, the reel delivers lightweight rigidity unmatched in its class. The MGL Spool III features 17% reduced inertia for effortless, accurate casting of both lightweight and heavy lures whilst the S3D balanced spool and SilentTune technology minimise bearing vibration for smoother, quieter casts. The precision MicroModule Gearing II and X-Ship pinion support system deliver silky-smooth rotation under load whilst the SVS Infinity braking allows quick, precise adjustments on the fly. The Cross Carbon Drag provides 5kg of ultra-smooth, consistent pressure whilst the 10+1 S A-RB corrosion-resistant bearings ensure long-lasting performance. With Exciting Drag Sound for audible feedback and Super Free Spool technology for enhanced casting, this premium reel excels across Australian waters.
