Shimano spinning reels are very popular fishing reels around the world and their rear drag system is considered by many to be the best. Combined with the Fighting Drag lever, it becomes a quick, safe and easy task to adjust the resistance while fighting a fish.
Here’s a quick overview of the 2009 shimano rear drag spinning reels:
Aspire to
Top model with rear drag! Aspire RA is one of the most advanced rear drag reels Shimano has ever developed. The Aspire is the first shimanos “SR” system rear drag reel, something that gives it a fantastic combination of strength and low weight. Through extensive testing, the reel has proven to be 100% reliable, even in the most extreme fishing situations. In the Aspire RA, you’ll find real tech like the SR one-piece ball, SR 3D gearing, and Aero Wrap system with two-speed oscillation to provide the perfect line setup. 7 AR-B ball bearings and one roller bearing. Milled crank machine. Supplied with 2 extra bobbins and a bobbin bag.
Twin Power XT RB
Excellent quality and well thought-out functionality recognize the third generation with rear-drag Twin Power reels. A long list of novelties makes this a worthy heir to previous models. However, a closer look at the Twin Power XT-RB would reveal some great improvements, such as the new multi-disc trolling system that was specially developed to handle fast, hard-working fish. S system and 6 ball bearings plus a roller bearing: S-bail ring. Supplied with an additional aluminum spool and a reel bag.
Stradic GTM RB
Like the Twin Power XT-RB series, the new Stradic GTM-RB also has a completely new rear drag system. The new drive system does more and requires less maintenance than other drive systems. The double crank coupled with the upgraded Hyper Gear makes for incredible vibration free spinning, even with a 6:1 gear. It comes with an extra reel and a reel bag.
Super GT RB
The best-selling Super GT has the “slow oscillation” Aero Wrap system that provides optimal line setup. The Super GT RB’s new drag system does more and lasts longer than previous models. The tradition with Super GT dates back to 1988 and it has been one of the first choices for serious anglers. The real thing has been known for its peak achievements and high durability. The new model will take this even further and give you more drive and power. The transmission on the GT model is round less round rotor with crank and is therefore a good choice when you need power and not speed. These shimano spinning reels ship with an extra spool and reel bag.
Seido AR
Seido RA was last year a new rear-drag model at the top of the P3 ladder. Directly translated it means: Seido precision, something these reels really live up to. With a 5.2:1 gear ratio and a bearing count that normally corresponds to 9 ball bearings, this is a robust and solid reel that is not only a pleasure to look at, but contains features that will be appreciated by all anglers. sports during practical fishing. . We can mention niceties like multi-disc rear brake, low weight, Fightin`Drag, machine-milled aluminum crankshaft and extra aluminum spool. Also take a look at the details that Seido AR can offer. Plus the price tag. Are you convinced? It also comes with an additional reel.
I exaggerate RB
Just like the front-brake version, Shimanos engineers have given the rear-brake Exage a complete update ahead of this season. Aesthetics have meant a lot, but even more important is of course the mechanics and functionality, such as the new gear, closed ball bearings and double crankshaft. The previous model was heralded as a test winner around the world. We expect the same with Exage RB.
Nexave RB
Huge and popular Nexave RB, with an attractive new design, deep metallic blue color and even better finesse. Varispeed makes near perfect line spooling, something that increases cast length and improves cast accuracy. Easy spool replacement with a release button on the front of the spool. The extra reel also comes with it. The reel is easily compared to more expensive reels on the market with double the number of bearings, and is a perfect reel for most or as a replacement reel for the more experienced sport angler. You get a lot of real for your money and years of trouble free fishing.
Cataña AR
Catana’s unique and aggressive design blends perfectly with those fantastic features, 2 ball bearings and 1 roller bearing combined with a 3D designed motor, creates a completely “floating” feel usually found on more expensive reels. A strong aluminum spool comes standard, plus it offers an ultralight XT7 graphite spool. The progressive multi-drag system on this rear-drag model can be adjusted to accommodate many different forms of fishing, from easy to heavy.
RB relief
There was also an update to the rear braked Alivio RB last year, where the biggest changes were further development of the Micro Click multi-disc brake, new drivetrain-improving gearing and an overall upgrade to the exterior design. The right combination of Shimano’s world-famous gears and mechanics keeps Alivio among the best-selling spinning reels in the world. At this price level, it stands out for its simple and delicious design combined with the best mechanical solutions on the market. Here is enough of everything to give trouble-free and enjoyable fishing. Notice the transmission has increased from 4.6:1 to 5.2:1 on the new model.
Hyperloop RB
Price combined with quality is and remains the most important criterion for a cheap reel. With Shimano, the goal is to make the highest quality reel possible, even if the reel costs less than the competition. In Hyperloop RB it’s amazing how much “candy” one has managed to put on such a cheap reel. This modern reel has features like Super stopper and Varispeed line setup. When the reel spins, it’s even and smooth thanks to a stable motor and Shimanos Dyna Balance system. With Power Roller, line leader play is reduced to a minimum. Short said; a fantastic series of reels that can be used to its fullest.
