Shimano Technium FC Reel,
One look at the new Technium FC tells you this is a reel for serious anglers and the performance matches expectations whatever your style of fishing. This mid-priced front drag reel offers a wide range of technical features, including the excellent Aerowrap II and AR-C spool for optimum casting performance.
A waterproof micro adjustable drag makes the Technium FC suitable for light line fishing in its smaller sizes, whilst the largest 5000 model has a powerful high torque 4.8:1 retrieve ratio for big fish and extreme fishing.
The smoothness of the combined Roller Bearing and 3 shielded A-RB bearings matches the sleek looks, making the new Technium FE a serious consideration for anglers with a mid-priced budget.
S-System: Represents Shimanos initial philosophy on which many of our fixed spool reels have been designed. The three basic ideas that are inherent in the S-Concept are: Smooth, Silent and Strong.
S-Guard: Specially designed guards are attached to the rotor and the body, which prevent the accumulation of water and also give added protection against accidental bumps and knocks.
S-Arm Cam: Slack line around the line roller is the basic cause of problems during the cast. A newly designed roller incorporates a protruding lower surface, which helps prevent slack line, virtually eliminating the problem.
S-Drag: The drag washers are made of pure carbon. These provide a smooth performance from zero to maximum power and also offer excellent durability.
S-Spool: S-System spools are cold forged from aluminium alloy. The cold forging process creates a lightweight spool with increased structural strength. The addition of a spool ring, made from titanium-coated Zirconia, which is ten times harder than stainless steel, gives the lip added resistance to abrasion and damage.
S-Master Gear: The master gear is made of A7075 Super Duraluminium aircraft grade alloy for high strength and low weight. In the Stella reel it is further coated with a layer of Black Almite. Black Almite is a microscopic thin ceramic coating that provides scratch and corrosion resistance.
Dyna-Balance: Reduces reel wobble and allows produces ultra-smooth performance.
Power Roller: Significantly reduces line twist during the retrieve and is a big advantage when using thin mono and braid.
Super stopper II: With the reel set in anti-reverse mode you'll find zero free-play on the handle. Unerringly positive every time, its practical benefits include micro increment settings of quiver tips or specialist bite indicators and faster hook setting.
AR-C Spool: A spool design with a V-shape spool lip ensuring that the line comes off the reel in smaller loops for further and more accurate casting. The AR-C spool will minimise the risk of backlash.
Aero Wrap II: By improving the internal friction efficiency Shimano succeeded in bringing its line lay systems close to perfection. Close parallel coils in combination with 2 speed oscillation ensure smoother and further casting.
Easy Maintenance: An easy and efficient way to keep your reel working at optimum performance. This feature enables direct lubrication of the reel's inner workings - without having to take it apart. A small oil lubrication port can be found on each of the S-system reels which, when removed, enables you to apply manufacturer approved lubricants to the inside mechanism.
2 SPEED OSCILLATION: An advanced way of laying line onto the spool during the retrieve. As the rotor turns, the spool moves forward quickly and then returns slowly. This prevents the coils of line on the spool from bedding in with each other and improves casting performance.
Floating Shaft II: The key friction area on most fixed spool reels is where the spool drive shaft meets the pinion. Shimano designers have overcome this by reducing a large percentage of surface area contact, and incorporating bearings on either side of the shaft. The resultant design leaves the shaft in a "floating" position, considerably improving efficiency and longevity.
