 | A-RB (Anti-Rust Bearings). Shimano's specially treated stainless steel
ball bearings are at least 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard
stainless steel ball bearings. |
 | Forged Aluminum Spool These spools are made from cold forged aluminum
then machined to provide an extremely dense, solid construction that can
withstand the heavy drag pressures the reels can apply. |
 | Chrome Plated Side plate Screws. The side plate screws are chrome plated
to prevent corrosion 2-Speed Gearing Uses 2 sets of gears that are always
engaged for quick, easy gear ratio changes even under load. |
 | Ratcheting Drag Lever eliminates the chance of the drag lever backing
off due to boat vibration and allows for more precise adjustment. |
 | Twin Disk Drag System uses two drag disks and a floating drag plate to
effectively double the drag surface which provides a wide range of settings
and increased durability (TI16 & TI130A only). |
 | Clicker: The clicker increases the tension on free spool and activates a
clicking alarm when a fish bites. |
 | The handle grip material, Septon, is soft to the touch and does not get
slippery when wet (not available on TI12 & TI16). |
 | Permalube: This lubrication improves freespool while maintaining
protection and durability of moving parts. |
 | Metal Series: With the Metal Series, metal frames keep moving parts in
precise alignment for increased efficiency and durability. |
 | Machined Aluminum Frame :These frames are machined from solid aluminum
pipe stock, which makes them incredibly rigid and strong for ultra tight
tolerances. |
 | Offset Ergonomic Power Grip: The power grip is offset on multiple axes
to allow natural hand, arm and wrist angles to improve comfort and power
(not available on (TI12 & TI16). |
 | Ergonomic Power Handle :Comfortable, non-slip grip provides maximum
comfort and torque (TI12 & TI16). |
